Yeah. GlobalComix has said they're short-staffed, so maybe it's hard to stay on top of uploads, but if you and others know about that, I hope someone emailed or notified GC about it at some point. They plan to implement a reporting feature for comics suspected of using AI. I hope that helps. x___x

Brian Mannell - The Wretched (Horror/Sci-fi) @bmannell.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I wouldn't say they completely embrace AI, but they allow some exceptions depending on the person, with limits and with a clear label if any amount is used. Otherwise, AI content tends to get removed. globalcomix.com/ai-policy
