Mcomix is a GTK+ Comic/Manga reader that provides all the features you might expect from a comic reader such as reading images directlty from ZIP, RAR, 7ZIP or TAR archives.
Mcomix was forked from the rather popular Comix after its development was stopped in late 2009.
Brief Feature Tour:
#Nautilus Integration
Mcomix comes with one particular useful feature which is Nautilus integration. To read a comic/manga file (be it a ZIP, RAR or even a 7ZIP file), all you have to do is right-click on the comic file and choose Mcomix from the tooltip menu:
#Advanced resizing modes
