Comics are a strange medium to automate, because the drawing is only half of it. The other half is invisible: which moment goes in which panel, how big that panel is, where the eye travels next, what is left unsaid between two frames. A writer who cannot draw can now get finished-looking pages from a script, and that is a real change for people who had stories and no artist.
What the generators struggle with is exactly the craft part. Keeping one character recognizable across forty pages takes reference sheets and a lot of regeneration. Hands, props and backgrounds drift between panels. Page layouts tend toward safe grids, and action that should flow across a spread comes out as separate pretty pictures.
So the workable approach today is mixed. Let AI produce drafts, backgrounds, flat colors and upscaled files, and keep the storytelling decisions, the corrections and the lettering under your own hand. If you plan to publish or sell the result, also check what your platform, publisher or contest says about AI-made art before you invest months in a series.

Yes, you can get readable pages. Comic generators draw panels from your descriptions, keep a character roughly consistent and add speech bubbles. Expect to spend your time differently, not less of it: writing clear panel descriptions, regenerating images that drift, and fixing layout and lettering. The storytelling skills, what to show and when, still decide whether the comic is good.
Start with a reference sheet showing the character from several angles and with a few expressions, then use a tool that accepts that sheet or a saved character as input. Keep the outfit simple, describe the same key features every time, and compare each new panel with the sheet. Even then, plan on correcting small details by hand.
It depends on three things: the license of the tool and plan you used, the rules of the platform or publisher, and copyright law where you live. Some tools restrict commercial use on certain plans or by company revenue. Some marketplaces require you to disclose AI content. Check all three before you list the comic for sale.
Generally no. Text drawn by an image model is often misspelled or uneven and cannot be edited later. It is more reliable to generate art without text and add balloons and lettering afterward in an editor, using a readable font. That also makes later corrections and translations much easier.
Printers usually specify a page size and a resolution, and requirements vary, so ask your print service first. Generated images are often too small for print and need upscaling. Upscalers can soften fine lines or screentones, so check a test page at full size, and order a single proof copy before a larger print run.
Tools are placed in a stage by an editor, from each tool’s own profile. The list grows as more profiles are published. All guides
