Comictastic - dedicted comics reader for the Mac

ComictasticIf you're a fan of comics - both the old-school syndicated ones that appear in your local newspaper and the newschool web based comics - you may find it useful to have a dedicated reader for them. And Comictastic may well be the best tool for the job.

Not only can it help to keep your feed reader clear of the silliness of comics, Comictastic has some dedicated comic functionality that you won't find anywhere else.

For those comics that you would like to regularly read but don't have a super-convenient feed to subscribe to, Comictastic has a page scraping mechanism that will allow it to attempt to import each new comic image as it appears on the comic's site.
