Genre and setting: [genre, place, era]
Characters: [original character descriptions, clothing, distinguishing features]
Story beat: [what changes from first panel to last]

Page format: [US comic, A4, webtoon crop, square]
Originality constraints: [no copyrighted characters, logos, or copied panels]
Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, Firefly]

Create:
1. A panel-by-panel beat sheet.
2. One finished whole-page image prompt.
3. Separate prompts for any panel likely to need regeneration.
4. A character and prop continuity checklist.
5. A negative prompt for duplicated characters, broken gutters, unreadable flow, and fake text.
6. Lettering-space notes for balloons and captions added later.

Make the reading order obvious and preserve character appearance, wardrobe, handedness, props, and movement direction across panels.

Example Output

Five-Panel Beat Sheet

1. Wide panel: an adult bicycle courier reaches a rain-soaked rooftop at dusk.

2. Medium panel: the courier notices an open metal case near the ledge.

3. Close-up: a gloved hand hovers above the case latch.

4. Narrow reaction panel: reflected warning lights cross the courier's face.

5. Wide final panel: a small drone rises beyond the opposite roof.

Whole-Page Prompt

Original five-panel comic page, clean black ink with muted teal and red spot color, consistent adult courier in yellow rain jacket and black helmet, clear left-to-right reading flow, wet rooftop continuity, cinematic perspective, blank dialogue balloons only, crisp white gutters, US comic page.

Negative Prompt

Extra courier, changing jacket color, duplicated case, broken gutters, random letters, reversed movement, malformed bicycle, mixed art styles.
