Flux ArtCorrect character art does not guarantee the right speaker
The same face and clothes do not prove that comic dialogue is correct. A bubble tail pointing toward a nearby character or two lines swapping vertical positions can change what readers understand. First record each line's speaker and sequence from the approved script, then check bubbles and panels. Flux Art can create visual candidates for comic panels; keep approved dialogue in a separate editable layer. Do not treat text that looks fluent in a generated image as a script that has been checked.
Number dialogue lines, not only characters
Create a record of panel ID, dialogue ID, speaker, exact text, and any needed pause or continuation note. Distinguish narration, inner monologue, off-panel speech, and ordinary dialogue; do not assign text to the nearest visible character just because no speaker appears. Mark unclear attribution as unknown and ask the author to confirm. Preserve earlier versions and revision reasons. Do not silently change the approved script by deleting words to save layout space, or fill a blank by copying a line from another page that seems suitable.
Follow the work's agreed reading direction, not assumptions about language
Confirm whether the work reads left to right, right to left, or as a vertical scroll, and establish panel order across transitions. Chinese-language work can use different layouts; do not infer direction from language alone. Suppose an answer is positioned before the question: even with the same characters and word count, the layout needs correction. This is an illustrative assumption, not a real comic test. The checks below follow the order agreed for the work; they do not claim that every comic must use the same bubble placement or panel pattern.
| Review level | Match to approved script | What to do if an issue appears |
|---|---|---|
| Dialogue attribution | Each line maps to a speaker or narration type | Ask the author to confirm unknowns |
| Order within a panel | Question, answer, and consecutive dialogue sequence | Rearrange bubbles; do not alter dialogue without approval |
| Bubble tails | Ordinary dialogue points clearly and unambiguously | Adjust placement and check style exceptions |
| Continuity across panels | Voice source and relationship between adjacent panels | Keep the continuity note; do not invent an ending |
| Multilingual lettering | Complete text and consistent reading path | Reletter and review neighboring panels |
| Publication size | Text, tails, and crop boundaries | Read the actual export, not only a magnified view |
Check bubble-tail attribution and exceptions
Tails on ordinary speech bubbles usually help identify the speaker. Check that each points clearly and does not cross another character or blend into a background line. Not every text box needs a tail: narration, inner voices, and off-panel speech may use other treatments. Follow the work's agreed style instead of adding a tail to every box for visual uniformity. When characters are close together, adjust bubble placement or spacing; if attribution remains unclear, ask the author how to express it rather than changing the speaker to fit the image.
Check sentence order within a panel before solving crowding
Read the panel's lines in dialogue-ID order. Check which bubble a reader will naturally see first, whether tails and boxes cross, and whether two consecutive lines from one speaker could be interrupted by another character's dialogue. If the text is too dense, discuss space, panel allocation, or a revision approved by the author. Do not shrink it until unreadable or remove a qualifier that changes meaning. Bubble connections must match sentence continuity; two nearby boxes should not be joined merely because they are close.
Continuity across panels does not mean dragging a tail across the frame
When a sentence continues into the next panel, or narration or off-panel speech continues after a scene change, the script should define the relationship. Readers need to know whether the voice belongs to the current image or the previous scene, but there is no universal visual treatment. Check whether character movement at a transition causes misattribution and whether dialogue breaks awkwardly at a page turn or long-image crop. Do not use one long tail across several panels to conceal an unclear script, or let a model invent the ending of an unfinished line.
Review the text and read it in the image in two separate passes
In the first pass, compare dialogue content, speaker, and order with the approved script. In the second, read the final image and check whether the visual path communicates those same relationships. Then trace every text box back to a script source and remove model-generated stray text, template leftovers, and duplicate bubbles. Record the panel, dialogue ID, and reason for each misreading; after a fix, reread neighboring panels rather than checking only the changed tail. Do not present an internal review as reader-test results or claim a recognition rate without actual testing.
Check again at publication size
At the final mobile long-image, single-page, or page-turn size, check bubble text, tails, and panel spacing, especially platform cropping and thumbnail previews. Legibility when zoomed in does not guarantee that a speaker is clear at normal reading distance; high resolution cannot fix the wrong order. Keep the approved script, dialogue map, editable lettering, image version, and final export. When translating, reletter and recheck order. Do not replace the words and assume that changed text length will not shift bubbles or cover characters.
