X-Artist Called Out by Fans on Social Media for ‘Tracing’

In the midst of a growing discontent within the comic book creative community over the use of generative so-called “artificial intelligence” machine learning programs (meaning that a computer/machine has learned information, such as the past work and art style of other artists, and descriptions of characters and images, and then generated a new image using that learned knowledge), comic book fandom has recently been turning its ire on a comic book artist who is alleged to be doing a much-more old-fashioned comic book concept of “swiping” panels from other artists.
Alessandro Miracolo is the artist on Marvel’s brand-new series, Phoenix, part of Marvel’s “From the Ashes” relaunch of the X-Men line of comic books (the series is written by Stephanie Phillips), and fandom has taken issue with what appears to be Miracolo “swiping” other artists throughout the issue.
In comic book parlance, to “swipe” means to re-use a previous artist’s panel layout. Sometimes this means literally tracing over the original drawing (many fans are calling Miracolo a “tracer”), but in reality, you can “swipe” another artist’s panel designs without literally tracing their work, as you just copy it as you draw. This is a bit of a controversial thing, of course, but obviously, comic book swiping has been going on since the days comic books first began.
