Enjoy!
There we go again, new Wednesday, so new comics!
One of our content managers, Rowdy, is on vacation, so Justin and Taco started extra early today, so that they would still be able to get all Core entries for the new releases added and perfected before your LCS opens its doors!
For today’s NCBD, we added 231 new issues. Counting all variants, the total comes in at 517 new releases. Ouch!
The biggest “offender” today is Jonny Quest #1, with 28 different variants (check the pics below).
All new releases are of course directly accessible through your Add Comics. Either browse all new releases on the NCBD tab, or use Series, Issue or Barcode tabs to find them that way.
Speaking about the Series and Issue tabs, what do you think of the subtle but powerful new “Search for.. suggestions” we added there in last week’s updates to the CLZ Comics app?
New:
- Better indication and handling of “subscription expired” status
New:
- Better indication and handling of “subscription expired” status
Fixed:

- For items with very big images, the Edit screen could crash

As always, to browse all of today’s new comics, open your tried and trusted Add Comics screen and at the top right, switch to the NCBD tab.
This week, mutant, sorcerer, inventor ánd warrior Forge is back with a brand new team, in X-Force, Vol. 7 #1. With a special guest appearance by fellow manic mutant and merc with a mouth Deadpool!
DC Comics brings us amazing animal antics in the furry first issue of the fur-bulously titled Super-Pets Special: Bitedentity Crisis, while in the dark corners of the comic universe we see Al Simmons go toe-to-toe with vampire leader Bludd’s new assassin in Spawn #355.
The CLZ content team – Rowdy, Justin, and Taco – has just completed the big weekly update to our Core online comic database. The latest releases, complete with cover images, artist details, and variant descriptions, are now available in your app. Scan your new comics on the Barcode tab, or check the NCBD tab to browse around all of the new releases.
The app now has a “free 7-day trial” again.
No more 100 item “free mode” or “free trial”. We did our best to make it work, but it just didn’t. So we’re back to the old tried and tested “7-day trial” system 🙂
(Don’t worry, if you already started your free mode, it will keep working.)
Buckle up, comic enthusiasts! This New Comic Book Day on July 24, 2024, is bringing a smorgasbord of illustrated delights that’ll make your wallet weep and your bookshelf groan. Marvel’s serving up a double dose of snikt-tastic action with “Deadpool / Wolverine: WWIII #3“, because apparently, these two can’t get enough of each other even after starring in a blockbuster movie. Meanwhile, Captain America‘s shield is probably feeling neglected as he reaches his 11th issue, presumably fighting for truth, justice, and the American way of avoiding paper cuts.
But wait, there’s more! The Star Wars universe is expanding faster than a Hutt after an all-you-can-eat buffet, with “Star Wars: Darth Vader #48” hitting the shelves. One can only imagine Vader force-choking his way through 47 previous issues, his heavy breathing providing the perfect background music. And for those who like their comics with a side of Cowabunga, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol. 6 #1” is debuting with more variant covers (nearly 200!) than you can shake a bō staff at.
The CLZ content team, consisting of Rowdy, Justin, and Taco, has just completed their weekly update to our Core online comic database. This update includes the latest comic releases, complete with cover images, cover artist information, variant descriptions, and more. To access these new comics, simply open your Add Comics screen and start scanning barcodes.
For a different experience, you can also use the NCBD (New Comic Book Day) tab within the Add Comics screen. This tab provides a convenient, centralised view of all the newly released comics for this week in one place!
Version 9.5 is here, an update with one change that is hardly even visible in the app, but with big advantages.
For v9.5, we have enhanced the camera barcode scanner to better deal with barcodes that have a 2 digit or 5 digit “extension”. (As you may know, scanning this barcode extension is essential, as that part tells the app what the issue number and variant is!)
Updated:
- Add Comics by Issue: after adding a comic via the “by Issue” tab, the cursor will be put back in the search box straight away so you can immediately start your next search
This week’s NCBD releases shows us the return of several strong leading ladies!
Sara Pezzini is back for revenge in Witchblade, Vol. 3 in a reimagining of the classic storyline. In Phoenix, Vol. 1 we see the return of Jean Grey, starring in a new galaxy-saving quest. And if that’s not all, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup Utonium are BACK in the brand new series The Powerpuff Girls. Whether you’re a fan of superhero shenanigans or mystical mysteries, this week’s comics are sure to leave you grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Just update your CLZ Comics app to today’s version 9.4!!
Today is New Comic Book Day, so the perfect day to release CLZ Comics 9.4 with our new NCBD feature!
“NCBD” is what was previously called “Pull List”, but we figured that the name NCBD was a better fit of what the feature does, especially after today’s complete re-design.
Here’s what’s new:
- In the Add Comics screen, the fourth tab is now called “NCDB” (previously “Pull List”)
- Navigate over weeks with next/previous arrows, or tap for a dropdown
- Release list now directly shows the issues, as a Card View with big images
- Tap an issue to see all its variants
- New: filter by “#1’s” to show all #1 issues (so all new series)
- Sort issue list by Popularity or Alphabetically
To try the new NCDB tool for yourself, open the Add Comics screen, then choose the 4th tab called “NBCD”!
Fixed:
- Fixed some problems related to updating/remembering the app’s subscription status
Hurray, New Comic Book Day is here! This week we have 561 new releases with 243 new unique issues, and there’s a lot of magic happening here!
