The ComIQA Challenge is a benchmark competition designed to evaluate how well AI models understand comics. Unlike traditional visual question answering (VQA) tasks focused on static images or structured documents, ComIQA introduces a multi-page, multimodal reasoning challenge, requiring models to integrate textual and visual information across sequential narratives. Comics combine storytelling, abstract visual cues, and implicit contextual transitions, making them an ideal testbed for advancing vision-language models.
ComIQA details wil be soon published here: STAY TUNED!
