For decades, the comic book industry has been defined by the physical dimensions of a printed page. We think in vertical rectangles because that is how paper is cut and how shelves are built. Even as we moved into the digital age, the "vertical scroll" became the dominant format for webtoons and mobile reading. But as a creator looking toward the future of entertainment, I have started to ask a very important question: why are we still forcing our stories into vertical boxes when the world consumes media in landscape? Right now, I am deep in the production of my latest project, Moving Target. This project is a departure from my traditional work because I am building it from the ground up in a 4K landscape format (specifically 2560x1440px). This shift is not just about changing the orientation of the canvas; it is about fundamentally rethinking how we script, draw, and distribute our stories to meet a modern audience where they live: on laptops, televisions, and video platforms.

Open Design is an open-source alternative to Claude Design. It uses the same loop and artifact-first mental model with none of the lock-in. Open Design is local-first, web deployable, and supports several coding agents. It behaves like a senior designer with a working filesystem, a deterministic palette library, and a checklist culture. https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design

The new ChatGPT image 2.0 just dropped yesterday. And so I tested it with my Comic book cover from a prompt I did a few days back. I asked it to create a comic book page of just the cover. What do you think @Mike Gagnon The Cover was created in another app.
