I use calibre for my comics too. I like the organization of calibre more than comicrack which is very confusing to me. If you import cbz to calibre, calibre is able to read metadata which is stored in the zip comment. If you use comickrack that is not the case there, comicrack writes the metadata in a xml file inside the zip. Fortunately there is a neat little program called comic tagger available for free. It can tag your comic automatically and it supports both ways of storing the metadata (i use both, I use the comicrack app on android and it reads the metadata).
So if you have tagged your comic already in comickrack, you just have to copy the metadata to the other format and then import into calibre. You may need to adjust the reading in calibre in the preferences. If you do not have the comicks tagged already, just use comic tagger to do it.
One problem with calibre is, that it reads comic metadat, but not writes it. So if you want the metadata in your files, first use comic tagger and then import into calibre.
