On this rather grey Friday (yes you guessed it - I live in England!) I thought I would share some exciting news that will be sure to brighten up your day and keep you entertained all weekend – Version 2.0 of the super cool, and award-winning app, Comics Creator, has now hit the Ovi Store. The new version boasts even more crazy characters, editing tools, backgrounds and props. It also has an even better UI than before and has been made even easier to use than last time.

We reviewed Comics Creator back in Sept. 2010 and we really loved the concept of being able to bring all of our crazy imaginations to life in a real comic strip. In fact, it was a winner in last year’s global Calling All Innovators contest.

What makes this clever app so accessible is that you don’t need be an artist to create something that looks truly professional. With a wide array of pre-set images and props you can create something visually appealing within minutes.

Comics Creator has been created by Nextwave Multimedia and is in Ovi Store for free. It is compatible with both Symbian OS, S60 5.0 devices and Nokia’s new Symbian devices like the Nokia N8.

If this is the first you have heard of Comics Creator, then you need to check out the video of the app in our review of the first release. Essentially the app hasn’t changed so you will still be able to see what the app is all about and how it works. Alternatively, just download the app and have a look for yourself - it is free after all!

Comics Creator V2.0 is available for download in Ovi Store.
