You mean besides someone inking over the artwork of a dead man with their oc, then announcing plans to use it as a cover for their shitty comic, shilling that it was going to be the last cover of that artist ever published, and finally burning the fucking thing when the dead man's estate told him he couldn't use it?
Then I guess the controversy is that the guy did all that and still claims to be fighting for comics.

On the twitters, the latest defense for this is "WELL ERIK LARSEN DID IT!" and referring to the Savage Dragon Jack Kirby cover.
However, the difference is that Larsen didn't ink over the original work, didn't attempt to sell it as "the last Jack Kirby cover ever published", actually got permission from Jack Kirby's heirs to publish it, and didn't destroy the fucking thing.
It helps that Larsen also sold exclusive, signed prints of the cover whose proceededs went to the Jack Kirby Muesum.

Ok, this is something for my fellow drawfags on here. Back in the day, inkers used to ink on vellum paper. Vellum paper is transparent, allowing you to ink the original art without inking on the original art. You don't have to worry about fucking the entire piece up and some found it easier to ink as vellum paper doesn't soak up ink like regular Bristol board.
Now, this vellum paper isn't some long-lost material. You can buy a pad of the stuff in any art or office supply store. That means there was absolutely no reason for Mike Miller to ink over an original Mike Wieringo breakdown.

Inking on vellum is a pain and a lot of inkers are persnickety about the paper they use — but he easily could have printed a blueline version onto bristol from a scan or even a cell phone picture. And he should have.
That said, Cully Hamner seems like a lunatic.

>Cully Hammer seems like a lunatic
He sounds like a guy who is really pissed.
Which makes sense, considering that there are people in the industry who knew Wieringo and remember him, and Miller was attempting to shill it as Wieringo's final cover.

Actual CG'er here (let's face it, we're all watching the videos. In fact, I first heard of D&C on here, when somebody called him the only good comics youtube channel), it died when Vox Day trademarked it and decided he was now the leader. There was a bunch of people who said they were things like "Comicsgate adjacent", and now they just don't mention it, even though they're making the same sort of videos.

It looks like Mike is now on the receiving end of the troll train. After threatening to buy and burn a Dave Johnson convention sketch, Johnson responded by drawing Mike's character Loadstar and inviting Mike to bid on it. The sketch will include one match for easy burning.
https://archive.fo/o9jW7
The current bid is over $500. Dave Johnson has floated the idea of donating the money to Planned Parenthood in Mike's name.
