Reading digital comics on your desktop is easy with the right tool, and the best help you organize and enjoy your comic collection. Last week we asked you for your favorites, then looked at the five best desktop comic book readers. Now we're back to highlight your favorite overall.
for Windows took the top spot, thanks to its rich library management features and its great reading tools, all bundled together into a great, free, lightweight comic book reader. It took away over 60% of the overall vote, and soared to first place.
Hot on its heels in second however was the equally free and equally lightweight SimpleComic for OS X, an open-source comic book reader that's speedy and simple, without a ton of unnecessary frills. It picked up close to 18% of the votes cast. Third place went to MComix , an updated fork of the now-abandoned Comix project for Windows and Linux, also open-source and also free. It earned just shy of 10% of the votes cast. Astonishing Comic Reader , a Chrome extension and Windows 8 app with a companion Android app to boot, took fourth place with over 6% of the vote. MangaMeeya , an old Windows reader that hasn't been updated in a while but is still well-loved by its users, brought up the rear in fifth with close to 6%, trailing fourth place by only a couple of votes.
To read more about each of these and the honorable mentions not listed here, make sure to head back to the full Hive Five feature to read more.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
