News & updates released in 2026 (page 2)
Yes, it has been quite a while since we released updates for the CLZ mobile app. But there is a good reason for that. Most of the CLZ team has been working on our biggest update since years. And its release is very close now!
So here’s a quick heads-up for all users of our CLZ mobile apps: Within 2 weeks, we are going to release major version 11.0 updates for all 5 apps (CLZ Comics, CLZ Movies, CLZ Books, CLZ Music and CLZ Games).
In this version 11, we will introduce an important new CLZ feature, bringing yet another way to customize the app to fit your wants and needs:
Custom Fields: create your own data fields!
The Custom Fields feature will let you create your own data fields, to catalog any information for which the app does not have a built-in field.
You will be able to use the fields like any built-in fields, that is, sort on them, use custom pick list fields as folders, sync the data to CLZ Cloud, print or export list with the custom fields included, etc…
And, if you are also subscribed to the CLZ Web cloud-based software for your computer: the Custom Fields are available there too, so you can sync your created fields and their data between Web and mobile!
[CLZ News] Add covers to Web List View / Mid July: Custom Fields for mobile!
I know, I know, I am one day late. Yesterday, June 30, we had a celebration with the entire CLZ team, celebrating a big milestone for the company, as we had reached a record number of subscribers for our software and apps. I am afraid I can’t disclose how many, but it is a LOT 🙂 So this means the CLZ Team can keep investing in more improvements, new features and the quality and completeness of our Core databases!
We met at a local hotel, for a speech by yours truly, then drinks, then dinner. we stayed at the hotel overnight too and ended the festivities with a luxurious breakfast buffet. Lots of fun!
The team is back at home again now, ready for work (and NCBD of course!). For me, time to write this June 2026 newsletter. Here we go:
Maybe the most important news is: we are very very close to the launch of the Custom Fields feature for the mobile apps! ETA: mid July! More info below.
Finally, this month we again released two nice features/improvements for the CLZ Web software. Cover thumbnails in the list view, and better keyboard support, mainly in the Edit screen. Full details further down.
The newsletter topics today:
- CLZ Web: Add cover thumbnails to your List View
- CLZ Web: Better keyboard support
- What’s cooking?
- CLZ mobile apps: Create (and Sync!!) your own Custom Fields
- CLZ Music Web: Export and Print *track* lists
NCBD! A slower release week due to the summer. Need something to cool off? Marvel’s got you covered with their Swimsuit Special! With 21 different covers no less. Absolute Martian Manhunter’s final issue is releasing today as well. Tons of great books to pick up. Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
CLZ Taco’s pick this week: Radiant Black #43. The previous issue left us on a cliffhanger, really looking forward for this weeks issue. This time bringing in a new artist: Giona Zefiro.
CLZ Rowdy’s pick this week: The Scorched #52. Jessica and her team are now trapped behind enemy lines while two separate armies close in. Will they escape before caught find out with me this weeks issue!
CLZ Justin’s pick this week: Star Wars: Rogue One – Saw Gerrera #1. Saw Gerrera is here once again, this time with higher stakes: information that would provide a tactical advantage that could shift the balance of power in the Rebels’ favor! But is the price to be paid for that information too high?

Two nice improvements for CLZ Web in one go. First, you can now add a cover thumbnail as a column in your List View. Next to that, we spent some time improving the keyboard support in the Edit screen.
On top of that, we’ve now also added the possibility to install CLZ Web “as an app” to your computer.

NCBD! Yes, another Absolute title that takes the crown for being the most populair comic this week. It’s Absolute Batman #21, this time with 107 variants! Amazing Spider-Man #31 should be an interesting issue too, due to what’s been going on with a certain Cormac Crane… And if that’s not all, Something is Killing the Children is back with #48. Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
My pick (CLZ Taco) this week is: Lobo 4. I’m currently buying anything Supergirl related. Hey, no need to judge me. Lobo and Supergirl on a date? This story will be told in another perspective inside of the Summer of Supergirl Special. This one should be more fun though.
My pick (CLZ Rowdy) this week is: Concrete: Stars Over Sand #1. Concrete wandering across the desert, Lost. Larry and Maureen are frantic. Will they find him in time? Found out here!
My pick (CLZ Justin) this week is: Hellboy in Love: Obsidian #1. Hellboy and Anastasia playing Indiana Jones in a tomb with monsters? Sold

My pick (CLZ Taco) this week is: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1. I know, I know, I’ve told you many times that I’m a massive MMPR fan. To feed my eternal hunger of Power Rangers content Boom Studios is here with a new #1. This time with an all-new creator roster as the last few releases haven’t been all that great. Really looking forward to this one 🙂

The end of the month is close, so it’s time to look back on May 2026, with the CLZ Newsletter.
We’re on a roll with the CLZ Web web-based editions. Two big updates for all five Web flavors this month, one focused on customizing your database entries (add more images, other than just front and back), the other is about customizing the software itself (you can now change the order of the the Edit screen tabs).
And our web developers have already started on more improvements for the CLZ Web software, some smaller tweaks this time (more info below).
On the mobile side of CLZ, it is still all about implementing the Custom Fields feature. Complex and time-consuming, both in back-end and UI-design. Pim, Bernard and AJ are making good progress, but we feel a release is still two months away.
It will all be totally worth it though, as this is THE biggest feature we every built, for Web and Mobile.
The newsletter topics today:
- CLZ Web: Add more images to your entries
- CLZ Web: Wider Edit screens, with customizable tab order
- What’s cooking?
- CLZ mobile apps: Create (and Sync!!) your own Custom Fields
- CLZ Web: print detail pages, one item per page
- CLZ Music Web: print track lists
- CLZ Web: add a cover thumbnail to you List View

My pick (CLZ Rowdy) this week is: Escape #7B. Daniel Acuña returns with Milton’s daring plan. By sabotages the Titan cannon from within, but escape means facing an army, a vengeful Colonel, and impossible odds.
My pick (CLZ Justin) this week is: Doomquest #1. Reed rewriting history already sounds like an absurd plan. Well… Doom does it before Reed gets the chance. Now he finds himself in a battle he never intended, across all of time and space!

NCBD once again! It’s no surprise that the biggest comic this week is Absolute Batman #20. The introduction of the Absolute Robin’s within this universe is and was always going to be a big deal.
