I know there have been other threads about Nihei imitators and influences, but somehow I don't remember anyone mentioning the comic miniseries Beowulf from Antarctic Press. It came out a couple of years ago as several single issues but I think it's been collected since.

From the first cover you can see a lot of Nihei influence, especially Wolverine Snikt, I think.

You can read them all at . Search for "Beowulf", "David Hutchinson", or "Antarctic Press." It's free, but you need to create an account.

The thing is, his style changes from project to project & this the one that's most obviously Nihei-like. I prefer his other styles more.

What does everyone else think?

Yes, it seems like from nihei himself. But I´m always careful to say that nihei created this style. Rarely the inventor of something gets popular with it. Maybe nihei also just get inspirated from someone other.

I hope that many people get inspirated by nihei and there will be more dark mangas.

isnt nihei an imitator of hiroaki samura itself? with some innovations coming from his experience anyway

Just browsed trough it.
I would not go as far to call mister David Hutchison a Nihei-imitator. But it's clearly that he was inspired by Nihei-san works OR the same thing Nihei-san was inspered by.
Either way - it's interresting implementation of original Beowulf in cyber-like setting (cyber-world).
And yes - it gives a little bit of blamish feelings. tho drawings a little bit too clean for my taste.
