    Is there a program to open these .CBR files (comic book rar) for OSX? I found a site to purchase and download a lot of my old favorite comics but I wanted to make sure I can view them on my Mac first.

    If .cbr files is just as I suspect (and this site claims) just .rar files which is renamed, then just renaming them back to .rar should let you open them (you might have to get Stuffit Expander or some other un-compressor, though, because I'm not sure the one built-in to Mac OS X (BOMArchiveHelper) can uncompress .rar's.

    Edit: When uncompressed, maybe this program makes reading the comics even better...

    Yes indeed, changing the extension from .cbr to .rar does the job! :)
