Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fan Fusion at 67% against Official Comic's 18%. Fan Fusion also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (3.4 vs 3.1). Official Comic's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (459 vs 18). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
