Writing your story

Every issue begins with a synopsis — a description of what happens in the story. The synopsis is what the AI reads to plan pages, assign characters to panels, write dialogue, and guide image generation.

A good synopsis is the single biggest factor in how good your comic will be.

Two ways to write a synopsis

Write it yourself — paste any length of text describing your story. A solid synopsis is 100–500 words covering the setup, the main conflict, and the resolution.

Expand a one-liner with AI — type a one- or two-sentence idea and have the AI expand it into a full synopsis. You'll usually get a few variations to pick from. This is great when you have a vibe but no plot yet.

What a great synopsis looks like

• Names the main characters by the same names you've defined in your character list. The AI matches by name to keep them visually consistent.
• Sets the location — where does each scene happen? "In a neon-lit Tokyo back-alley" beats "in a city."
• Has a clear arc — beginning, middle, end. The AI tries to fit this across the page count you specify.
• Includes specific actions and details — "Maya climbs the rusted fire escape, glances down at the patrol car, and ducks through a broken window" generates a far better page than "Maya escapes."
• Doesn't overspecify dialogue — leave room for the AI to draft dialogue that fits the panel composition. You can always rewrite it.

What to avoid

• Long character backstories — those go into the character description field, not the synopsis.
• Restricted content — graphic violence, sexual content, or anything depicting minors in a sexual context will be blocked by content moderation. See content policy.
• Trademarked or copyrighted characters by name — name your own characters; describe them as you want them to look.

Adjusting page count

When you create an issue, you pick a page count. The AI fits the synopsis to that count by adjusting pacing — denser or sparser scenes per page. If a 4-page issue feels rushed, try a 6- or 8-page issue with the same synopsis.

Editing the synopsis later

You can re-edit the synopsis after the issue is created. Re-generating pages from a changed synopsis will produce a different story — old pages aren't automatically replaced; you regenerate the ones you want updated.
