My second try with ChatGPT V5. The results are better than my with Part 3, but there are still lots of issues. I’ll address the problems and my process in a post coming next week.

For now, here is just the story:

The Last Superhero 4

I’ve started making AI comics again. Last year was a good beginning, but I didn’t feel the models had evolved enough to justify continuing the project on a monthly basis. That may have changed in 2026.

The quality still fluctuates — to put it politely.

But the idea behind The Last Superhero series is to use it for experimentation and testing anyway. So let’s continue.

For Part 3, I used ChatGPT for the first time. It has moved beyond DALL·E 3, so this comic was created using OpenAI’s GPT-5 image model.

There are plenty of issues: I’ve planend on creating a 4th part using ChatGPT for March where I try to get around the most servere issues. But I will also write a future post where I discuss all the problems and possible solutions.

For now, here is the complete comic short story…

The Last Superhero – Part 3

My second try was ok, but I felt like I ran into additional problems that I didn’t encounter in my first try. I would say that I was able to get 15-20% done of what I wanted to create.

The Last Superhero – Part 2

I try to finally get into making comics using AI. For my first try, I’ve created a world in which humans declared superheroes a threat to the world. Under the so-called “Fairchild Ruling” the heroes were declared persona non grata to be legally caught and executed by the authority and every citizen.

The idea is to first create some short stories in that world to test the available programs and see how far I can take them.

My first try was done with Midjourney:

I ran into a couple of problems creating the comic. Obviously, AI is still a giant hit and miss. I would estimate it to be at around 25% of where I want my comics to be. I’ll try to get better and increase that number as much as possible. So I’ll have to learn:

1. About creating comics: layouts, lettering, paneling, writing dialogue and storytelling for this medium.
2. About using AI properly: Midjourney has improved a lot since it’s early versions. There is still a lot of room for error in prompting. But I’m confident that I can learn to use it better while the future AI versions will offer more functions and better understanding of prompts.
3. About other AI solutions: There some comic specific AI programs I’ll check out and report on.
4. About using Photoshop: I should be able to fix “minor mistakes” with Photoshop. I will never be good enough to be a real comic book artist, but with a better combination of AI and Photoshop, I should be able to improve the outcome.
5. About uploading comics online: I’ll figure out platforms like Webtoons and social media platforms to check which ones are good places for me to put these comic stories out.

Here is my first try:
