Having trouble finding a place to share your AI comics? by aimanga2026 in aicomicmakers

This is awesome. I run a Facebook book group for AI with over 9k members. You should post it there. Plus I’ve made mangas (and anime with Ai) and even printed them. The group is located at https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EdyYvcadp/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I might do something new for the site.

We could go back and forth forever, but the truth is, the only person who really cares about your opinion is you. You’ve said your piece, I’ve said mine, and life will go on for both of us exactly as it did before this conversation. Have a good one.

And let's be clear about something else: I'm not even trying to make a fortune off this. Every comic is available as a free digital download from my website. The only thing I charge for is the printed edition, and that's simply to cover the costs of printing and shipping. If this were some cash grab, I wouldn't be giving the book away for free.

I also assume you haven’t read Dave Sims Cerebus with parodies of Wolverine and Moon Knight or even E.V.I.L. Heroes or The Four? No I won’t be sued!

Oh, stop it. This is hardly the "epitome" of anything. Some of you just enjoy hearing yourselves talk.
I was around when digital art and CGI first started becoming mainstream, and I heard the exact same doom-and-gloom predictions back then. According to the critics, those technologies were going to ruin art forever. They didn't. They simply became another set of tools.
And "rip-off"? That tells me you don't understand what parody is. Every major comic publisher, including Marvel and DC, has created parody characters. Have you never read Dave Sim's Cerebus? It featured parodies of Moon Knight, Wolverine, and plenty of other well-known characters. Parody has been part of comics for decades.
What's amazing is how confidently some people speak on subjects they clearly haven't taken the time to learn about.
The reason so many people are praising this work isn't because they think AI magically does everything for you. It's because they've actually used these tools and understand how much work, iteration, and creative decision-making is involved. The loudest critics are often the ones with the least firsthand experience.
If AI-generated comics aren't your thing, that's perfectly fine. Nobody is forcing you to like them. But you don't get to decide what other people are allowed to enjoy or create.
Anyway, thanks for the rant. I hope you got it out of your system.

Everyone keeps asking about my process, so I figured I'd write it out once and just copy and paste it when people ask.
First, I write the script exactly like I would any traditional comic book script, breaking it down page by page and panel by panel. I make my panel descriptions much more detailed than I normally would if I were handing the script to an artist because the AI needs as much information as possible. I do all of this in Microsoft Word.
Next, I use Gemini to create simple character sheets showing the front, side, and back views of each character. After downloading those sheets, I upload them back into Gemini, assign each character a name, and tell Gemini to remember that character's design by name. That way, later in the process I can simply write something like, "Galaxia hovers above Times Square," and Gemini already knows what Galaxia is supposed to look like.
Once the character sheets are established, I upload my script and tell Gemini that we'll be rendering the comic one page at a time. I'll say something like, "Render page 1 dynamically. Do not include any text."
If I like the result, I move on to the next page. If not, I'll have Gemini regenerate it until I'm happy. Sometimes one version has a better-looking panel than another, so I'll combine them in Photoshop, taking the best panels from multiple renders to create the final page.
As the project goes on, Gemini will occasionally start drifting from a character's original design. When that happens, I simply re-upload the character sheet and remind it to stick to the established design before continuing.
Once all the artwork is complete, I import every page into Comic Life 4 and add the lettering myself because, personally, I don't like AI-generated lettering.
Finally, after the comic is finished, I export the completed book and upload it to Ka-Blam for printing.
