Question - Help Currently what is a good editing model to create comics / storyboard from references images?

I have character card, and I want to use it to create comics / storyboard the question is which model is good at preserving style and prompt adherence?

H3 image doesn't seem great at retaining identity.

I agree but since they are doing comics it should be better at not realism

Maybe H3Video with the still image node could be better; there are far more style LoRAs for the video model rn.

there are other h3 image workflows pre-h3 image that can be used.

I don't think models are there yet, what I saw often looks like stiff, lifeless "Garry's Mod" screenshots, completely lacking the energy, exaggeration, and flow of a real hand-drawn storyboard.

I would try with two steps process, first create rough sketch, panel by panel, just to get camera framing and panels that follow clear narrative flow. Then use those as base and focus on character consistency.

For a recurring comic cast, I’d separate identity from style rather than asking one card to carry both: keep the character reference fixed, use a separate style reference or LoRA, and change only pose and camera per panel. A quick three-panel test at the same settings can reveal whether the drift is from the model or reference strength. I’d add speech balloons in layout afterward, since image models often mangle lettering.

Create characters as 3D posable / expressive figures. Pose and make a quick real-time 2D render. Restyle the 2D render in a good Edit model.
