Is the Marvel Comics iPad App the only comic book application available?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

ComiXology is a Comic book app that looks promising:

However, the best comic book reader isn't a reader at all. A number of small (and some large) comic book authors build PDF's of their comics. Quite simply, it is very easy to export a comic book that is prepared for print to a PDF. As a result, many authors and publishing houses make virtual copies of their comic books available for purchase online in PDF.
You can convert PDF's to the ePub readable format required by the iPad. Here is a guide:

M$-IDW Comics
-The Carrier (author Evan Young and publisher StopWatch Media)
-iVerse Comics (Marvel, Image, IDW, and Archie Comics and many smaller studios including Antarctic, Boom!, Red 5 and more)
-Transformers Comics(IDW)
-Star Trek Comics(IDW)
-GiJoe Comics(IDW)
-Luke McBain(comic book from 12 Gauge Comics by David Tischman and Kody Chamberlain)
-Vervm(Joshua Emmons and Katie Cook)
-Archie Comics
-Carnival Comics(including Murphy's Law, Carnival of Souls, Funhouse of Horrors, and Everyone Loves a Clown)
As you can see there are a couple of apps that are more specific and a couple that cover a broad number of comics. The Marvel, Transformers, Star Trek, etc Apps are all specific Apps. If you look at the iVerse Comics App you will notice that is contains almost every other comic book app's contents all in one. I think that is the best choice, it's basically the Comis Book App Store.
