Hi

@DEWLine and thanks @walt.farrell

The 'Comic Book Toolkit' is not yet complete....it has evolved into something large!😀 .. I haven't decided what to do with it. Oddly I was working on it yesterday as I wanted to participate in a small way to the 'Comic Art' feature on Artstation this week (7-11 August). 
I have so far only released 'snippets' of the Toolkit. Some Palettes | updates to associated brush sets (PB 19) | Seamless Dot Pattern Assets

Is it the whole toolkit you are interesting on or a particular aspect?

I believe the original template idea is during and post version 2 release. So most of the assets | brushes | Palettes etc will almost certainly be V2 upwards. But I doubt that means they cannot be available for V1 use. (I hadn't really considered going backwards!). I am sure the assets etc can be used but maybe the Master Template would cause issues. I have not written up the process yet. Which is something else I will have to consider. 

Most of the vector assets should be backward compatible!.
Most of what is described | highlighted in the 'Comic Toolkit' thread are vector objects. The assets needed to be scalable as you ultimately have to consider different page sizes. The template at the moment is just A4. The assets can be adjusted for any physical size (within reason). This includes the grunge page borders. I did intent to extend these to the panels and tiers!.

There are additional features and tools added to 2.1, 2.2 that also needed to be taken into consideration (such as the asset to colour swatch; style picker; knife tool; warp)
 

I wanted to create a 'Template/s' that are extremely flexible, rather than just have a template that is populated by generic content. In essence in this one. The Panels, Tiers and Pages will allow a lot of variation. This allows each page to be unique in the Master document. The masks are the controlling elements with the option being creative within the panels underneath. The Template itself also encompasses all three apps. I created sketching templates (AD).(layout templates AD + APu) and a lot of supporting assets to increase the flexibility.

Obviously with the changes made to assets and linking All of this can be available to all 3 apps at the same time  Also looked at how CPS worked and compared | mimicked process in Designer. Had an issue yesterday with the template in Publisher. In that I could not see an easy way of exporting similar to the Export Persona in Designer with rescaling for site upload (page exports were >10mb on export) So found you can get around it by creating separate artboards in Designer (placing the file and selecting the required page) and importing the Publisher file back. Then you get access to slices.

I think I have finished with supporting brush sets | Text/dialogue toolkits but still working on extending some aspects like panels | tiers | palettes etc. The Ink Blocker Brush  Set is the latest. Needed it to create the Text Dialogue Toolkit. (grunge raster ink blocks that could be converted to vector! in inkscape) 

After the Cheltenham Paint Festival been a bit distracted with building a 'Graffiti Toolkit' however that's just another project!😀.. But I have sourced some very interesting Palettes! which are free! which could be included here. Still working on the Palettes DC Comic 1982 is available in resources but Marvel colours been more difficult (As I have not found one...made my own though!)

Yeah!😀 very.. Thanks.. maybe why I have not been on Forum much... but still caught up with some of it today. Did not know where to put the speed inkers!..
Still a lot to do on the Wall project.. Lots more assets. Lots of wall patterns to do for assets. + There might be another brush set! + vector Assets from file to sort + would like to do another large  vector backing wall with different bricks

Comic Book template is not quite finished and 'Untamed' needs my attention!🙃

On a positive note the new tools in V2 are just great.. really helping speed things up (a bit!) My favs are
The Vector Flood tool is fantastic for adding colours to bricks..
The Knife Tool
The Style Picker.. this is just great!
The naming changes to layers.
