Digital comics are more popular than ever, especially with giant companies like dc and marvel jumping on the digital bandwagon. many readers also prefer digital comics, thanks to the ease of buying titles and getting them instantly, plus the fact that digital comics are easier on the eyes and don’t fill endless shelves.
This means that there are also many comic e-readers on the market now, but what are the best free comic reader apps?

We take a look at our top five comic book readers:
comicrack (android, ios, windows)
Of all the comic reading apps, comicrack is probably our favorite. Not only does it come packed with features, including the ability to put comics into collections, compress them into a cbz file, and export them to other devices, but comicrack even lets you sync your comic library so you can go from device to device and start blasting. read from where you left off.
comicrack also has quick navigation, auto-scroll, auto-rotate, and even a manga mode. Do you have trouble reading your comics? You can also change the color and sharpness of each comic page as you read.
perfect viewer (android)

Although perfect viewer is only available for android devices, it is also one of the fastest comic readers on the market. there is very little delay when loading new pages, so turning pages in the app becomes faster than if you had a physical book in hand. the perfect viewer also comes with an almost overwhelming list of features, including five view modes: pinch & zoom functionality, bookmarks, next and previous page caching, globe magnifier and more.
However, there is a downside to such a feature-rich app: it takes a bit of a learning curve to get used to, and most users will likely rarely use all of the available features. however, the perfect viewer is still aptly named because of the features that make it, well, perfect.
simple comic (mac)
Actually, there aren’t many good comic readers available for mac, but Simple Comic bucks the trend by offering a simple interface perfect for reading all your favorite titles. There aren’t many features, but that’s the point: this app is strictly for reading comics. however, you can still choose your page layout (do you want to see one page at a time or two?), scale pages, rotate pages, have multiple reading sessions, use auto bookmarks, and see a thumbnail page preview full screen.
rock manga (ios, android)
If you like Japanese comics, also known as manga, you’ll need a good application to read manga. And that’s where manga rock comes in. It is not only an application that reads manga well, but also houses a collection of more than 50,000 manga comics in seven different languages. search what you want, download it and read it. While reading, you can take advantage of the app’s many features, including reading modes, zoom, brightness control, and reading direction (in case you like to read Japanese-style text).
comixology (ios, android, windows)
While it’s certainly not our top pick for comic reading apps, it can’t deny the huge selection of comics (50,000+ titles and growing) that Comixology brings to the table. It’s also relatively easy to download a comic and start reading right away, though if you’re looking for something in particular through the comixology app, you might have some trouble finding it.

however, searching the comixology website is better, and when you find what you’re looking for, you can buy it and download it to your devices. the app offers in-app purchases of titles as well as a guided view (we especially like looking at comics panel by panel).
There are also digital firsts and comics you can’t find anywhere else. and that, along with their great selection, is why comixology makes our list.
