CLZ Alwin here, bringing you the CLZ newsletter for October 2024.
This month was all about our name change (we are now “CLZ”!), our new website, new app icons and new names and URLs for the web-based software. This big change has been cooking for a long time and we are super happy it is finally all live now!
Most of the team has been involved in this big “renaming” project, as we have been updating all sites and products. And we’re still not done. You can expect to see minor tweaks to the look and feel of our sites, fixes to our documentation, etc…
While all that was going on… our mobile team has been quietly and secretly working on a major new feature for the CLZ Books mobile app: OCR scanning of ISBN numbers!
A great way to add books that do not have barcodes, but DO have an ISBN listed on the book. Read on below for more details.
This is what we have been working on in October:
- We are CLZ!
- Collectorz.com is now “CLZ”
- New logo and new website
- New app icons for all 5 CLZ Mobile apps
- Connect is now called “CLZ Web” and is now at app.clz.com
- Coming up:
- CLZ Books 9.5: Scan ISBN numbers with OCR!
- CLZ Core updates:
- Core for Games: “Check Covers” project, FINISHED!
- New Core for Games project: a better Hardware database
- Core for Movies: “Check Covers” project, 81.75% cloud coverage!
- Core for Comics: New Comic Book Day summary, 2,493 new releases

Image Comics gives us 2 titles from the Ghost Machine imprint this week. One of them being a new series, titled It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour #1. From writer Maytal Zchut (Ghost Machine #1) and artist Leila Leiz, this sure is a great title to read during Halloween.

It’s a beautiful, misty day over here as we are nearing the end of October. This week for New Comic Book Day we prepared 222 new issues with 528 releases overall.
DC Comics has reinvented Wonder Woman in the brand new series Absolute Wonder Woman. Be sure to check out issue 1 and prepare for a much darker story.
Image Comics tricks and treats us with several new series, such as Nullhunter, Hack/Slash: Body Bags and The Feeding to name a few, but the one series you might not want to miss is Voices In My Head. A collection of scary tales, written by Eisner Award winner Joe Pruett. This might just be thé perfect comic to read for Halloween!
Finally… lets not forget everyone’s favorite superhero. Tony Stark is back, once again, ready to fight the evil forces of Roxxon and AIM in issue 1 of the new series Iron Man, Vol. 7.
Enjoy!

Two weeks ago, on Oct 7, we changed our company name to CLZ and moved our website to clz.com.
On top of that, we also renamed our “Connect” web-based editions to CLZ Web. So:
- Movie Connect became CLZ Movies Web
- Comic Connect became CLZ Comics Web
- Game Connect became CLZ Games Web
- Book Connect became CLZ Book Web
- Music Connect became CLZ Music Web
Today, we implemented the next step and also moved the CLZ Web editions to their new home at app.clz.com. (previously “connect.collectorz.com” )
At the same time, the CLZ Cloud site moved from cloud.collectorz.com to cloud.clz.com.
Starting from the year 2000, our name has been “Collectorz.com” with our website at “www.collectorz.com”. Makes sense, right?
But since the release of our mobile apps, titled CLZ Comics, CLZ Movies, etc.. many users started to refer to us as “CLZ”. So we figured, let’s go with the flow and officially rename the company to just “CLZ”!
So last week we made the big switch. Our company is now called “CLZ” and our website has moved to clz.com. (We have owned the cool CLZ.com 3-letter domain for many years and now we can finally make full use of it!)
But that’s not all. We took this opportunity to make several other big changes:
- A new company logo and styling for the CLZ brand
- A complete redesign of the CLZ website, with a fresh and modern styling
- All CLZ mobile apps have new icons, to fit the CLZ brand and styling
- Our web-based software, previously called Comic Connect, Movie Connect, etc… , is now simply CLZ Comics Web, CLZ Movies Web
- Where necessary to make the distinction, we will refer to the mobile apps as “CLZ Books Mobile”, “CLZ Music Mobile” etc…
- The CLZ Shop has moved from shop.collectorz.com to shop.clz.com.
Holy Wednesday Abbreviations Day, Batman! It’s NCBD again! This week we prepared 244 new issues with 541 releases overall.
Let’s kick off with one of the most obvious new series released this week, Batman and Robin: Year One. In this first issue Bruce and Dick face a mysterious new crime boss called the General. Generally speaking, he should no competition for The Dynamic Duo.
Wanna know who’s also back with a brand-new series? Our favourite shape-shifting superhero: Marvel’s most mysterious mutant Mystique, m’kay. Be sure to check out Mystique, Vol. 2!
And last but not least, Image Comics offers us #25 of the freaky and scary series The Department of Truth. Apparently this issue will answer a few boiling hot questions!
Enjoy!
It “has come to our attention”… that many users did not like the new app icon we introduced in version 9.10, as it resulted in Advice, Apathy, Annoyance, Anger and even Aggression 🙁
And after reading all user comments, we must agree, we indeed messed up there. Sorry !!!

Transformers is back with #14, Daniel Warren Johnson is the biggest creator of the last 2 years and is knocking it out of the park with this run.
