YES!!! Thank you for the recommendation, I don't know why I missed this app. I tried a number of comic book apps and all were very disappointing, not in terms of the apps themselves (though they do have a tendency to instability), but in terms of content. The only one I found with content that interests me is the DC Comics app, but by definition it is limited to that publisher. They do have some good free content though, so I'll probably keep that one and delete all the other apps except for Comics.
I like the interface, it's clean and it works, though I don't think anything can "solve the problem of reading comics on a small screen". A comic book page is designed as a whole and is best viewed as a whole. But Comics has options to display the whole page at the end and/or beginning of a page, when you are reading cell by cell. It's not perfect but it works.
But the best thing is the content, or at least that's my first impression, I hope it will last. I just downloaded a free sample of Hellboy, read it and then bought the whole first volume. And I see there are some DC comics too. I need to explore the catalog, but so far it looks good.
