News & updates released in 2026 (page 2)
No new features here, but an important improvement to an existing one: the CLZ Cloud syncing. Our mobile developers Pim and Bernard have implemented three changes that will make the down-syncing of new items from the CLZ Cloud to your app a LOT faster!
- The syncing now down-syncs the *data* first, while queuing the *image* downloads. This will make the data sync super fast.
- Downloading the images is much quicker too, especially on fast connections, as it downloads multiple images at the same time.
- As soon as the data download has completed, you can close the Sync screen and start using the app. The image downloads will continue at the bottom of the main screen, prioritising images that are “in view”.
The improvement in speed will be most noticeable when re-downloading your complete CLZ Cloud database, e.g.
- After installing the app on a new device
- After removing and re-installing the app
- After Clearing the Database
However, even during normal use, e.g. when syncing between devices, or between the app and the CLZ Web software, you will find the down-syncing to be much faster than before.
A handy update for CLZ Games! YouTube trailers for games typically come straight from our Core database, but now you can replace the standard Core YouTube trailer with a trailer of your own choice, or add one if we Core didn’t provide one.
Just paste any YouTube URL into your the YouTube trailer link section (Edit Game, then go to the Links tab) and CLZ Gamesautomatically grabs the thumbnail image and video description for you.
Add as many as you like per game, then drag them into your preferred order.
Yeah baby, it’s new comic book day! Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Batman / Superman: World’s Finest, Vol. 2 #50D
Bizarro Year None #1D
Eternals 50th Anniversary Special 1B
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab in your add comics screen. All new releases have been carefully cleaned up, with lots of info added! Be sure to check them out in the app when you hit your comic shop or when you’re back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!

- Setting to enable Subject downloads wasn’t working correctly
The Shake feature is a popular gimmick of the CLZ Comics app: just shake your phone to make it show a random comic from your collection.
This cool tool has even resulted in a recurring trend in the “CLZ Comics” group on Facebook: The Shake of the Day.
Members shake their phone and post a screenshot of the random comic that appears, marking it with the #shakeoftheday hashtag. It’s a fun way to show interesting comics from your collection that you would not have picked yourself.
However… it has come to our attention that some members of this group are being, let’s say, “less than honest” with their shakes!
Fixed:
- Sync: Custom covers weren’t downloaded
This is Alwin, from CLZ, bringing you our monthly news for March 2026. Most of the dev team is caught up in big undertakings at the moment, so that means very few updates this month.
Mobile developers Pim and Bernard are implementing the huge Custom Fields feature for the mobile app. Web developer Joe is adding the ability to add more images for the CLZ Web software. Web developer Michiel is “making more things clickable” in the CLZ Web details panels (I’ll explain below, under What’s Cooking).
Finally… lead developer Sven is doing early research into some cool feature ideas we have. Yeah, I know, that is even more vague, but it’s all I can say at the moment. Will tell you more once I know more!
So for today, two updates and a long What’s Cooking section:
- CLZ mobile apps: Faster down syncing from CLZ Cloud
- CLZ Games Web: Add your own YouTube trailer links
- What’s cooking?
- CLZ Games mobile app: Add your own YouTube trailer links
- CLZ Web: Making more things “clickable”
- CLZ Web: Add more images to your entries (next to front and back)
- CLZ mobile apps: Create (and Sync!!) your own Custom Fields
These top-10s are created by you all, the users of the CLZ app and software, as they’re based on how often these comics already appear on your wish lists in the CLZ Cloud, even before release!

With MegaCon behind us, now we are gearing up for C2E2. There’s still time for some new comics right? Right?! Tons of freshly printed comics for you to digest. Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5. Rangers and Turtles must now face off against Super Zedd, with help from an unexpected new Ranger. Who will that be? Ito’s cover #5G and I are a teaser for that. So that’s my pick for sure!
Iron Man vs M.O.D.O.K.Iron Man #3. Total cover buy for me: Matteo Lolli’s April Pool’s Day Variant. Cardboardpool!
Jigsaw is back! Punisher #2, especially the C cover by Dev Pramanik. It’s been a while since these foes have fought each other, looking forward to seeing in what way he will try to defeat Frank this time.

A Stacked week with tons of exclusives for MegaCon starting tomorrow (hope you’ll have fun if you’re attending!). DC starting off with all of their Next Level #1’s. Spider-Man teaming up with Carnage & Venom to fight Torment in their Death Spiral event. Optimus Prime in G.I. Joe!? That and the Spider-Man Brand New day trailer all on the same day. Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Autobots, roll out! G.I. Joe #20, especially the B cover by Joshua Cassara. Really looking forward to their first interaction within the Energon Universe.
Invincible #1. Yes, another reprint but this time, with a nice InHyuk Lee cover for MegaCon. I’ve been reading the trade paperbacks and it’s been amazing so far. Perfect time to get me a regular copy of issue 1 even though it’s not the first print.
Lobo #1. Skottie Young on Lobo? Sold

Isn’t any week great to be a comic book fan? Two events going on at the moment, Death Spiral started at the end of February. This week Reign of the Superboys takes off from DC. Any big expectations? Here are a few books that were hand picked by our content managers:
Usagi Yojimbo: Kaito ’84 #1. This story takes you to 1984 in Osaka which gives you a heist story with a descendant of Usagi Yojimbo thrown in there. Jared Cullum’s watercolor art compliments to story very well. Definite NCBD pick up for CLZ Taco.
Has the green orc hype caught up to him? Probably.. CLZ Rowdy’s pick for this week is D’Orc #2, especially the B cover by Riley Rossmo. We really enjoyed issue 1, so we can’t wait to give this one a read!
Imperial Guardians #1. Cosmic Ghost Rider is back! Along with a crew this time around. Darkhawk, Amadeus Cho, Captain Marvel and Gamora? Sign me up! From what was teased this is Suicide Squad in space ordered by the Inhuman Maximus to fight against the Kree. Written by Dan Abnett and art by Marcelo Ferreira, Jay Leisten % Rachelle Rosenberg.
