Just like most physical industries, comic books is another market which has seen significant change over the last few years, thanks to the digital revolution. While there is nothing like having a physical comic in your hands, the digital side of comics is proving to be a useful companion to owning comic books and comic book collection building. In some ways, it adds to the experience by offering a centralized and easy to navigate and manage online collection, as well as some features which improve the reading experience overall. Here are ten comic book apps for Android which are currently worth checking out.

Starting off the list today is an app a number of comic books fans might already be familiar with. This is Comics by ComiXology and is easily one of the largest databases of comics in app form available. Not to mention that this is a very well-polished app and offers a nice and clean interface. It is also worth pointing out that ComiXology was picked up by Amazon in 2014 and so this app works seamlessly with the Amazon ecosystem.
