Good place for downloading digital comic books? (lemmy.world)

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this.

I have a reasonably sized digital comic book collection - mostly bought through Comixology before they were taken over by Amazon. It was easy then to remove the DRM and have a free version of the books in my collection. Since you now have to go through Amazon it's not so easy.

I figured the easiest way to get the remaining books that I never got round to downloading would be to pirate them - I assume via torrenting or Usenet. It's been a long time since I've used either and, for all I know, there's a better way.

The fact is, though, I can't find very much content out there, but surely I'm not the only one who wants to download this kind of content?

So my question is - What's the best method for downloading comic books and where is the best online location for finding them?

annas-archive.org maybe?

MyAnonaMouse has quite a lot of comic books and is probably the easiest private tracker to get into.

Mylar is pretty good for organising and finding comics, but needs some setting up first

readcomiconline.li is very good and even has an extension on Mihon for easy viewing

Also https://getcomics.org is easier to download from

Some libgen servers have dedicated comics categories. It's okay especially for older stuff.

Mostly anime and manga, but worth a look: nyaa. iss. ink (delete whitespaces). Be cautious tho.

Do you mind me asking what I need to be cautious of? There isn't much anime/manga I'm looking for, but one or two titles are...

Standard things like checking if you don't donwload executable files and have some downloads shown on that torrent page without complaints against using it.
