Looking to read mainly old marvel comics, any good website or place to download that doesn't seem super sketchy?

You can try this website for downloading or this for reading.

Tachiyomi!

It's built for manga first, but any kind of comic / light novel can be read through it.

Anyone with iOS or an iPad OS device might want to look into the Paperback app. It’s been a while since I used it, but it was amazing once it was set up. There’s a process to adding sources, and it’s kind of unclear. So you might have to watch a video or whatever. It’s kind of like emulators and roms* in the they don’t want to help you get the content so to speak.

Also there might be a reason why the TestFlight (beta) version is better. Like I said, it’s been a minute since I looked into it.

Neat! Will look into that for sure.

Ya once it’s set up properly you basically have an unlimited library of every comic book, with a slick UI.

It’s basically like setting up a repository if I remember correctly. I think there’s manga centric sources and American centric sources. So you have to choose your source accordingly. I remember being confused for about 20 minutes trying to get it to work, but I eventually found a walk though to something.
