Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell #1, written by Charles Soule and art by Steve McNiven. We get an old Matt Murdock, and his powers have faded to nothing. Matt will not, however, sit by and watch his fellow New Yorkers suffer, so instead of swinging around the city from his billy club line, he slings soup at a food center for the poor. But when a mysterious wrinkly old man interrupts a secret convoy causing an explosion, a deadly gas fills Hell’s Kitchen and this tale takes a turn that will change how you look at the Man Without Fear.
Thirteen years ago, Orin McCabe was a family man living a privileged life in the suburbs. Today, he’s condemned to death row for murdering his entire family in an unexpected fit of hammer-wielding brutality. In the aftermath of his heinous crime, it’s fallen to a trio of eclectic, but dedicated, ghost hunters—Jacob, the holy man; Holland, the skeptic; and their leader, Del, a true believer in the occult and worlds beyond—to surveil the abandoned McCabe home in search of proof for the existence of the undead . . . and whatever supernatural source may have possibly fueled McCabe’s inhuman massacre. But this ill-matched and uneasy squad of investigators is about to discover something much more terrifying than any ordinary spirit. . . . Something much more pernicious, much more contagious, that if not contained, could take full advantage of America’s unquenchable appetite for violence and deliver a plague of blood unto us all . . . Plague House #1. Written by Michael Conrad, Art by Dave Chisholm
He’s back! Brought to you by writer Ram V. and artist Butch Guice: Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1! Mitch Shelley, the Resurrection Man, has led thousands of lives and with each unexpected death and resurrection comes a new superpower. But after living a life to its natural conclusion, Mitch Shelly is awoken by a new purpose and power… saving the universe. Follow the Resurrection Man through time as he fights against a monster of his own creation: Gashadokuro — a sadistic WWII internment-camp commander who has inherited a twisted version of Shelley’s powers. The lines of cosmic order will begin to blur as no good deed goes unpunished. And whatever the cause, whatever the consequence, this much is true… he’s dying to save you!

Coming up soon, yet another huge update for your CLZ Books app! This is something we have been working on for many months. And now we are finally so close to release that I can disclose what is coming up:
New in CLZ Book 10.2: Automatic book values and retail prices!
With this new update, our CLZ Core online book database will provide book value/pricing information for used books, plus retail prices.
In more details, this is what will be new in version 10.2:
- Get values for your books, based on average selling prices of the books on various online used book stores.
- The old “Current Value” field will be renamed to “My Value” and will let you either OVERRIDE the automatically provided value, or just fill in a value for books that did not get an automatic value.
- Get automatic retail prices in the Retail Price field (previously named “Cover Price”).
- Use the new Update Values screen to regularly update your book entries with up-to-date Value and Retail Price information.
- Optionally use the Retail Price as a “fallback value”, when an automatic Value is not available.
- See Value statistics and totals in the Statistics screen
- Sort your book list by Value
Will I get values for all my books?
With close to 40 million books in our CLZ Core database, we will not be able to provide a value for all books in your collection. In particular, books without ISBN will not get values, as our value system is purely based on ISBN lookups.
Currently, our Core and Cloud statistics show that CLZ Books users will get a value for around 83% of their books, on average. Your mileage may vary, for example, if you own mostly mainstream US books with ISBN, your percentage may be closer to 90%. If you own mostly antique books, or only books in the Polish language, your coverage will probably be much lower.
The coverage of books with a value may slightly improve over time, as we are still gathering value information for less popular books.
Automatic values will be a premium feature, available for subscribers only
The “Automatic Values” feature will be the first “premium” online feature for CLZ Books. This means that it will only be available for users with an active paid subscription.
In particular, this means that this feature will not be available for users who are still using the app in “grandfathered” mode (as they purchased the app before it became a subscription app). Of course, grandfathered users who DO want access to this feature are welcome to get a paid CLZ Books subscription)
ETA ??
Coming up within a few weeks. I will send out a Sneak Preview email with more screenshots once we are closer to the final user interface.
This version has a couple of behind-the-scenes maintenance changes.
Comics! Get your comics! Fresh off the press!
Yes, we know the sequels are not received well. But Marvel is doing something really cool with Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #2. Charles Soule has you going back to the origin of Vader through the eyes of Kylo Ren. By having him go back to places Vader has visited in the past. You’re visiting Tatooine once again with pirates on Rancor’s and a member of the Hutt family! Great fun!
For DC this week we want to put the spotlight on a few classics that have been reprinted. Swamp Thing, Vol. 2 #37, Batman #31, Batman Adventures #12 are all getting facsimiles, which of these are you picking up?
Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. And LOOK: the 3:15 bus just took a wrong turn… into the neolithic era. That’s Assorted Crisis Events #1 for you in a nutshell!. Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki along with Jordie Bellaire are giving you an ongoing, zig-zagging anthology series about the compromised clicks of our clocks-full of one-shot stories both beautiful and ugly, tragic and redemptive, surreal and somehow all too familiar.
Happy Reading!
