Transformers is back with #14, Daniel Warren Johnson is the biggest creator of the last 2 years and is knocking it out of the park with this run.

Marvel is back with Phases of the Moon Knight #2, if you are not caught up: This is a title about all the Moon Knights in different time periods. In this issue they are going to the year 2846. A must read for any Moon Knight fan.

Another Wednesday, another NCBD! This week the team has prepared 593 overall releases with 340 actual new titles.
Marvel gives us something they have been teasing for a while in Deadpool #8: Deadpool vs. Death Grip. Definitely not an issue you want to miss.
TMNT: Mutant Nation from IDW picks up after the Armageddon Game event which is written by Tom Waltz (TMNT: Last Ronin). In spite of it not being 2500, 2000 AD just hit the 2400th issue. Now that’s a milestone we thought would be note worthy.
BTW: Don’t forget to visit your LCS on Saturday too, as it will be Batman Day! Your LCS should receive some cool books to celebrate it. Happy reading!
Thank you all for the feedback on last week’s version 9.7 of the CLZ Comics app! Most users absolutely loved the update, but there was some negative feedback too, by email, on our Club CLZ forum and in the CLZ Comics group on Facebook.
So in today’s 9.7.3 update, we are addressing most of the complaints and suggestions.
SNIKT! NCBD is here!

Back to your NCBD! We have prepared 198 new releases with a total of 482 overall releases. Wolverine is back in a new #1, now with an old enemy re-emerging as a new villain who will bring Logan to the brink of his berserker rage. Don’t forget to pick up the final issue of Star Wars #50. Dead Eyes also sees his return in: Dead Eyes: The Empty Frames #1. John McCrea’s (Hitman) art sucks you right back into this universe. Jason Aaron’s TMNT run last month started off solid, now the turtles are back with #2. Hopefully this issue answers some questions we had. What are you picking up this week?

Alwin here, the CLZ guy, with your CLZ news for August 2024.

The new “search for…” suggestions will save you a lot of time and typing.
We have also completed a big 9.7 update for the CLZ Comics app, which we planned to release before the end of the month. But the last stretch, tweaking and tuning the UI, took more time than we anticipated. So we will release this new version early next week.

Enjoy!
There we go again, new Wednesday, so new comics!
One of our content managers, Rowdy, is on vacation, so Justin and Taco started extra early today, so that they would still be able to get all Core entries for the new releases added and perfected before your LCS opens its doors!
For today’s NCBD, we added 231 new issues. Counting all variants, the total comes in at 517 new releases. Ouch!
The biggest “offender” today is Jonny Quest #1, with 28 different variants (check the pics below).
All new releases are of course directly accessible through your Add Comics. Either browse all new releases on the NCBD tab, or use Series, Issue or Barcode tabs to find them that way.
Speaking about the Series and Issue tabs, what do you think of the subtle but powerful new “Search for.. suggestions” we added there in last week’s updates to the CLZ Comics app?
