Update: Kubo said in his second Twitter post that he is more concerned with the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic creator, as opposed to whether there was actual copying or not. Thanks, maaya.
Update 2: Evelyn Dubocq, Senior Director of Public Relations at Viz Media, tells ANN, "We appreciate all our fans bringing this matter to our attention, and we are currently investigating this issue."
Update 3: Replaced "interested" with "concerned" in the translation of Kubo's second Twitter post. Thanks, tobu_ishi.
