Comic Book Creator 2.0 has a ton of stuff for those of us who want to put together our projects. But it has one huge flaw...

its Activation Key expires after 3 install uses. So if you have to reinstall, and you probably will, the database seems to trunch itself every so often, causing you to either constantly repath every folder each time you want to find something, or reinstall to fix it, after the third time, your lovely Activation Key... no longer registers through their servers. There are a lot of ways they could have done this to prevent pirating or people using your key too much, but they took the low road and after 3 installiations and registrations with that Key, your $40 software from Planet Wide Media is worthless.

If this thing hadn't been given to me as a gift, I would be all over them like flies to.. you know... but it's not worth it now.

Anyone who buys this product, BE WARNED! 3 Registrations with that Key, and you'll be REBUYING this just to use it again! They don't give replacement Keys out for free, they charge 39.99 for a new one! No Exceptions!

If I was only rating this product in terms of its versatility, intuitiveness and overall quality, it would score a perfect 5 for sure.

But then, if I rated it based only on customer service, it would earn a 1, and even then, I would prefer to give it a zero.

It is infuriating and inexcusable that the activation key expires so quickly, and that one must pay such an absurdly hefty fee for a new one.

I used CBC 2.0 happily for several months and endorsed it readily, but no more. I will have to find some alternative software, and in the meantime, I will advise everyone to steer clear.

My only real complaint with this software for the price is that it requires an Internet connection to activate every time you install it. The basic functionality to make comics is there and it doesn't cost much. Other, more expensive, art programs are probably a better choice for professionals.

I've used the download of this product before and had a blast making photo comics. Unfortunately, the creator appears to no longer support the product, and seems to have no interest in selling licenses to users with the trial download.

As for the Amazon seller offering this new, CBC 2 originally cost only $29.99... NOT $69.99! Trying to sell it for that much is nothing more than a shameless attempt to rip someone off with a product which no longer works as it should.

I purchased the original comic book creator for the retail price and the box said it was windows compatible when I attempted to install the software on my Windows Vista machine I got a pop up window stating that it was not compatible with Vista. I called there customer support people and they said that it should run in compatibility mode and the guy walked me through how to set it up. This still did not work and I was told they would probably come out with a patch so the software would work. I called the company weekly to check on a patch and was finally told that the product was not compatible with Windows Vista and that it would not be patched because a new version of the product was forth coming.


Waste of some hard earned $$$ and who knows when the next version of windows comes out they will probably quit supporting this product too

I purchased the comic book creator 2 and have been very pleased with it. It has done everything that I hoped it would.
