Brian Haberlin's Faster Than Light at Image, Shows How at San Diego

Brian Haberlin brings his Faster Than Light in 3D and a Treasury Edition to Image Comics... and shows how he does what he does at SDCC

The discussion regarding the use of AI in the art for comic books, and they work of Brian Haberlin who has been using it the most and for the longest, before anyone was even really aware it was a thing, has yet to kick off as it has with other folk. But Haberlin has pushed a strong defence when it has come up. While still doing full hand-painted original work purely from his own skull. We don't know to what degree this is used in his new book, Faster That Light 3D Treasury Edition with all its bells and whistles, with creators David Hine and Geirrod van Dyke, and published from Image Comics in their October 2024 solicits and solicitations. Certainly, it feels like this may be a way to get a 3D effect in a quicker, more accurate fashion. It may also put him into the same category as the likes of Dave McKean and Ryan Hughes in this regard. Not being used as a lazy shortcut by untalented or time-pressed creators but as an attempt to create something impossible otherwise. We shall see…

Brian Haberlin does also have three "how to" panels at San Diego Comic-Con, and I would love to hear if this issue gets brought up there, in a civil and respectful manner of course. I understand some emotions run wild on this issue, but I think a lot more could be learned with considered chat, and Brian Haberlin demonstrating his skill in person.
