One year ago, four friends barely escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave (the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep) in order to save one of their own from the game’s all-too-real consequences, they survived… barely. But after their harrowing rescue, they’ve decided they’ve had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep.
That is, until the newest DLC, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks at the heart of Nightmare Cemetery’s digital darkness . . . and why its effects are now bleeding out into the real world in an array of bizarre and disturbing new ways. Cemetery Kids Run Rabid #1

In December 2024, we introduced a cool new way to add comics to your app: just scan the cover!
No more need to scan the barcode, no more need to find series by title and/or issue number… Just take a picture of the cover and the app shows you possible matches. Pick the right one and add it to your collection. Easy, fast… and.. everyone can do it, even if your knowledge of the comic world is limited.
Now, we expected this feature to be a hit, mainly for comics that do not have a barcode, or maybe for comics that have the barcode on the back cover. However, the Cover Scanner turned out to be way more popular than anticipated and by now it has grown to be the most popular feature in the app and, somewhat surprisingly, the main way for most users to add their comics, even for comics that do have a barcode.
So… it’s time for the next step. Let’s make this feature even faster and easier!
Here’s what’s new in today’s version 10.3 update:
- Easier and quicker match selection
- New queue mode for adding in batch
- New two-panel layout for tablets in landscape mode
All CLZ news for July 2025, summarized in one email.
Two big releases this month, with a 3rd one coming up within a few days, maybe even tomorrow.
First up is the addition of several new data fields to our CLZ Music tools, both mobile and web. Users are loving the new fields, especially the Listening History.
The 2nd update, for all five CLZ Web flavors, received some mixed feedback. Most users absolute love the addition of the automatic eBay search links, but a small group of users hated it with a passion.
Which is why we made it optional from the start. But… based on the feedback, we have tweaked the look and placement of the links. Now things have quieted down in our support channels… phew, crisis averted!
We had planned to do a third big release this month, but it got delayed a bit. I am talking about the improvements to the popular Add By Cover Scan feature in the CLZ Comics mobile app. The final tweaks have just been implemented though, so we hope to submit to the apples and googles for approval today!
More about the above 3 updates and 2 other ongoing products:
- CLZ Music (web and mobile): New data fields
- CLZ Web (all flavors): Automatic eBay search links
- Coming up: CLZ Comics 10.3 (mobile): Easier and faster Adding by Cover!
- Coming up: CLZ Movies updates (web and mobile) with many new fields

As the Formula X Championship heats up, the Racer family faces black‑ops sabotage, underground crime syndicates and one masked rival who may know them all too well. Legacy, loyalty—and neon‑lit danger—await on the track.
Sun, Sand, Superman? DC’s Kal‑El‑Fornia Love takes the Super‑Family on a West Coast vacation like no other.

And finally, let’s journey into a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: The High Republic Finale #1. It promises to cap off Phase III of the High Republic saga, where Jedi face the scourge of the Blight, the rise of Marchion Ro and a nameless threat consuming the Force itself. The destiny of the Jedi Order hangs in the balance!

Two weeks ago, we introduced the new “Automatic eBay search links” in your CLZ Web software. After launch, we received quite a bit of feedback about this feature, both positive and… let me say… less positive 🙂
So we sat down, went over all feedback, and then came up with some tweaks to make everyone happy!
First, I have to repeat: this feature is OPTIONAL.
Most users love having the quick and easy access to eBay listings for their collectibles, either to:
- easily get a feel for an item’s value, by finding its Completed/Sold listings on eBay.
- easily find available copies on eBay, useful for your wish list items.
However, if you don’t see the value in this, if you don’t find this useful, then you can easily DISABLE this feature in the CLZ Web’s Settings screen, on the bottom right, under “eBay search links”.
v10.2.8: “Update from Core” now replaces preview art with final cover art
New:
- “Update from Core” will now replace preview art with final cover art if it is available.
Some explanation on the above:
If no regular art is available yet, comics often will have preview art as front cover. Once final cover art is available, we update the comic in Core with that final cover art.
To get the final cover art, just select one or more comics, then tap Update from Core from the action menu.
Also:
- CLZ Comics has been updated to the new Play Store API
