Good plugin, disappointing theme.

The companion plugin itself is a cool solution to webcomics on wordpress that I had high hopes for. The plugin works and has a ton of helpful options. I especially like the compatibility with the newer comic formats as well as the more traditional ones as well as the ability to have multiple series running on one site.

However, the theme required to make the companion work is a deal-breaker. The theme isn’t particularly flexible and is locked in to a few preset layouts with limited ability to adjust things – especially regarding comic navigation. If this were to be released as a standalone plugin without needing to tie into a specific theme I’d swap in a heartbeat. Until then, I’ll stick with other options.
