Heelo Zacharie!
For reading comic books you can use one of these 2 apps released here:
They both read cbz/cbr/pdf/rar
Comic Zeal: viewtopic.php?f=348&t=173224&hilit=comic
iComic: viewtopic.php?f=348&t=170925&hilit=icomic
If the comic is a simple PDF you can also use the built in PDF app called iBooks.
Discuss iPad apps here.

Aah... ga!nusha - who else? - our site's iKid. Thank you so much for your reply. Weird you are still on this site... You would make a perfect answering machine in a world where people would take it for granted to spread complicated questions and requests... Ow? Perhaps you are indeed at the right place here... Haha! Anyway, your reply has been added to the Comics news page. Strange how it suddenly gets more colourful now your name appears there...
Should anybody feel the need to add something more to this info - maybe about reading .jpg on iPad/iPhone - feel free to do that here, or directly in the news topic.
Thanks again, iKid!

I use ComicZeal is simply excellent for the job, you can add your comics in cbr or cbz, the interface is friendly and you can organize your library in the app, and even has an option to show your comic in a manga mode from the end to beginning, and the last version looks great, i truly recommend it. you can find it in the appstore and this is its webpage:

Comic Zeal is awesome. The sorting is a little confusing, but the author has been listening to some feedback, but it's great for reading. And to clarify, the sorting and folders is great, it's just not very iPadish.
The price jumped around a little, but has stabilized at $4.99 (currently) is the lowest it's ever been.
April 2016 UPDATE: Comic Zeal hasn't been updated in a while and more than a few people are complaining about some password/authentication issues. The author hasn't been responding in the forums for ages (Oct 2015?).
I've moved over to Chunky (free to user for basic reading, but I recommend paying for the full) and been even more happy with it, they respond to my questions/feedback.

I recently got an iPad Air (first Apple product) and I tried many free programs for epub/mobi/cbr.
The best cbr viewer for me is ComicFlow. I tried others but I think this is for me.

Please send me a private message if my links are down and I will try to fix them as soon as possible. Thanks.

I suggested Comic Zeal two-and-a-half years ago (above) and it's still my preference. Lots of improvements over the last few years.
I've tried a few others, but this is still my favorite.
A little steep at $4.99 (since that's the only way to try it), but it's definitely worth it. (Price has only dropped below that once in 4.5 years, and that was $3.99 for less than a week.)

CHUNKY is a great free reader for iPad. You can just drag over into iTunes and the files sync, it's super fast (it doesn't process the whole comic like Comic Zeal does) to import.
It will synchronize with a iCloud folder which is super convenient since you can sync multiples very easy.
You can access DropBox and Box flies, it's kind of hiden though: under the Cloud icon choose EDIT and "+" and you can add services.
It works great for FREE and if you want additional features it has some in app purchases (or even just a donation). I played with it a bit and didn't feel like it was missing a thing. I'd pay an IAP if it would synchronize easily with a folder on DropBox or my network.

Just an FYI:
CHUNKY works great on the new iPad Pro.
The new iPad Pro is pretty much the same height as a standard comic book, maybe a 1/10th of a inch taller (and a little wider) so it's perfect.
It seems huge compared to reading comics on my old retina iPad.
On top of that, it'll zoom in (automatically) to remove the boarder around the edge of the comic making it even larger...
I'm going totally digital now. No magazines, comics or books (except maybe reference material / manuals).

Yacreader (yet another comic reader) is the best.
