[6] The series was then relaunched in mid-2009[2][4] with Radical holding a launch party at San Diego Comic-Con.

Concerns were raised in late February 2010 that Nick Simmons had plagiarized character designs, fight scenes, plot segments, dialogue, poses and expressions from both professional and amateur artists, from several published manga (the most notable being Bleach), and from art communities such as DeviantArt.

[9][10] Evelyn Dubocq, Senior Director of Public Relations at Viz Media, the American publisher of the Bleach manga, was quoted as saying "We appreciate all our fans bringing this matter to our attention, and we are currently investigating this issue".

[10] Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach, one of the manga specifically named, made two Twitter posts on the situation to comment on the number of people outside Japan commenting on the accusations, and noted that he was more concerned by the fact that Gene Simmons' son was a comic creator than he was concerned about his work being copied.

[8] On March 1, 2010, Nick Simmons released the following statement regarding the accusations of plagiarism: Like most artists I am inspired by work I admire.

[13] The series was due to be released as an individual volume in mid-2010, although its future relies on the publisher's investigations.
