Another day, another chapter. Anyway, enjoy.

When talking to a fan of Kokou no Hito recently, I was disturbed to find out that he unzips/unrars the releases and views the images in windows picture and fax viewer. With that said I wanted to take a second to mention 2 pc only comic reading apps that I’m surprised some are unaware of.

The first is ComicRack

The second I want to mention is CdisplayEX, which I’m sure more of you are familiar with.

CDisplayEx is a Comic reader based on CDisplay. It use the popular 7-zip plugins to read many archives types like cbr cbz cbt rar zip tar 7z lzh arj cab tar.gz tar.bz2. It supports jpeg png gif and bmp images.

I use ComicRack as my main reader and cdisplay for quick viewing. ComicRack also supports viewing web comics within the program. With either of these apps no unzipping/uraring is required. So if you get a chance try 1 or both of these programs.
