Education

Nick attended Pitzer College in Claremont, California, where he studied English literature. He graduated in 2011 with a degree in English Literature, laying the foundation for his later work in writing and comic book creation.

Comic Book Career and Publication

Simmons contributed to the comic anthology Gene Simmons House of Horrors, published in 2007. The anthology, created under the banner of Simmons Comics Group, marked one of his earlier ventures into professional writing.

In 2009, Nick debuted his original comic book series, Incarnate, at San Diego Comic-Con International through Radical Comics. The series centered around a supernatural narrative and reflected his strong interest in manga and graphic storytelling.

Controversies Surrounding Incarnate and Bleach

Despite initial excitement, Incarnate was suspended following widespread allegations of plagiarism. Critics and fans noted strong visual and stylistic similarities to the Japanese manga series Bleach by Tite Kubo. While Nick acknowledged that manga had greatly influenced him, he defended the originality of his work. The controversy affected the continuation of the series and sparked discussions about artistic inspiration vs. imitation in comic book production.

Acting and Voice Acting

Nick is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and gained recognition through the A&E reality television series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, an intimate look into the Simmons family. Additionally, he voiced characters in the animated series Robot Chicken on Adult Swim, showcasing his range as a voice actor and contributing to his appeal as a versatile entertainer.

Music Contributions

Simmons has also dabbled in music. He appeared as a guest vocalist on the track "Hand of the King" from former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick’s solo album, BK3. Contrary to earlier claims, Nick was not a guitarist for KISS between 1984 and 1996; he was born in 1989 and therefore could not have held that position. That statement has been corrected for factual accuracy.
