What's It About?

In SUPERHERO COMIC BOOK MAKER - BY DUCK DUCK MOOSE, kids choose from many different background scenes, characters, colors, and even sound effects to create stories. Kids can also color ready-made templates to use as story backgrounds. They can change the orientation and size of the stickers and even write and draw directly onto the scene. When they finish designing and setting up the scene, kids can record sticker movements and audio by tapping the record button. As they move the stickers around to illustrate plot points, the app records the story for playback or sharing later.

Like with other apps by Duck Duck Moose, Superhero Comic Book Maker is an attractive and engaging app for kids. While there's not much in the way of instruction, feedback, or prompts about storytelling, it's very kid-friendly and intuitive to use. It leaves the creating to the kids -- and there's plenty to be had with the variety of objects, scenes, racially diverse characters, and more to choose from.

Some kids may need more guidance than others in terms of coming up with a story, but there's lots to inspire kids, including stickers with "Pow!" or "Wham!" that can be inserted old-school Batman style. However, apart from those few stickers, there aren't many features that highlight the comic book style, which may not suit those looking for a true comic book maker. Still, Monsters vs Superheroes will satisfy kids looking to explore storytelling and create original tales about monsters and superheroes.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
