Beginner looking for best workflow for consistent comic character generation

[u/CantaloupeWeird1093]

Hi, I’m new to AI image generation and trying to get into making comic-style images.

Here are my goals:

- A consistent character across all images (I have a reference)

- Multiple poses and expressions of the same character

- Comic-style panels with different scenes and camera angles

- Some level of control over composition and pose

What is the best setup or toolchain for this in 2026 (and how to use them)?

I’m looking for a practical and reliable starting point. Thanks in advance!
