"Does exactly what I needed it to do!"
Version: Comic Life 2.2
Pros
Pros: Easy to use
Able to adjust a lot of variables
Very compatible with other Mac Programs
Can export to a lot of different types of filesCons
Cons: $30 for a very specific use program (but I think I'll use it a lot more in the future...)
Summary
I purchased this app immediately after using it through the trial version. I was doing a video project with Final Cut X and needed an app that could convert a screen shot to a comic book pane. I don't have photo editors loaded on my Mac, so this was one of the only options that was a stand-alone photo to comic converter. It works great and it perfectly accomplished the job I needed. After I finished the video project, I wound up using it for the DVD insert and I can see how it would be easy to do a lot more projects with it, although they might all be similarly themed. No regrets purchasing this.

"Easy enough to be fun"
Version: Comic Life 2.0.4
Pros
Easy, but with plenty of options.
Cons
None found so far
Summary
It a pleasure to find a creative program that lets even novices enjoy enhancing their work. I'm neither a techie nor seriously into graphics, but it's fun to create a collage or add some personality to a picture.

"Very easy to use. graphics importing is fast and simple"
Version: Comic Life 1.5.2
Pros
Ease of use. It is a good supplemental program if you use Print Shop to create cards and other documents.

Some limits on number of templates and extras available

The software does what it says it does with ease and versatility. A good idea, well executed.

"Does all it says it does."
Version: Comic Life 1.5.2
Pros
Easy to use. Lots of imaginative starter templates. Drag and Drop or connect to photo databases - easy.
Cons
None, from my point of view.
Summary
This program is entirely intuitive. I don't think I've ever read the instructions. Having lots of templates, caption styles and shape styles, Comic Life makes it quick and easy to construct cartoons, comics and other visual media. I find this application most useful to construct special occasion cards or photo packages to email to family, friends and colleagues.

"Very good, indeed..."
Version: Comic Life 1.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I went back to Comic Life upon a re-installation of Tiger - and it worked properly. There had been, most likely, a conflict with other programs installed to result in erratic enough a behaviour for my earlier comment.
I am actually very satisfied with Comic Life (with a very slight reservation for its relatively strenuous use of processor resources in older computers); even under Leopard this excellent program runs very well, indeed.
I like to apologise to the developers for the abrupt nature of my reference to the program.
All-in-all, an excellent program, and quite singular.
