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.

What you get
Set the page structure before details compete for space.
Numbered cells make an accidental jump obvious before drawing.
Use consistent separation for normal beats and larger gaps for deliberate pauses.
Take the generated template into a vector or drawing app without a screenshot.
How it works
Use the smallest grid that holds the visible beats in your scene.
Pick the reading direction and enough separation to remain clear at final size.
Export the SVG, then resize individual panels only when the story needs emphasis.
