An overlay comparison between two illustrations; one from Incarnate (color), and one from Bleach (grayscale). This (and similarities in other pages to other manga illustrations) leads many to believe that Nick Simmons plagiarized various notable manga works.

Fans are voicing concerns that the contents of his comic book series Incarnate were copied from various other sources. Simmons is accused of plagiarizing character designs, fight scenes, plot segments, dialogue, poses and expressions from both professional and amateur artists, specifically from both published manga and from art communities such as DeviantArt.
