A dark-skinned hand holds up a black graduation hat. Glued onto the hat is a cutout illustration of a Black woman with glasses raising her shackled arms from behind. A broken metal chain hangs suspended between her raised arms. The top of the hat reads “2026” in golden letters, and the bottom left reads, “Finally free”.

A digital drawing of black Katniss Everdeen set against a forest green gradient background. She squats in her blue and grey Catching Fire arena outfit, her dark blue and white bow drawn at her front. Her gaze is focused off-screen as she notches an arrow towards the left. A long, brown feed-in braided hairstyle flows from the crown of her scalp to her mid-back. The artist's watermark, "Novva", sits in the bottom left corner. Circular targets emit from her red-tipped arrow in the background.
A screenshot with text that reads, “The Al usage. Using Al to do the illustrations instead of doing it manually is mandatory. The comic industry from a profit point of view is heavily dominated by the Japanese Manga industry even in the west, now accounting for 2 out of every 3 comics sold. To compete effectively, we need to be both fast and good at delivering products to market. There is no time or bandwidth to sit around waiting for 6 months for anyone to hand-illustrate a comic. That is not the reality of jobs in the comic industry anymore.”
