Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Eclipse at 4.6 against ComicDeck's 1.0. Eclipse also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). ComicDeck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
