[CLZ News] CLZ mobile apps: new 100-item “Free Mode” / Progress updates on our Core projects / Lego Barad-dûr tower
It’s me again, CLZ Alwin, with your CLZ News for June 2024.
Big changes for the CLZ mobile apps this month, as we replaced the 7-day trial with a 100-item “Free Mode”. Maybe not that interesting for you as an existing user, but then again, it *could* be. Read on below!
The implementation of the Free Mode took most of the time of the dev team this month, so only one other update went live, a cool new way to search comics in Comic Connect.
Of course, our 6-man Content Team (Rowdy, Martin, Justin, Taco, Kelvin and Senno) has been working full-time on our Core online databases. Their first priority always is the adding of all weekly new releases. When that’s done, they’ve always got some big projects going on, to improve the quality and completeness of the existing Core database.
Don’t worry, there’s time for fun too! We started building Lego projects at the office 🙂 First up was a big one: the Lego Barad-dûr tower!

Captain’s Log, Stardate 2024, June 19th. We have encountered 617 new releases with 296 actual new unique issues.
In issue #21 of Star Trek (IDW Publishing) we see how Captain Sisko and his crew visit the Pleroma to meet with god-level species and make small talk about things like the fate of the universe and such.
Over at Earth we see how one of G.I. Joe’s most greatest villains – Destro – stars in his own series; the imaginatively named Destro, while somewhere in the darkness of space and time we witness how the Venomverse is reborn, in the venom-enal new series Venomverse Reborn.
The CLZ content team (Rowdy, Justin and Taco) have just finished adding and updating all these new releases in our Core online comic database, complete with cover images, cover artists, variant descriptions, etc…. All you need to do is open your Add Comics screen and start scanning barcodes.
Or, to see all new releases in one place, use the “Pull List” tab of the Add Comics screen (the tab on the far right).
