It is Feb 28, so here’s the February 2025 edition of the CLZ Newsletter.
For the mobile apps, instead of diving headfirst into the next cool feature to build, we decided to take a step back and work on several maintenance builds to enhance device compatibility, security and performance.
When those are all completed, we’ve got two big updates planned for CLZ Books (automatic pricing!) and CLZ Games (ToysToLife support).
Read on below for more details about recent and upcoming updates.
For the CLZ Web software, web-developer Joe has done two nice feature updates for CLZ Comics Web (Hide Owned) and CLZ Movies Web (Unrecognized barcodes).
However, the re-design project that I announced earlier has been delayed a bit, as web-developer Sven needed to work on several server-side projects to support the recent and upcoming mobile app updates.
We expect to be back on the re-design soon though.
Today’s topics:
- CLZ mobile apps:
- All Android editions: Edge-to-edge support
- All: Security updates, with 2FA support
- Coming up, CLZ Books 10.2: Automatic book pricing / values
- Coming up, CLZ Games 10.0: Toys-to-Life support (Amiibo’s, Skylanders, etc..)
- Coming up, performance related updates.
- CLZ Web cloud-based software:
- CLZ Movies Web: Better screens for reporting “unrecognized barcodes”
- CLZ Comics Web: New: “Hide Owned” toggle on Add by Series tab
Welcome to this weeks edition of New Comic Book Day.
The rampaging Red Hulk is here for the first time with his own solo series. Red Hulk #1 tying into the One World Under Doom event, he is now a prisoner of Dr. Doom. Along with Think Tank, he’s here to help carry out Doom’s plan for global domination.
Return to the darkness with a new recurring story by legendary horror scribe R.L. Stine, collaborating once again with acclaimed Stuff of Nightmares artist Francesco Francavilla! Hello Darkness #8 gives you a team-up of Marguerite Bennett and Luana Vecchio for a twisted story about a woman’s revenge, and a family’s time of mourning takes a frightening turn in a new story by Joanne Starer and Khary Randolph. Oh and check out that amazing Dan Mora cover (#8D)!
Radiant Black is one of those series you should keep an eye on. What Kyle Higgins and the team behind this have created is something truly special. Kyle is quickly becoming an industry favorite. Their last event “Catalyst War” just ended so a new era of Radiant Black starts here with Radiant Black #31! It’s modern but still keeps that classic superhero storytelling at heart. It’s never too late to dive into this series.
Happy Reading!

With great power comes great…. respect?
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #3, an amazing show which has it’s finale today as well! It perfectly captures the Jack Kirby art-style in the moving format and pays big respects to the stories and characters Marvel has created over the years. This series dives into Spider-Man when he’s just trying out his costume. This is a must-read if you’re a fan of the show.
Grail! Darkseid’s daughter, now serving under the Sovereign is back to fight Wonder Woman in Wonder Woman, Vol. 6 #18. She must call upon her friend turned foe… The Cheetah!
Godzilla: Heist #1What if you could predict when and where Godzilla would appear? What if you knew of the perfect opportunity to pull off the heist of the century?
Jai is a young man who knows two things: A heist needs a good distraction, and there’s no distraction like Godzilla. So, when Jai discovers Godzilla responds to specific energy signals he can send into the atmosphere, he creates the perfect opportunity to stage high-profile heists in the middle of Godzilla attacks. Such a weird but fun concept. This should be a great read based on the description alone!
Happy Reading!
