I love webcomics but for fucks sake it's paywalled like crazy, is there something like sonarr but for webcomics? There's readarr but I'm not sure that would have these things on there

I asked something similar (its just asking about ebooks) and some of the answers there may help:

I have notes for a follow up but I didn't finish my testing and am still using mostly commercial options.

I think I didn't find anything good for syncing between devices (unless own a kobo reader) but Calibre OPDS was workable as a server and both Booklore and Calibre Web had options for downloading but both have to deal with book torrents often not being available / bundled without the name and I think I liked Booklore more, but was going to go with Calibre Web since I thought I could share the library file (and I travel so for now my "server" is a virtual machine on my laptop that is often not running).

The BookLore Github:

Has a shelf of comics to see how reading on the server works:

https://demo.booklore.dev/library/3/books?view=grid&sort=titleSeries&direction=asc

It looks like I might be misremembering though, and there might not be a torrent search / download, just the OPDS server to download to a remote device on some client apps.

For downloads then looking at my docker compose it looks like I chose LazyLibrarian over bookshelf but I can't tell you why.
