I’m a big fan of web 2.0 and how its capable of making life easier. I love comics but I don’t have the time to keep up with new releases. For years now I’ve stopped going to comic book stores and started using Amazon.com to find new reading material. Unfortunately, Amazon can be biased to what material I find. On comiXology all the big titles are fed when they are released and I can find new comics to read “pull them onto a list” or purchase right then and there.

Comic Rack for Windows, (soon Linux and Maybe Mac?)

Reading online comics is very convenient. However, there is nothing like the feeling of having a copy as your own. On occasion reading online gives me the feeling as if I'm just borrowing the material. Sometimes having a copy completes me as a readier and makes me feel as if I am a collector of fine works. Also, it sucks to unzip large mangas just to read it in a photo viewer.

Here steps in comic rack. A comicbook reader in the style of itunes or your favorite music manager. Except is reads only comics.This is an amazing software. I can read ebooks in the formats of .....and pdf (limited). The software is amazingly light and there are a million ways to customize the screen. There is even an option for reading right to left comics. Its beautiful. The most impressive thing about the software is the fact that it updates. Its a live software with a dedicated programmer. Right now, I have it running on windows XP and I cant wait until it comes out on Linux.
All I have to do is install that on my Eee pc and life is good with me and my manga's.

Best Free Graphics Software

Gimp - Platforms: Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS, Linux Distributions

Who uses it? Artist, Photographers and amateurs alike. The GIMP is an image editors that some have compared as an alternative to Photoshop then looking for an image editor. I've found myself using this program more and more because it loads so fast on my computer and has all the basic tools of Photoshop. I've used this to tone My comic Crystal Dream.

Inkscape - Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS, Linux Distributions

Who uses it? Artist, Engineers, Web designers,

Why use it? Its also free, plus its one of the most simple est vector editors out there to use. I also use this for my inking. The GUI is simple an uncluttered.

Paint net - Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS, Linux Distributions

Who uses it? Artist, Photographers and amatures alike.

Why use it? Many people find the GIMP overwhelming sometimes so they choose Paint.net as an alternative due to the fact the interface is similar to photoshop.

Art Rage- Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS

Who uses it? Artist

Why use it? The best thing about this program is its interface. Its very different yet quite relaxing to use. The program itself simulates natural painting. Currently it does not support watercolors but when you need a cheep to free (free does not have layer support) to Corel Painter this would be it. This is a wonderful program to open up to relax and draw. I loved it so much that I bought the full program, which is $25.00.

Art Weaver - Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS, Linux Distributions (Using Wine)

Who uses it? Artist, Photographers

Why use it? Similar to ArtRage however the interface looks more like Painter plus with the support of layers for free.

Google SketchUp - Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS, Linux Distributions

Who uses it? Artist, Engineers, and Drafters

Why use it? Compared to similar looking CAD software this is the easyest to use and requires less resources on you computer. The free version is limited comparted to the full on for about 300 UDS. However, I hear the full version is free for students. Awesome.
