Comic Life is great for sharing those funny little moments from school, in the office, or while on worldwide progressive-rock-legends tours.
Robert Fripp and Tony Levin have been sharing the day-to-day stories of touring within one of the most influential prog rock bands - on King Crimson’s 40th Anniversary Tour.

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.
Re:Welcome to Comic Life Magiq - 2008/05/09 03:14This is going to be one fun App! I absolutely love Comic Life and use it more than any other creativity App I own. Magiq looks to be another hit!
Kudos to the crew. Amazing interface and some really fun features!
I thought it would be integrated somehow with Comic Life, probably due to the naming of it. But it's a whole different animal.
Thanks!!! I'll add more intelligent feedback as I use it.
I don't like... - 2008/06/27 00:57I'm a raving fan of Comic Life and what it can do. I was really looking forward to the upgrade, and purchased it without even looking at the trial. A mistake.
The ease of use has diminished by 80%. I can't get the page size as large as the CL version without closing the speech bubble selection section. I HATE the light grey text (tiny) on the charcoal grey background. Whoever thought that was an improvement in easy of use was nuts. 'Cool' and trendy, but not better.
Same with the palette for tweaking images and the circular image change thingie. I can just feel the creative artist at work, but it just makes it harder to use. Actually, too hard. I've quit using this version.
Next round, give me a choice of the program background and text colors, add hints, and a choice of GUI (plain or fancy).
Re: John Tenny - 2008/06/27 14:10Hello there John,
Thanks very much for your comments.
We have tried to create something very unique and exciting with the interface with Comic Life Magiq. Some people love the new look - other people prefer the look of the previous version.
We are going to take all of this constructive feedback, and in the future do some improvements to the interface on our users feedback.
So thank you very much for your suggestions - we will definitely take those into consideration.

Re: John Tenny - 2008/06/28 02:08unlike John, I like this App. It takes a little time but it is worth it! One thing that John has to say ... The fonts are too vague. I have a Stroke. I don't read too well. I read by "text to speech". I wish you could get a video of Magic. Like http://www.lydna.com has.
