Comic books have gone digital. And the rise of smartphones, tablets and other portable devices has sparked a boom in apps that not only let you read your favorite digital comics on the go but also organize your electronic collections.

From all-in-one marketplace and reader apps to lightweight readers and Web comic viewers, here are our 15 favorite mobile comic book readers. The ComiXology website serves as a digital marketplace Android users enjoy the benefit of making purchases within the app , while letting you stream and read titles on your smartphone or tablet.

Rather than buying titles one by one, readers can instead access a treasure trove of issues from Marvel Comics' archives through the Marvel Unlimited app. It's not perfect, as users need to be online to access and read comics users may bookmark up to 12 issues to read offline , but it's a great way for Marvel fans to binge read classic tales of the Marvel universe. DC has also set up its own all-you-can read subscription service with DC Universe.

Not only does DC Universe offer a wide selection of comics from its catalog, but the app also allows you to stream animated series, movies, and live action adaptations of DC's many comic characters. And that's the bigger draw, to be honest, as the library of comics that you can stream or download for reading isn't as extensive as competing offerings from Comixology or Marvel.

Shonen Jump has a year history of bringing some of the best manga to the reading public, pioneering the "shonen" style of action-oriented manga. The Shonen Jump app offers up a wealth of digital manga to its subscribers, with new chapters appearing weekly with full English translations, as well as a back catalog of more than 10, manga chapters, digital-exclusive series, and previews of paid manga volumes. Crunchyroll has been a streaming pioneer of Japanese anime, and it also provides an all you can read manga streaming service for its subscribers through the Crunchyroll Manga app.

Subscribers can view the entire catalogue, with series such as Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and many more available in the app. Crunchyroll Manga uploads the newest issues as soon as they hit the streets in Japan.
