ComicVerse vs TritonPanels Comic Book Reader

Read your comics free, with no ads and no subscription. ComicVerse is a comic reader for iPhone and iPad that works with your own server. Connect Komga, Kavita, Codex, Stump, Calibre-Web or any OPDS catalogue and read straight from your library, or open CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, PDF and EPUB files from your device. No account needed. And when you want to make your own, describe a scene and ComicVerse draws it. READING COMICS • Reading is free: no ads, no subscription, no account needed. Credits are only for making comics. • Komga, Kavita, Codex, Stump, Calibre-Web or any OPDS catalogue: browse and search your server, stream an issue straight away, or download it for somewhere with no signal. With Komga and Kavita, your place stays in step with the server. • CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, PDF and EPUB files, read properly: smooth page turns, a panel-by-panel mode that finds the panels for you, and a scrubber for skipping ahead. • Single page, continuous scroll or two-page spreads, and right-to-left for manga. • On iPhone Duo, open it up for two-page spreads. • Live Text lifts the lettering off a page, so you can copy a line, look a word up or translate a bubble. • Big files open quickly and stay that way. • Your library sorts itself into series, so issue 4 sits next to issue 3. • Bring in files from the Files app or from Dropbox. MAKING COMICS Say who's in it, where they are and what happens, and you get back a comic page: panels laid out, characters drawn, the words already sitting in the speech bubbles. The comics you make end up in the same library as the ones you read. • Write a scene, get a finished page back. Pick an art style if you have one in mind, or leave it and the app will choose something that suits the story. • Any page you don't like, rewrite and regenerate. You're never stuck with the first attempt. • Easier to show than explain? Sketch the layout on the canvas and generate from your sketch. • Put a cover and interior pages together as one issue. Your characters keep the same face throughout. • Export a finished comic and do what you like with it. WORTH KNOWING • On iPad you get a sidebar and a reader built for the bigger screen, not a stretched phone app. • The Home screen keeps track of what you've been reading and what you've been making. • Sign in with Apple and your place in every comic syncs between your iPhone and iPad, free. • Nib, our mascot, turns up here and there. Needs iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, on iPhone or iPad.
