Comic Rack for Windows, (soon Linux and Maybe Mac?)

Reading online comics is very convenient. However, there is nothing like the feeling of having a copy as your own. On occasion reading online gives me the feeling as if I'm just borrowing the material. Sometimes having a copy completes me as a readier and makes me feel as if I am a collector of fine works. Also, it sucks to unzip large mangas just to read it in a photo viewer.

Here steps in comic rack. A comicbook reader in the style of itunes or your favorite music manager. Except is reads only comics.This is an amazing software. I can read ebooks in the formats of .....and pdf (limited). The software is amazingly light and there are a million ways to customize the screen. There is even an option for reading right to left comics. Its beautiful. The most impressive thing about the software is the fact that it updates. Its a live software with a dedicated programmer. Right now, I have it running on windows XP and I cant wait until it comes out on Linux.
All I have to do is install that on my Eee pc and life is good with me and my manga's.

My Comic Process: Sketch 1

Next thing I do is I sketch. I find no difference in sketching on paper vs computer however in this case I don't have a scanner big enough to make scanning a large 2 page easy so I do it on the computer.

Jack Frost Updates Again!

Jack Frost © JinHo Ko /HAKSAN PUBLISHING

Summary

Jack Frost follows the story of Junoa, the new student at the creepy Amityville High School. Things start off rather poorly for Junoa as she quickly comes to realize that the school is not as it appears. Caught in an interschool war between Vampires, Monsters and other things that go bump in the night, she must quickly learn what her new role is, as the "mirror image," and how to handle the mysterious Jack Frost. - One Manga

Reviews

The guys at Meep scans have been going all out on the jack frost updates.

A ton of chapters have been released! I have to say i like this volume.

So far what i am happy the female eye candy has been toned down. (its still there, i never really understood why manga/manwha/comics always has to degrade females so much.) Moving on, i have to say the action sequences are amazingly well done. usually when i look at some action sequential pages the movements are confusing. It becomes hard to understand what is going on. In Jack Frost's case its good that it isn't like that. There is a perfect flow the fight scenes are the best part of this mahnwa.

On plot development, it is moving along modestly, not too slow and not too fast but it could be a bit better. I still don't know much about the characters at all or the antagonist other than the fact that The mirror image and Jack are connected somehow. In the new and upcoming chapters I'm hoping to see more interaction between jack and the mirror image so i can get some insight of what that connection is.

Based on the overall quality of the scantilations I would defiantly buy the print version. Which will most likely happen due to Meeps decision to stop releasing scans (see this post)

However, there might be another group who will be taking up the project. Hopefully they will be just as good as Meep.
