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!

This is CLZ Alwin, writing this January 2025 newsletter from home!
The entire CLZ team has been working fully remote since Jan 1 now and we’re doing great. We’re chatting over Slack and doing lots of Slack huddles and Google Meets when needed. And we have met for lunch with the whole team twice now!
Looking back at the releases for this month and the progress on long running projects, we’re just as productive as we were at the office, while enjoying more freedom and free time. So far so good!
The topics for today’s newsletter:
- CLZ mobile apps:
- CLZ Scanner 2.0: Better barcode scanning / OCR reader for ISBNs
- CLZ Music / Movies / Games: Better barcode scanning
- CLZ Web cloud-based software:
- CLZ Comics Web: Re-design of Pull List feature (and now called “NCBD”)
- CLZ Music Web: Add by Barcode: combine discs into multi-disc album
- Coming up: more “compact” look for CLZ Web
We are currently working on a re-design of the CLZ Web cloud-based software, with a more modern and more “compact” look.
The main goal is to make the user interface (toolbars, etc..) more compact, so that more screen estate is freed up for your actual collection data. More collection items on screen, more folders on screen.
Also, this will make the CLZ Web software more usable on smaller laptop screens.
Today I can show you a sneak preview of the first area we tackled: the Edit screens.
