I've found that I can manually make a CBZ file from a comic source EPUB by just yanking the "Images" directory out of the extracted EPUB, zipping it up, and renaming it to a .CBZ extension. This is trivial to do, but quite time-consuming.
Has anyone created a plugin/conversion option that would let me do this within Calibre? I am sure this might result in some missing metadata, but I did try googling around, and as far as I'm aware there is no established "standard" for CBR/CBZ files for metadata files, etc. It looks like it's literally just a Zip Archive or RAR Archive of images, with the first chronologically-named image serving as the comic's cover.
If I'm wrong on this front, I'd appreciate any info about the CBR/CBZ standard.

Play around with
Embed Comic Metadata.
I have no idea if it does what you want, but it can do things that are not implied by either the name, or description.
