This isn't a traditional text ebook. The software is probably not that big, but the graphic files are probably big.

Anyway, building the comic directly into the viewer is one reason for this issue. There is already a comic viewer on the iTunes store - but as it allows the comic to be downloaded from a secondary site, Apple have no reason to censor. You kinda backed Apple into a corner here, and I don't see what else they could have done. Building a rating systems for applications is going to make things more difficult for developers in the long run. Not for me it isn’t.
