At Puerto Rico Comic Con, she was served with a cease and desist order by Skybound Entertainment, after artist Ryan Ottley reported her for using his artwork from Invincible. Since then she, and other people who sell her work at shows, have been under intense scrutiny, and she has been ejected from some shows, such as Comicpalooza after appearing there.
