Reviewer Comments: I actually enjoyed this lot. Great writing and Cool artwork.

I must admit, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this comic. It’d be too easy for the son of Gene Simmons to get a comic published, so I was a little anxious when I thought of how this would be executed.

It’s actually extremely well written. It’s written intelligently, clearly and with good pacing. The story itself is actually more original than the majority of the stuff out there. I read both the first and second issue and I’m really impressed, overall. I’m not sure who Nick’s influences are, but it’s fairly obvious that he’s a dedicated reader. He clearly knows his stuff. Could Nick have found his calling? I hope so, because I’d be more than happy to pay for anything else he might want to write. Come on, Nick. Prove to us that this isn’t a two hit wonder?

I really, really enjoyed the artwork on this. Not sure how much of it Nick done himself, but I’d imagine he’d have done the majority of it. It has a manga feel to it, but don’t let that scare any of you manga haters out there, because while it does have a manga look to it, it maintains a more traditional western theme throughout. The panel placement is dead on, the character interaction is great, and the visual flow of it is just perfect.

I’d strongly advise anyone to give this comic a go. At first you may think it’s just a gimmick, being written by someone of celebrity. But I’ll tell you right now that it’s not another case of Tyrese Gibson’s Mayhem. You’re getting a ton of quality content for such little price. It’s definitely worth a read.

I wonder if you've heard about this lately.
These links are all about the comic known as Incarnate,
a comic that was reviewed by you in october of last year,
and about how so many of the panels so closely resemble
panels of popular Manga to the point that they can be
overlayed and have the same exact line structure and
overall placement, suggesting that the pages were traced.

I was wondering what your opinion on this is? You did a
review on it, so I was curious if you had heard about it and
what your reaction to the situation is.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

K. Slaughter

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a website filled with internet rumors specifically designed to stir up trouble. Hence the name.

And blogs are hardly reliable sources unless one of the artists supposedly plagarized from claimed that Nick Simmons copied his work on his or her blog.

Radical Comics is extremely reputable, and they've released a statement that publication of the comic will be halted until this is sorted out. Personally, I doubt they'd ever publish anything they weren't absolutely sure was original in the first place.

Curious as to why someone with no previous posts on this site would come here just to try and stir something up, though. What's your stake in this, KSlaughter?
