The download comes as a standalone package, so you don’t even need to install anything, though you might want to associate some of the more common comic file types with MComix soon after trying it out. The reader supports double-page views to best emulate comic reading, and a right-to-left mode for those who prefer manga to western-style comics. The reading view makes it easy to find your page with thumbnails along the left side, and various fit modes along with a full screen view are handy in both button and hotkey flavors. The interface has a basic library function, but it’s easier to simply open your files (CBR, CBZ, and PDF, among more pedestrian image formats) directly from your computer’s file explorer. If it had a macOS version, we might just be able to end this article right here. It’s free and open source, based on the older and now abandoned Comix reader project, regularly updated for Windows and Linux.

If you’re looking for a simple, easy-to-use comic reader with enough features to give you some extra bells and whistles, MComix should probably be your first stop.
