>How can they pull art like this while having habitual tracers like Greg Land, Mike Deodato, David Mack, etc, etc employed and selling their tracings as real art?
It's optics. Western superhero comics and AI are a match. The dumbest, sloppiest of slops that has been for decades made in a factory-line-like fashion, and a method that derives its effectiveness from repetitive nature of whatever it imitates.
But AI is a bad look because spammers shit up the web with awful vapid eyecandy it creates, so comic book companies read the room and try to be the good guys, even though it's their bread and butter to drive the illustrators and writers working for them like cattle.
