The Love For The Page

by taoski on September 22, 2006

I went to my local library recently and borrowed some graphic novels I had not seen before.  A Hellblazer special and one called The Preacher.  They were ok.  The Preacher was not too bad and John Constantine in the Hellblazer story was as nasty, grumpy and evil as usual (not at all like the pathetic Constantine movie with Keanu in) - but what it did do was make me get up my ladder into my loft at 11pm last night to bring down my comic collection.  I also have several comics I have downloaded from the internet and read on my laptop.

Since switching to a Mac I decided to see if there were any comic reading applications.  Following closely on the heels of the Delicious Library comes the ComicBookLover application - and it’s ace!
It handles CBZ and CBR formatted comics as well as the usual JPG and PDF formats.  This application is like iTunes for comics and is really good, with a built in reader and thumbnail preview of each comic you have.  Click the thumb for a biggie pic!

Very cool indeed.

The Preacher is a great story you should find some more of them.
