For comics in .cbr/.cbz/.rar/.zip formats (as well as just collections of individual images in any format) Perfect Viewer is, well,
perfect on Android. It'll even let you add Windows network shares as a library folder so you don't have to copy all your comics over to your device.
On desktop I tend to use the Irfanview image viewer, but it won't load from an archive file. You have to extract the images from it first. I rarely read on the PC however, so I don't want a dedicated comic reader on it, and Irfanview is an excellent image viewer.

That is the first time I've seen them giving away free comics during one of the bundles, so there's no past precedent. However, this appears to be done by Dynamite Entertainment, the comics publisher, as this current bundle is partly a promo for Dynamite's
10th anniversary of comics book publishing. So we get to blame them for the PDF format. (The comics in the bundle come in multiple formats, with .cbz being listed as one of them as well as PDF.)
PDF is a crappy format for comic books (and books!) but hey, free is free.
