Comic Life 1.5

Comic Life is a comic book tool.

Comic Life is a application that will help you create your own comic book. The only things you need are photos and imagination. The rest will come by itself.

Comic Life is very easy to use, just drag and drop anything. You can customize anything, from writing to background. Every option includes a pictogram so you won't get lost in words.

In my test I created a real life story, with photos and comments, nice and colorful. Not like a real comic book, but you get a similar feeling. You have the work document in the middle, pages on the left, writing options underneath and the most used buttons above. Layout templates, photos, page attributes, style attributes, and more on the right. There are also sounds available. You can hear them when you stretch, move or use something. The sounds aren't annoying so I kept them.

It will automatically check your photo library for the photos you want, or just snap one quickly with the iSight button.I also found photo effects to be quite useful in building my comic book.

In the 'preferences' pane you can find even more options for editing: for example, "format page" which means you can chose CD photo, Comic Book style, HD Video 1080i to custom size. There are 'also orientation in portrait or landscape', 'stylesheets', 'WYSISWG' (what you see is what you get), 'play sounds' options.

If you are happy with your just created comic book, you can save, print, e-mail, or export it to iWeb with just a click. Everything in this application is well thought and described for easy handling.

Pluses: easy to use great in creating comic books.

Drawbacks / flaws: none.

In conclusion: There are times when life looks like a comic book, or movie. Now there's a way for you to make your own comic book.
