Nudged by my interest in Poser’s cool new comic book mode, I decided it was time to catch up on the best of non-superhero speculative comics and graphic novels from recent years. So I went looking for an Android comic-book reader software that Google Play would deign to install on my older and under-powered tablet. <\/p>\n
After trying some of the better known .cbr readers (beware, there seems to be a lot of hype about mediocre apps), and having Google Play laugh scornfully at my puny tablet for others, I came across a powerful free Japanese reader. It’s really excellent, installs on older Android versions, and is in English. Its name is ComittoNxN<\/a> (scroll down the Google Play page a little, to see the link to the free version). (Update: is also on the Kindle Fire<\/a>)<\/p>\n Since my tablet is older, I’m thinking that some of higher-res .cbr comic book files will also need to be reduced in size. For that I found that the free desktop version of ComicRack has a powerful and well-hidden CBR shrinker<\/a> and converter.<\/p>\n Books I’ve either got hold of already, or plan to get in the future:<\/p>\n (Warning: there are various levels of spoilers at the other ends of these links…<\/em>)<\/p>\n Sci-fi…<\/p>\n Trillium<\/a>. Steampunk-ish, apparently…<\/p>\n Feathers<\/a>. And some macabre\/Lovecraftian…<\/p>\n Slaine: The Horned God<\/a>.

\nThe 2014 gamebook 80 Days<\/em> also looks fascinating, although sadly it won’t run on my older version of Android.<\/p>\n
\nFall of Cthulhu Omnibus<\/a>.
\nI may also look at some of the better older comics adaptations of R.E. Howard stories, such as the 1970s Savage Sword Of Conan<\/em> under writer Roy Thomas (to issue 60).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
