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.

Bugs - 2007/05/29 09:23Could you give us some info as to best help you in the debugging process? I don't want to give you useless information or report bugs you are aware of. Today I had a "Debug Assertion Failed" error when attempting to save and although I could choose "ignore" and keep working I could not save. The Line reported was 311. I also had another error reporting Line 1056 with a crash but I'm not sure what I was doing. if you could give me an idea of how to best be a good beta tester I'll try to follow your protocol whenever I have errors or crashes.
From having reported several bugs, the BEST thing you could do is to figure out how to repeat it. This gets to be difficult because in some cases you may not remember exactly what series of steps led you to the crash. It may sound silly, but in some instances, I keep a log of what I'm doing to create a document. Then, after a crash, I try going through those steps again (with the same images) and see if it recurs. In some cases, you'll keep a useless log because it won't crash. But, when it DOES crash, you'll be a long way towards being able to possibly recreate it.
If you can't reproduce it, then the line number and in some cases the crash dump file that is created is next in line of helpfulness.
Re:Bugs - 2007/06/02 01:24Thanks KeynoteKen for that great response.
Just to confirm, that is the kind of information we are after. So in point form:
1. Reproducible steps to recreate the bug. 2. Screenshots are useful in showing the bug or error messages 3. Crash.dmp files (located in Comic Life folder) please send if Comic Life crashes 4. System specs 5. Favorite color 6. Send all info to clwinbeta@plasq.com or post on the forums.
