XBMC can view .CBR files natively. What I did was setup a favorite to my comics folder and added a custom menu entry on the main menu for comics. I agree its a little misleading since there is really nothing special in the skin specifically for comics as far as I can tell. You can get the same results from just about any XBMC skin.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look and see what I can do. Does it mean that you have to browse comics through a file-manager type interface though without any sort of info etc...?

I've used ComicRack and the ComicVine plugin to scrape info for most of my comics which is stored within xml files inside the cbz files. I wonder if it's possible to somehow add this info to advanced launcher?

Why not possible? And why not add it? I think that ComicRack is a fantastic tool for organising comics and would like to use the information that I've already scraped and edited.
I appreciate that Advanced Launcher already has a ComicVine scraper, but it seems redundant when every cbz file in my collection already has all the data I could possibly want stored inside of it.

yea if set in the comicrack settings an XML is added to each comic with it's info. You can just reach in and import the info from the XML file.
