ComicPress Manager is apparently incompatible with the newest verison of WordPress. WebComic & InkBlot users should be aware that all versions (even the original releases) should be fully compatible with WordPress 2.8. If you’re a WebComic & InkBlot fan and know people that still use ComicPress try politely recommending they give WCIB a chance. ^_^

Comic Publishing Power
Stop hacking WordPress and start using it. WebComic's simple configuration, library management, chapter organization and new template tags for WordPress themes give you the power to take control of your comic and your site to make it exactly what you want.
Multi-Comic Support
One comic not enough? WebComic can manage any number of webcomics on a single WordPress site; just select two or more Comic Categories and WebComic takes care of the rest. And if that weren't enough, you can load entirely separate WordPress themes for different comic series.
Integrated Transcribing
Say goodbye to ohnorobot. WebComic's fully-integrated transcription system provides automatic indexing of published transcripts for site searches, the ability to request improvement of transcripts from users, and allow users to submit new transcripts.
Chapter Organization
Take control of your storylines. WebComic's Chapter system utilizes the WordPress Taxonomy API to provide an entirely new, independent method of organizing comic posts that doesn't interfere with post categories and tags. Use all three to create infinitely complext storylines.
Library Management
Config files? Dates in filenames? Not here. WebComic provides a simple configuration page and robust but easy-to-use comic management right through WordPress. Name your comics whatever you want, automatically generate posts for orphaned comics, and more.
Internationalization Support
The world is a big place, and WebComic understands that. It might even speak your lanuage. If it doesn't, though, that's alright. WebComic utilizes WordPress' I18n functions for localization, allowing it to be fully translated into a language near you.

Creating or editing WordPress themes not your thing? InkBlot has you covered. As the first theme designed to work with and completely utilize all of the features WebComic offers InkBlot takes all the hassle out of building a site and lets you get to business.
One Theme, Hundreds of Layouts
One column, two columns, or three columns? With InkBlot you don't have to be picky. It's sophisted, dynamic design allows you to change your site layout on-the-fly, adjusting the size, number, and position of page elements based on your specifications.
Simple Customization
Power doesn't always come at a price. InkBlot's simple customization page allows you to easily adjust a number of options, including the entire site layout, how comics are displayed and navigated, how archive pages are organized and displayed, and more.
Advanced Framework
InkBlot isn't just a theme, it's a theme framework. You can customize, build upon, and rework everything in InkBlot using child themes, allowing you to leave InkBlto itself alone. You'll always know what files you've modified and upgrading is a breeze.
Web Standards Compliant
InkBlot makes no concessions to WordPress' focus on aesthetics, web standards, or usability. Designed using semantic XHTML Strict and CSS with a tiny bit of jQuery thrown in for good measure you have a solid foundation to build a truly robust webcomic site.
Internationlization Support
English your second (or third, or fourth) language? Don't panic; InkBlot knows no boundaries when it comes to language. InkBlot fully utilizes WordPress' I18n functions for localization. If it isn't already available in your language it can be translated into it.
I’ve been using comicpress for a long time now, but webcomic and inkblot are a definite step up, the integration with wordpress is seamless and all the features you could ask for are provided.
It works, supports well theme modifications and nice support on the forum :-)
With WebComic and InkBlot I was able to move over all of my comics over to one WordPress site with ease. And when I did run into snags the WebComic forums offer excellent support.
While I have only been using Webcomic & Inkblot for a short time, (my site is only a few weeks old) they have been great. It is easy to modify Inkblot, and maintaining a comic in Webcomic is a cinch
WebComic and InkBlot together make publishing a webcomic so very easy!
I had previously used a home-grown PHP-MySQL system for displaying my webcomics. Maintenance of the codebase was a pain and I soon got tired of it! I wanted to use WordpressMu so that I could host many, many webcomics on one install… but Comicpress simply wouldn’t work right with it.
I found Webcomic and Inkblot, and within 1 hour I had duplicated my previous site template as an Inkblot sub-theme and was posting comics with Webcomic. Excellent code and excellent support on the forum. My site is up and running, and I’m happy!
These unique bomic bookmark buttons from La BD en ligne de Li-An are a great example of little customizations that can make a site truly unique.
