Text reads: We do not review comics using generative AI “art” or the work of any creator using AI “art” in their practice. We operate a zero tolerance policy towards any form of generative AI. To speed up consideration for coverage we ask anyone submitting comics for review to confirm they are 100% free of gen AI with the statement “No generative AI was used in the creation of this comic” within the body of the text of their review request e-mail. Broken Frontier is an inclusive platform seeking to celebrate the diversity of the medium and those who work in it. We do not accept review submissions from anyone who is either involved in, or who associates with those involved in, comics hate groups.
