ComicVerse: CBR & CBZ Reader

Describe a scene, get a comic page back — panels, characters and speech bubbles drawn for you. Now with a notification when your pages are ready.

You describe a scene. ComicVerse draws it.

Say who's in it, where they are and what happens, and you get back a comic page: panels laid out, characters drawn, the words already sitting in the speech bubbles. If a page comes back wrong, change what you told it and run that page again. Do a few of those and you have an issue.

The comics you make end up in the same library as the ones you read.

MAKING COMICS

• Write a scene, get a finished page back. Pick an art style if you have one in mind, or leave it and the app will choose something that suits the story. • Any page you don't like, rewrite and regenerate. You're never stuck with the first attempt. • Easier to show than explain? Sketch the layout on the canvas and generate from your sketch. • Put a cover and interior pages together as one issue. Your characters keep the same face throughout. • Export a finished comic and do what you like with it.

READING COMICS

• CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, PDF and EPUB files, read properly: smooth page turns, a panel-by-panel mode that finds the panels for you, and a scrubber for skipping ahead. • Big files open quickly and stay that way. • Your library sorts itself into series, so issue 4 sits next to issue 3. • Point it at an OPDS server and read straight from there, or download first for somewhere with no signal. • Bring in files from the Files app or from Dropbox.

WORTH KNOWING

• On iPad you get a sidebar and a reader built for the bigger screen, not a stretched phone app. • The Home screen keeps track of what you've been reading and what you've been making. • Sign in with Apple and your place in every comic follows you between devices. • Nib, our mascot, turns up here and there.

Needs iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, on iPhone or iPad.
