This is actually a review of GRAVIT.

Ivel long been looking for a replacement for Adobe Fireworks (long discontinued). I know that they have some sort of CC replacement, but I don't do a subscription model. The thing is, that I used Fireworks to finish off webcomics. The feature set of Fireworks was great for doing placement, panel division, and adding text and thought bubbles.

Illustrator (I have CS5 and CS6 version) was a bit of overkill, since most of the artwork was already done by the time it got to that stage. Photshop is always good for compisiting, but lacked making text balloons is more complicated. Maybe I should look at GRAVIT again. It's free!
