The workflow stays reviewable
ComicWave keeps the comic panel grid plan, generated panels and lettering as separate stages. You can review the structure before drawing and replace one weak result without discarding accepted work.

How it works
01
Choose a page preset
Start with the smallest structure that holds the visible beats in your scene.
02
Split and check flow
Divide selected panels, use diagonal edges sparingly and verify the numbered reading path.
03
Download and adapt
Export SVG, PNG or JSON, then continue with artwork and lettering in your preferred editor.
