Bryan Lund, former head honcho of Radical Breeze, is back with a different name. Over at Radical Breeze he bought several titles from original indie developers and added a couple of flashy icons, sold them through VT, then abandoned them. He was beat up about pledging to introduce upgrades (upgrades that were just this close to being ready) and then crept into his cave and we enver heard from him again. Even appeals for help from registered users were met with deafening silence. No support whatsoever. Nada.

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.

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.
