| The Core started by Korey Rochon. |
Originally I reported about this new Online Comic Con run by
Korey Rochon, was running a new style online comic con that was going to run
every other week starting in the end of May. Well plans have fallen through apparently,
as the creator was slowly gathering PDF’s from several creators, and he would
not explain how he was going to reimburse payment to several creators. Furthermore,
he kept changing his tune on what he was exactly doing.
When pressed further by many other comic creators he would
turn around and block these creators without trying to explain his motivations.
The event seemed like a promising try to get independent
creators names out there.
It’s being reported as well that Korey Rochon started to
demand further work from creators, telling them he required more work from them
and when people would question he offered little explanation.
When I looked into his website that housed several of the creator’s
works, the main website was taken down and he claimed that he was pushing the
con back to another date. Meanwhile he gathered many PDF’s from several people
who submitted entire books to this online con. I would suggest people that submitted
work to this guy, be on the look out as this maybe a fishing ruse where
Korey can be gathering other creators work, and using it for his own personal
gain by saying he created all these works to get more money from other people. Over
the last few years there have been several similar scams where people use
another creator’s work as their own, so I suggest everyone to stand vigil and
be on the look out.
If anyone has anymore info about Korey Rochon, please share
it here with me. I’d love to talk.
