Unfortunate news about John Romita. His golden age work is priceless. 

Cormac McCarthy, the author of many books, including No Country For Old Men and the cannibal apocalypse The Road. Both were turned into Movies.

Gotham Knights was canned after just one season. I never saw an episode, but the reviews weren't too good.

Treat Williams, an actor in many movies and TV shows, died in a road accident. Excellent in Lovecraftian-inspired horror Deep Rising.

Yes, pop pickers John Carpenter has intonated that there might be a sequel to his celebrated 1982 classic The Thing. Is it true? We'll have to see.

Well, it's here. Now anyone can create a reasonable-looking piece of art via Midjourney or various other art AI-applied programmes. This might mean disaster for artists, whose livelihood depends upon their skill at picture creation, but there appears to be no stopping the technology. I decided to make this thread for anyone with concerns or wants to throw in their opinion, artists or not. I feel it might be like Digital publishing which was once feared to be replacing books, and that didn't happen, so maybe there's a silver lining to AI-Geddon. Nothing can replace the human touch in picture-making, IMHO.
