All Facebook groups for amateur artists have, in the past year or so, become pretty much exclusively 'AI art argument groups'.
Normally these groups would be for beginners to learn techniques and network, but now it's just all clowns spamming AI slop and trying to defend it as their own work.

Fun little poster project, and an excuse to make a story on the side. Goofy Conan the Barbarian with a lot of ducks, blood and sensitive emotional villains.

I'm just guessing, but, I have the feeling that the new Harry Potter reboot show is going to cast a black kid as Harry Potter, which will allow them to label any boycott or backlash against the show as purely racially motivated.
"If you hate JK Rowling you must be a racist." etc.

If someone in comics has expressed or shared transphobic views don't work with them, don't review or cover them, don't buy their comics, don't give them a platform, don't table them, don't publish them, don't go on their podcast, don't support them in any way. Just... don't.

Can I perhaps shamelessly share pages of my Star Trek TNG fan comic here? 🀭

It's certainly been straight downhill and directionless since Endgame. It felt like there was a cohesive plan behind it all before, but now it's just chasing what makes bank and abandoning what doesn't.
New Daredevil is decent enough in it's own right though, so far at least.

I once wrote a text to a mate bitching about how my girlfriend (at the time) was complaining so much, and then accidentally sent it to said girlfriend.
She did not care for it.

The desire to have power should automatically disqualify you from ever having it.

ARTIST CALL. If you do comic book interiors, link your portfolio below. I'm looking for a couple of people available to do short stories over the next few months.
If you're not available but might be looking for work later, please drop your portfolio anyway and let me know when you'd be free.

I liked how they spent time introducing us to each character, most of whom were immediately killed off. πŸ˜„
It was like a generic low budget sci-fi movie that they just, last minute, slapped the Star Trek name onto.

Star Trek Section 31 was abysmal.
Odd how Star Wars is able to have multiple shows, movies and spinoff while maintaining consistent lore, canon and style, whereas each new Star Trek thing has to reinvent the wheel and depart from what has been established.
Maybe Disney should buy Star Trek too.
