The saddest part would probably be if he doesn't even think Bleach itself is good or even all the other mangas he copied off.

Thats pretty bad... but Nick always seemed so nice on the show.
Oh well, I guess nice people steal too.

Really? I mean, he was hilarious, but he's always been a douche.

What a total jerk. I don't even like Bleach, but as a manga fan I feel insulted after seeing such an obvious rip off. This guy copied every panel he didn't even bother to change the faces of the characters. A Orihime with blonde hair, wow no one would have guessed...
I just hope it doesn't end like Kayono's case.

His plagiarism already has a section on wikipedia. Its lists Yu-Gi-Oh!, Bleach, Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, NANA, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Deadman Wonderland, Fullmetal Alchemist, and One Piece as the series people are accusing him of copying. I can't believe how unbelievably dumb this guy is. If you're going to plagiarize, it shouldnt be widely known series. If there's a lawsuit and it ends like Kazusa vs. Kayono I'm going to be pissed as hell; I hate that people with connections get away with murder. *cough OJ cough*

If your going to copy, make it less obvious, as in not copying the whole panels, and add your style to it.

The American company Radical Publishing has announced that it halted the production and distribution of Nick Simmons' Incarnate comic book series on Wednesday evening, amid allegations that the comic plagiarized Tite Kubo's Bleach manga. According to Radical, "We are taking this matter seriously and making efforts now to contact the publishers of the works in question in an effort to resolve this matter." Shueisha publishes Bleach in its Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan, while Viz Media publishes the manga in North America.
Nick Simmons, the son of the Kiss rock band's lead singer Gene Simmons, launched the Incarnate series last August. Posters on the GameFAQs website's forum noted the similarities between Kubo's artwork (pictured at right) and Simmons' artwork (pictured at left) on Sunday, and the discussion spread to the Bleach Asylum forum and the Bleachness community on the LiveJournal website.
Kubo himself remarked upon the controversy in two Twitter posts on Thursday. He noted in the first post the amazing number of overseas fans who responded on websites about an American comic allegedly copying Bleach. He acknowledged that he does not understand English very well, but figured out from reading the sites that the American comic is drawn by Gene Simmons' son. (Kubo said in his second Twitter post that he is more interested in the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic creator, as opposed to whether there was actual copying or not.) Viz Media posted a Twitter message on Wednesday that said, "We've got our team on it."

Blatant copying. Did he really think nobody would notice? But I don't think Kubo would actually care much.
I just hope Nick's case doesn't turn out like that trash Kayono's. But hey, I'm sure he'll still manage to get work somewhere. I mean, Greg Land is still with Marvel
Also go check out youtube vids where he's promoting his pathetic piece of plagiarized crap. It's a bit funny now

Incarnate looks interesting, but it is a blatant ripoff. Quite pathetic if you ask me. Funny how Kubo Tite was less interested in Bleach being copied and more interested in Nick Simmons being a comic book artist.

My opinion? If you spell Nick Simmons backwards you'll get copy-cat.
