The American company Radical Publishing has announced that it halted production and distribution of the Incarnate comic book series by Nick Simmons (son of KISS lead singer Gene Simmons) amid allegations that the comic plagiarized Tite Kubo's Bleach manga.

Similarities between the two works were discovered by on-line manga fans.

Kubo says 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.
