So that would just be the Broken Frontier Anthology (our first book) chosen to be part of the display representing the comics collection of the V&A at V&A East Storehouse (top row, second from the left). Neat recognition for both BF and all the contributors! (Photo courtesy of Mauricio Molizane)

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

I am going through my inbox at the moment and I'm embarrassed at the amount of things I missed or didn't reply to over the summer. To be fair I was going through some of the most traumatic months of my life but it's still not good enough that I didn't get back to some of you.

Hahahahahaha! Just spotted that someone asked for coverage for a gen AI "art" graphic novel at Broken Frontier last week and they're also offering the chance for readers to win NFTs (is it still 2021?). Oh, bless. Really did their homework before submitting that dreck to us.
