I won't comment on the author, so I'll comment on the application: not worth your money (and your time trying it).
Xsee is free (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/xee.html), and this crap is just a wrapper around some decompression and visualization libraries that are quite normal and embedded in any programming language. Not worth 25$. More like 10$ or less, and even in this case just as donation-ware.
Moreover, I'm not completely sure that embedding unrar in an application bundle is legal. And that's quite a point, as the supported comicbook formats are really just compressed archives. Unrar unpack 'em and the author have just to browse though a number of single images, usually jpegs.
So, what's this app about ? Using unrar to unpack the archive in a folder (or decompressing it on the fly, doesn't really matter) and add some decorators to show the images. Not a huge job tbh.
Anyway, I wouldn't pay 25 bucks for this app.

Then he took over a site called Resexcellence and ran it into the ground. See Phill Ryu's observations on that here http://phillryu.com/2006/08/03/good-riddance-bryan-lund/
Apparently Lund is good at hype but when the complaints come in, he complains that Mac users are unbelievably rude. Oh, poor Bryan.
Buyer beware on this one.
