Comic Life packs a lot of 'Brawn'!
Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.

"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.

The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.

"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.

We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.

Hypothesis - 2007/09/07 22:02 I had to stop working on this webcomic for a while, because Comic Life is just too slow on my old system, I was spending about 2/3 of my time waiting for it to update. (You'll understand if/when you start to design pages with a lot of elements, especially text elements.) Now further issues are on hold waiting for me to get a faster computer. It's rather ironic that I need to upgrade for Comic Life when I can still run the latest Photoshop just fine, but this is not a gripe -- I'm just telling you by way of explanation for why I haven't been updating lately. (BTW if any of the developers are reading -- give me a way to turn off the constantly-updating thumbnails and I will be able to continue my comic book right away.)

Here's the URL to the first of two issues so far...

Latoquod, thats a very creative comic, even the way it 'reveals'.

Was the extra processing done in photoshop?

Re:Hypothesis - 2008/01/02 09:20 Thanks, Keith!

Yes, I used Photoshop (Cutout and other tools) to prepare the photos before bringing them into Comic Life.
