What's new in CLZ Comics for Android? (page 2)
Captain’s Log, Stardate 2024, June 19th. We have encountered 617 new releases with 296 actual new unique issues.
In issue #21 of Star Trek (IDW Publishing) we see how Captain Sisko and his crew visit the Pleroma to meet with god-level species and make small talk about things like the fate of the universe and such.
Over at Earth we see how one of G.I. Joe’s most greatest villains – Destro – stars in his own series; the imaginatively named Destro, while somewhere in the darkness of space and time we witness how the Venomverse is reborn, in the venom-enal new series Venomverse Reborn.
The CLZ content team (Rowdy, Justin and Taco) have just finished adding and updating all these new releases in our Core online comic database, complete with cover images, cover artists, variant descriptions, etc…. All you need to do is open your Add Comics screen and start scanning barcodes.
Or, to see all new releases in one place, use the “Pull List” tab of the Add Comics screen (the tab on the far right).
v9.3.5: Back button/Swiping to go back wasn’t working in Add screen
Fixed:
- Some back buttons (and swiping to go back) would stop working after adding from Core
- Incorrect error message would appear after adding manually
Fixed:
- A crash could occur on opening the Add Comics screen
New:
Further guidance and popups to help new users get started adding their collection to the app.
Don’t worry, all popups can be dismissed with “don’t show again” 🙂
Fixed for iOS:
- In some cases the “Add to Collection” button wouldn’t work
Holy Hump Day, Batman! It’s New Comic Book Day again.

BTW: did you know (you should know, we posted this twice already 🙂 ) – we are working on a complete refresh of this Pull List tab feature? We are also renaming it to “NCBD” to better fit it’s functionality!
New:
- We changed the “buy now” text link into a big blue button so it’s more clear!
Fixed:
- In some cases logging in to an existing account after starting Free Mode would cause problems with adding.
CLZ Comics is now free to use up to 250 comic books, for as long as you like.
This “Free Mode” includes access to all functionality, including CLZ Cloud syncing (for online backups and transferring data between devices).
Got more than 250 comics? Then subscribe (US $20 per year or US $2 per month) and add as many comics as you need. Of course, feel free to try the app with 250 comics first!

CLZ Comics 9.2 is live and this one is for the CovrPrice subscribers!

Adding comics by barcode is one the main features of the app and an essential part of that is the camera barcode scanner.
For this update, our mobile app developer Pim has spent a few days optimizing that camera barcode scanner. The idea was to make better use of the power of today’s devices, both in cameras and computing power.
And the results of his tweaks are amazing. The scanner is now much faster!
The difference in scanning speed will be especially noticeable when scanning the longer barcodes seen on modern comics, with a 2 digit or 5 digit extension. Correctly scanning that extension is essential for identifying the exact issue and variant.
We would love to hear how the new scanner works out for you, please let us know in this Club CLZ post here!
Fixed
- Fixed: Update from Core would always report updates even if there were none
A more compact NCBD. With this week we have 476 new releases and 208 actual new unique issues. Ghost Machine is releasing their universe with Rook: Exodus, Redcoat and Geiger getting a new volume. Deadpool is being re-launched along with a new issue for Grim (Boom! Studios). Don’t forget to pick up a copy of Transformers this week, a bunch of reprints for issue 1 through 4 are due this week!
All new books are now listed in the CLZ Core online database, easily searched and browsed through your trusted Add Comics screen.
Since November 2021, CLZ has been providing you Key Comic information for your comics, like first appearances, cameo appearance, deaths, iconic covers, etc.. Up till now, we have been indicating the importance of Key Comics using Major Key (yellow) and Minor Key (blue) designations.
However, starting today, we are renaming Major and Minor and are introducing several extra Key Comic importance levels, so that we can give you a more granular indication of a comic’s importance.
Here’s an overview of the new Key Comic levels, with some examples:
We hope you will enjoy these new key indicators!
Got any questions or feedback? Please post your comment in the special topic on the Club CLZ forum here!
Fixed:
- Sync with CLZ Cloud: A crash could occur during downsyncing
After the huge version 9.0 update back in November 2023, our mobile team has been focusing on two big v9.0 updates for our CLZ Movies and CLZ Games apps.
But… we’re back working on CLZ Comics now, bringing you a nice v9.1 update, with two often requested features:
- Use Edit Multiple to set Creators and Characters for multiple comics in one go
- Tap a creator name in comic details to instantly see all comics he/she worked on
Next to that, we are working to improving the barcode scanning, this is now live for Android in this update. Coming up for iOS.
NCBD! This week brings us 516 new releases and 223 actual new unique issues. Our eyes are on X-Force #50 and Monstress with both titles having their milestone issue this week. X-Men ’97 #1 to coincide with the show which is now on streaming. Don’t forget to pick up Sam and Twitch: Case Files #1, that’s looking like a good read.
