Looking for detailed setup guides, configuration tables, or workflow deep dives? Check out our comprehensive documentation manual:
Analyzing comic pages with deep learning neural networks can be computationally heavy for low-power home servers or Raspberry Pis. Comics Now! natively integrates with Modal to offload panel and speech bubble detection to cloud NVIDIA T4 GPUs in ~1–2 seconds per batch.
Modal provides $30.00 of free recurring compute credits every calendar month to every user account (enough to process 30,000+ comic pages for free).
To guarantee you are never billed beyond the free tier:
$30.00.[!WARNING] User Responsibility & Billing Safeguards: It is strictly your responsibility to configure your spending limits in your Modal account dashboard and monitor your usage. Comics Now! provides automated budget monitoring and safe fallbacks to local CPU, but cannot control third-party billing accounts or guarantee that third-party services will not bill you if you choose not to set a spend limit or configure a higher limit.

For massive multi-title crossover events (Crisis on Infinite Earths, Absolute Universe, Infinity Gauntlet), Comics Now! features an interactive Continuity DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) view:
