Damn @rdouek.com, paired with two of my favorites in artist Robert Gill and A Haunted Girl colorist Andres Mossa, has crafted a hell of a story about everyone’s favorite symbiote in VENOM: BLACK, WHITE & RED #4.
Douek has a superpower of distilling what makes a hero great.
Hoping to see more.

OpenAI recently did their first advertising for ChatGPT. Other than some on-screen text, it was filmed with real actors, real crew, even on real 35mm film. No Sora, no prompting, no generated images, even.
