One of the coolest things we saw at E3 this year wasn't even a game. At the Sony Online Entertainment booth, we saw an app called Comic Book Creator, which SOE has licensed for use with Everquest II and Planetside. Created by Planetwide Games, the program lets you take screenshots in games such as EQII and import them into the Comic Book Creator program. From there, you slot the screenshots (or any imported JPEG image) into preformatted blank comic book pages, add word balloons and clip art, and create your own custom comic book.
Your creations can be published as PDF or JPEG files, or the program can create finished HTML pages you can post online. SOE Comic Book Creator is currently available for $35 at the Sony Station Web site.
