Digital comics reader: any recommendations
Just thought I'd start his discussion up because my default ipad reader, Chunky, while great, hasn't been updated in like 5 years, and I'm always in fear that an ios update of some kind will kill it. Plus I remember years ago moving to a new computer and installing some CBZ reader that was mainly filled with adware.
So what do you guys use to read digital comics? Could be on ipad or android, on your phone, on your computer, etc. Any recommendations and/or reasons why you use what you do?
Both Humble Bundle and Fanatical have been really killing it with their recent comics bundles as well, so figured this would be a good starting point for a lot of people.

I mostly use DC Infinite and the Dark Horse reader, but for my bundle purchases I’ve used Panels recently. Haven’t really used it much though, so while it worked fine, there could be limits or shortcomings I’ve not encountered yet.

Isn't the Dark Horse reader now defunct as well?

BTW, despite the lack of updates, while it works Chunky (ipad only) is great:
Organizes comics by file name and groups them if the names match
You can upload your files to icloud/dropbox/google drive/etc. and download it as you want to (or download it straight from a website like humblebundle) Honestly this is the piece that I fear will break someday without updates
if you buy the add on you can download it from a shared drive, FTP, Calibure, Ubooquity/etc.
Supports most formats. It does only support pictures, though, so ebooks will only have the illustrations
I have a NAS setup with a shared drive and it's easy to keep the library there and download the comics I want to read
