What's new?
Today is New Comic Book Day, so the perfect day to release CLZ Comics 9.4 with our new NCBD feature!
“NCBD” is what was previously called “Pull List”, but we figured that the name NCBD was a better fit of what the feature does, especially after today’s complete re-design.
Here’s what’s new:
- In the Add Comics screen, the fourth tab is now called “NCDB” (previously “Pull List”)
- Navigate over weeks with next/previous arrows, or tap for a dropdown
- Release list now directly shows the issues, as a Card View with big images
- Tap an issue to see all its variants
- New: filter by “#1’s” to show all #1 issues (so all new series)
- Sort issue list by Popularity or Alphabetically
To try the new NCDB tool for yourself, open the Add Comics screen, then choose the 4th tab called “NBCD”!
Fixed:
- Fixed some problems related to updating/remembering the app’s subscription status
Hurray, New Comic Book Day is here! This week we have 561 new releases with 243 new unique issues, and there’s a lot of magic happening here!
In issue #1 of Zatanna: Bring Down The House we see the see return of our titular hero performing magical tricks and battling interdimensional demons, while in issue #1 of X-Men: Blood Hunt – Magik we follow Illyana Rasputina searching for her soul and fighting of a vampire army.
But that’s not all though, because Thanos is back! Be sure to read more about him in issue #1 of Thanos Annual 2024. Oh snap!
All new books are now available in the CLZ Core online database, easily found through your trusted Add Comics screen.

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).

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!
Een bericht van CLZ in het Nederlands, dat is raar he?
Voor deze keer maken we een uitzondering, want we willen onze Nederlandse klanten graag uitnodigen op het leukste comic evenement van het jaar:
“Comics in the Middle of Nowhere”, op 8 juni (volgende week zaterdag)
In het dorpje “Middel”, in de buurt van Deventer, organiseren onze vrienden van ShortBox Comics een uniek en gratis comic evenement, gewoon in een weiland in Nederland.
CLZ is aanwezig met 4 mensen en zal gedurende de dag demo’s van de CLZ app geven.
We zouden het leuk vinden om je daar te ontmoeten. We delen gratis CLZ sleutelshangers uit op de CLZ stand!
Hieronder de volledige informatie van de organisatie:
NCBD is nigh! We worked on 435 new releases with 195 actual new unique issues. Marvel is releasing a few important titles this week with Hellverine #1, X-Men: The Wedding Special #1 and Avengers: Twilight #6.
Image is releasing a bunch of $1 reprints for big titles from the last few years. Boom! gives us a 3rd issue for Dune: House Corrino. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return #4 gives us what feels like a final battle, which was what this story was leading up to. Happy reading!
All new books are now available in the CLZ Core online database, easily found through the Pull List tab in your trusted Add Comics screen.
BTW: did you know 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!
A common situation for most users of the Comic Connect web-app: finding a specific issue in your comic database. Up till now, the way to do this was: first find the series (using the search box top right, or the search box above the series folder list), then just scroll down the issue list to find the issue you were looking for. It worked, but could take some time, especially for series with lots of issues.
So to avoid the annoying scrolling part, we created a new “Jump to Issue” feature (aka “the sniper button”)
The best day of the week has arrived: NCBD!
The CLZ team has worked on 507 new releases, for 244 actual new unique issues. Big week with big titles: Amazing Spider-Man #50. The newest volume has hit a milestone! Something is Killing the Children is back: Hard to fathom that this title is already 5 years old, time flies…
DC’s Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #27 continues their Bat-Mite universe story in this issue.
Happy reading!

Fixed:
- Side menu now goes “over” the list and doesn’t “squash” the list anymore

v9.2: Improved “Updated Values” screen, after updating from CovrPrice
CLZ Comics 9.2 is live and this one is for the CovrPrice subscribers!
After using the “Update Values” tool from the menu, to update the values from CovrPrice, the apps shows you a report of which values have change and by how much. For today’s v9.2 update, we re-designed this report and added some new features:
- Tap a comic to pop up a screen with the full comic details
- Now sort your list by the Value Change or by the Value itself
- Filter the list by Collection Status, e.g. to show In Collection comics only
- The list now includes Variant Descriptions!
- Finally: a completely redesign of the list entries to make it more readable
