 Awesome Program! December 8, 2005

Have you ever wanted to make your own comic books? I sure have and Comic Book Creator makes it happen!
All of the best page layouts are right in the program so you can visualize what you want on the page right there. Talk about a great aid to storytelling.
Can't draw? Neither can I. Comic Book Creator comes with great art (and don't forget the booster packs)! You can also import art so your magnum opus will look just right.
And this program isn't just for making comic books from your favorite MMORPGs. I am putting together a brochure for my nonprofit animal rescue.
If you want to make comic books get this program.
 Very Good for The Price April 5, 2007

I bought this to use with family photos and threw together my first 5 page comic last night. It was fairly easy to use, but not perfect. Instructions are thin (read 'mostly nonexistant'); so it is best that you either have time on your hand OR a lot of experience using complex photo software.
GOOD: Simple once you get the hang of it. Plenty of fixed comic book panel formats to chose from and the drag-and-drop photo application makes life very easy. As long as you are OK with the formats provided, then putting family photos into a fun comic book format is incredibly easy. I received rave reviews from my first 'comic' and the finished product was of exceptional quality. The sofware has a nice assortment of boxes, call-outs and even some fun clip art. This was a great buy for the price.
NOT AS GOOD: The learning curve can be steep due to the quirky layout of controls. I guess this is not too bad of an issue since there are few controls provided with the software. The "dude" who wrote instructions was flippant at best (really annoying if you want to find a basic answer) and definitely not paid to produce a quality product. Downloading photos was tough until I found out the trick - after that, it is quite easy.
BAD: No photo editing software included. Simple things like rotating photos 90 degrees had to be done prior to loading into Comic Book Creator. The instructions and "Comic Book Wizard" are close to useless. Did I mention the controls? They are basic (good and bad) and poorly laid out (bad). There is no ability to truly customize panel layouts; so this software will not help out if you want something really creative. (Diagonals, overlays and more.)
All-in-all, this was an excellent buy for a software package under $20. I created a great storyboard format of some fun memories - bringing a great laugh (and a few "wows") to my family, grandparents and friends. Just be aware that there is a learning curve to get over before you hit the fun stuff. If the software was more expensive, then I would have given it 3 stars.

This program is phenomenal. It is a fantastic tool for anyone interested in comics, art, storyboarding, advertising, education. This thing runs the gauntlet and survives. It is everything I have been looking for and more. If you can use email you can use this product. Thank you Santa......!!!

Go to the company's website and check out their forums. There's nothing but problems with this program. I have it and I'me very dissatisfied. The layout and tools work very well, but when it comes to actually turning out a finished product in any format (jpg, pdf or bmp) I've have NO success. I've waited paitently through 3 versions of the program with no improvements in this area.
 Try the demo before you buy February 27, 2006

Pros: very easy to use
Cons: Very simplistic, few menu options, limited number of included images.
As an amateur Photoshop user, I found this software too limited to do anything useful. I downloaded the demo version from the manufacturer's web site, and tried to make a sample Sci-Fi comic page.
None of the included background images were even remotely useful. So I decided to skip the background and look for some clip-art characters to use. Again, there wasn't much of a selection.
If you've used Photoshop at all, CBC has very limited usefulness. If you're into designing your own online art, I would recommend Photoshop Elements 2.0 (~$100).
