Evaluation: Make Beliefs Comix is a quick and easy-to-use resource for creative writing exercises. While it requires some set-up time to learn how to use the tool and produce a comic strip, it can bolster creativity and storytelling. There are lots of features to choose from, however they are not customisable. Comic length is also limited to 18 panels, which should be enough for classroom activities. In addition to English, the site accepts characters and accent marks in Spanish, French, Latin, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more.
Cost: Free.
