I really loved getting to read daily comics on webOS with Comics HD. I only see comic book readers when doing a search for something similar on Android. Has anyone seen an app than works in the same manner by allowing you to read comic strips?

I use an app called 'comic strips '. I got from market (play, now), but I couldn't find it now. It's version 1.7,maybe a google search will turn it up. If you can't find it, post again and I'll put it in Dropbox or something and send you the link.

One issue is that many of the comics aren't licensed to be viewed from an app... In many cases the original artists or publishers find out and shut down the apps, because they're basically being stolen from. Don't know if Comics HD is licensed, or just "flying under the radar" as it were...

But the best way due to that is to add the RSS feeds to google reader and use the Google Reader app.

Yea, that's what i'm using now. It's just a bit cluttered. I loved how Comics HD had it all organized together under one roof. In any case, that's an angle I hadn't considered, and would explain why there isn't anything really close on Android.
