Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LightComics at 4.7 against SuperBookViewer's 3.0. LightComics also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 57%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). SuperBookViewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
