Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

My series from VIZ, Status Royale is a (e)sports manga that takes place in the near-future! It's about a Rowdy Girl rounds up a gaming team to take on the top player in the world: her Ex-Bestie🎮💫💥
It's one of my most collaborative comics, as I was able to hire/delegate parts to talented creatives.
