Peach hate is so fucking baffling to me
It's fine if you don't vibe with her artstyle but to have elaborate conspiracies over it just reinforces that people who only consume capeshit are the second worst, close-minded and self-sheltering fanbase in comics.

Why? She failed in Japan but found success in America because her husband did a great job marketing her by selling Marvel on her at a time where anime was growing in popularity and Marvel was going all in on variant covers despite being a rather mid artist.
She's popular because she's marketed well, not for actual talent, which is the epitome of an industry plant.

Plants could exist, but they don't. The industry is too small, too niche, and too irrelevant. Look up how many people work at Marvel and DC. Not freelance writers/artists, actual workers. Compared to other industries, it's practically nothing.
Comics don't make money. Look at the names on your funny books. The writer is long-term angling to become an indie who will option their original IP or a screenwriter building a portfolio. The artists come in with passion, but earn exponentially less than they would doing the same art in any other industry. They want to build a name for themselves so when they burn out, they can do variants, or they're attached to an original indie IP they can option. The exception to this is ESL artists from countries with currencies worth dirt (look how many Spanish names you see on your comics - it's crazy).
There's absolutely nepotism. When an industry is this small, it's even more rampant than it would be otherwise. People get chosen for spots over equally skilled people because they're friends, have more in common, etc. No shit. That's not a plant. Industry plants are manufactured and cultured identities. The writers/artists you hate aren't that. At worst, they got the job because they can handle the workload (which most people can't, because it's pennies for insane amounts of work), and they're friends with the others around them.
Nepotism is bullshit, but it's not an industry plant. Greg isn't assistant manager at your McDonald's because he's an industry plant. He's manager because he plays CoD with the manager after work. Comics are irrelevant. There are no industry plants, and industry plants occur in industries where a cultured identity (like music) is relevant. They're not in comics.

It's always been cope by people who can't handle the idea that they aren't some sort of universal intelligence voice of the people.

She’s a great illustrator, but not a great sequential artist. I appreciate that she tries, unlike all the Korean digital painters who are just in the industry to do covers.
There’s basically no connection between the cover artist and page artist pipeline these days , which is part of the reason she’s specifically singled out . She gets to do comics because she’s a popular illustrator, not because she broke in as a comic artist first.
Even a guy like Adam Hughes, who’s done way more covers than he ever did comics, had to draw sequential comic pages first before he could do covers( and he ended up being great at both). He’ll even Alex Ross, probably the best known painter in comics, had to do pages for his first few years in the industry.
Momoko’s sequential pages are nice, but you can tell she struggles pairing down her work for a comic page, and the flow of her storytelling is unpolished.

By this definition people like Kevin Smith and JMS are industry plants. Anyone who comes to comics from elsewhere?
Also checking everyone’s resumes King is really the only one who listed who came out of nowhere. The rest seem like pretty standard careers of various indie books and thankless Big 2 stuff for awhile before getting higher profile books. Thompson also wrote for some comic websites in the past. And Rowell and the Red Hood lady are novelists

No one should just stick to covers;doing covers should be something that’s earned after doing comic pages for years. And they should look like polished versions of the interiors, not entirely
different art styles.
Hiring all these artists just to do covers only happened to feed this industry that cranks out a dozen variant covers for every book to artificially boost the market.

Milli Vanilli were not plants per se.
It's a long story but there was this german producer who really liked soul music, he tried to move the the US but after people got weirded out by a german guy trying to play soul he returned to germany and decided to hire black actors to be the face of his music and his first project was Boney M, he was successful enough with it so Milli Vanilli was his attempt to move further on with modern R&B.

industry plants only make sense for an industry that is thriving

Feel like the real problem is lack of defining terms.

Co-writing on an event comic even. Then she did a Kate Bishop book and the Rogue and Gambit book before her run on Captain Marvel. Not nobodies, but B-listers, and I think you could make an argument that series reignited interested in them as a couple. I also think they were both planned as miniseries that got extended. Her Carol run was also probably the most successful since Kelly Sue.

I wouldn't call Momoko a plant, more a strategic push.
She'd worked independently in manga before, manga Marvel likely wouldn't want to publish themselves, but they likely have her front and center despite that to draw manga readers to them and likely approached her because people they knew happened to know her, instead of trying to reach out to an unknown.

Even if you define the terms people will reduce it to "things I don't like". Look at Mary-Sue, it was well defined for use in fanfics but people started to use it for actual characters.

OP you dumb fag
"industry plant" means this: CHILDREN OR SIBLINGS OF PEOPLE IN INDUSTRY CORPS (ie disney, marvel, warner, dc, etc) BEING PASSED OF AS ORGANICALLY SCOUTED TALENT
Momoko isn't a plant. Marketing yourself well qualifies as organic.
The creator of pic rel was an actual bona fide industry plant except he was too stupid to be planted successfully.

The practice of hiring actors for music was kind of common in the Euro music scene too. Especially for club hits.

I’d argue industry plants can also refer to creators who present themselves as independent but are secretly backed by big business money.

The term was coined to call out the children of obscure names in the business side of the music suddenly becoming pop stars in the 2010s

That's just basic nepotism. Very, very few people with familial connections in any industry broadcast said connections. Nick Cage? Industry plant. George Clooney? Industry plant? Beyonce? Industry plant.

>>149097512
Kibblesmith isn't related to anyone in the industry. He started off at Buzzfeed and The Onion before moving to tv writing. Comic-wise he started at Valiant.
>>149097555
That brings up a potential issue. Is an artist an industry plant if they have a record deal but independently release music through a side project? What about artists who aren't signed to a label but have distribution contracts with major labels?
>>149097499
Pretty common in the American dance scene too until Martha Wash kept suing everyone for using her work without credit or royalties.
