Pixton

Pixton is a web 2.0 tool that allows you to make a comic strip. The template is very easy to navigate and allows you to customize your character, background, and what they say however you want to. I liked Pixton much better than Zooburst, as I felt that it was much more simple while still allowing plenty of customizable options to make the finished product your own. If I needed to construct an online comic I would definitely think about using Pixton.
