A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

See our sister sites!

I mean, yikes..?

I first shared that at !comicstripedits@lemmy.world, where we take classic comics and edit them in to ridiculous new shizzle. I really did believe it was someone's edit, at first, but NOPE-- it turned out to be almost impossibly, improbably authentic.

More on the whole affair here, including additional pages:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/articles/did-batman-really-say-quiet-or-papa-spank/1100-142389/

Bottom line? There's never been a proper explanation, body of behavior (on Batman's part) or even cultural context to explain why he blurted out "quiet, or papa spank!"

So, another mystery for the ages, I suppose...

They didn't help their case by failing to parse what panel was in question.

Boo-fuckin-hoo, you posted the whole page and they posted just the panel. Sure, they could have given a few more seconds to look over, but you coming out swinging immediately falsely claiming "AI" is what's not winning you any prizes.

Oh LMFAO now you're against people trying to keep AI out? Suddenly your attitude makes a lot sense, didn't realize I was talking to a slopper.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I'm saying be smarter about it, don't attack random people who aren't posting AI slop (because this still isn't AI, no matter how much you want to be a justified asshole). Actually learn the signs of what an AI altered image will look like.

Don't confuse simple photo editing with your blind hatred for AI use.
