"replied,"Are you serious?!?!?! So we, the artists, are finishing the last piece of bread!!!! We work for years, we draw every day, we take care of our health to at least somehow break through!!! And you just decided to generate everything through AI?!!!!
Are you kidding me!!!??? I've sent you my portfolio for so many years, so many times!!!!! And I haven't even received an answer from you once!!!! I've been trying to get through for so many years!!!!
I get up at 6 a.m. every damn day, draw, you can say I put off my life to draw and improve!!! Yes, I may not be the coolest and best artist, there are those who are better than me and they deserve a chance to draw such posters!!!! I go to bed at one o'clock in the morning!!! , and train my drawing skills to become better, to get a chance to make a living from it!
And I'm not the only one like that! There are thousands of us! Artists who have devoted their whole lives to it! And you just took and decided to replace the artists with a generation?!
Have you gone crazy with the whole publishing house there?! You just spit not only in the face of readers, you also spit on artists and illustrators.
"However, I understand that this is a decision from DMG, the current owners of Valiant, rather than Alien Books, who are making the comic book line, published and distributed through IDW. And that whatever this is, it's nothing to do with the comic books.
But something that definitely is a comic book…, under Best Anthology which raised over $39,000 from 614 supporters on Zoop and included Michael Todasco, a"Visiting Fellow at the James Silberrad Brown Center for Artificial Intelligence at SDSU, Writer, Angel Investor, Advisor" who says he"spends his days thinking about how AI will change how we create Using generative tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and the ever-growing slate.
","My AI persona, Alex Irons, is being published in a new comic book compilation starring the 1940s, public domain superhero, Stardust the Super Wizard. I trained a model on the original Fletcher Hanks artwork and story structure, and the AI generated the published tale.
However, don't buy it for that reason. There are 139 pages of insanely talented human creators who fill the rest of the book, including legends like Mike Allred. A couple of days remain to pre-order a copy. ""My AI-Written book, Artificial America, was just released in 13 countries.
You can purchase a digital copy in the US for only $4, and all proceeds from global sales will benefit Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. If you pick up a copy, let me know what you think. Are the bots going to take over writing? If not now, when?
" Is that theAnd this A.I. generated text: "#bolo Airwalker delivers a fast-paced origin story that blends street-level grit with cosmic superhero energy in a way that feels both classic and modern. Bo Chang is an instantly likable lead, carrying the emotional weight of family responsibility while being thrown into a much larger conflict involving science, power, and survival.
The story moves quickly, making it an easy and entertaining read, but still gives enough depth to make readers care about Bo's struggles in Chinatown and his relationship with his mother. Fans of classic Stan Lee concepts will recognize the underdog spirit and larger-than-life transformation at the heart of the book. Danny Luckert's variant cover is a standout and gives this ashcan edition an energetic, collector-friendly appeal.
While the story mainly serves as a setup for future adventures, it succeeds in introducing an interesting hero with plenty of potential. Overall, Airwalker is a fun and promising launch that comic fans should definitely grab at their local comic shop. #readcomics #comicsaregoodforyou #ignitionpress #ashcan @jerhaun @d_luckert @ignitionpress FYI all orders from Nickel City Comics will receive a FREE copy just mention this post .
