Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MangaVision at Free against ComicViewer 2's $0.99. MangaVision also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). ComicViewer 2's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 0%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support there is nothing between them.
