Depends on publisher, release date and all that though for exact resolution.
It has been a while since I tested KCC, so had to check. KCC produces a kepub that is one page/image per file. That means it will render each page separately. Which will probably mean slower page turning but should be consistent throughout the book. It also resizes the images for the screen size. That should reduce CPU and memory usage.

I haven't had a good look at what comics and manga that Kobo has in the store, so I don't know how they are constructed. Do have free manga to look at? Or a suggestion for one that I can at least look at the preview.
