What's new in CLZ Comics Mobile?
We have changed our company name!
We were previously called “Collectorz.com”, but as everyone called us “CLZ”, we figured, let’s go with the flow and officially rename the company to just “CLZ”!
But that’s not all. This week also brings:
- a new company logo and styling
- a completely new website at clz.com (previously www.collectorz.com)
- new names for our web-based software, previously called Connect, now simply CLZ Comics Web, CLZ Movies Web, CLZ Games Web, etc…
- new app icons for all CLZ apps!
The best day of the week is here once again: NCBD! Here with 500 overall and 220 actual new titles, all prepared for you by the CLZ crew.
Here are a few highlights for you to look forward to when you enter your LCS or when you shop online. DC introduced us to their Absolute Universe last week. This week they are here with the first within that title: Absolute Batman #1. A re-introduction to the characters we all know and love, but ones again with a spin. 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.
Terminator is back! With a new #1 from Dynamite. Yes, they have a lot of covers, you don’t need all of them to read it. Declan Shalvey and Sal Crivelli are writing this title along with Colin Craker & Luke Sparrow as the artists.
Happy reading!
Shazam! NCBD is here with 220 new releases and 466 actual releases.
Here are a few highlights for you to look forward to when you enter your LCS or when you shop online. Deadpool No More? Well here is the new one! Deadpool’s daughter Ellie Camacho is her to pick up the mantle in Deadpool #7. DC is here with the introduction of their new Absolute Universe in DC All In Special #1.
Scott Snyder writing, art by Daniel Sampere and Dan Mora. This is surely one you don’t want to miss. The Ghost Machine titles have been intriguing so far, they’re here with a new title: Hyde Street #1. Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis are introducing a new character named Mr. X-Ray. What is his secret and that of Hyde Street? Only they know. For now.
Happy reading!
Small reminder: a nice update for CLZ Comics (v9.9!) with several improvements:

DC is doing something really fantastic with Zatanna: Bring Down the House #4. They’re expanding Zatanna’s origin in a really cool way. The incredible visual storytelling done by Javier Rodríguez truly compliments that. Give him more titles DC!
Marvel is back with Phases of the Moon Knight #2, if you are not caught up: This is a title about all the Moon Knights in different time periods. In this issue they are going to the year 2846. A must read for any Moon Knight fan.

Another Wednesday, another NCBD! This week the team has prepared 593 overall releases with 340 actual new titles.
Marvel gives us something they have been teasing for a while in Deadpool #8: Deadpool vs. Death Grip. Definitely not an issue you want to miss.
TMNT: Mutant Nation from IDW picks up after the Armageddon Game event which is written by Tom Waltz (TMNT: Last Ronin). In spite of it not being 2500, 2000 AD just hit the 2400th issue. Now that’s a milestone we thought would be note worthy.
BTW: Don’t forget to visit your LCS on Saturday too, as it will be Batman Day! Your LCS should receive some cool books to celebrate it. Happy reading!
Thank you all for the feedback on last week’s version 9.7 of the CLZ Comics app! Most users absolutely loved the update, but there was some negative feedback too, by email, on our Club CLZ forum and in the CLZ Comics group on Facebook.
So in today’s 9.7.3 update, we are addressing most of the complaints and suggestions.
SNIKT! NCBD is here!

Back to your NCBD! We have prepared 198 new releases with a total of 482 overall releases. Wolverine is back in a new #1, now with an old enemy re-emerging as a new villain who will bring Logan to the brink of his berserker rage. Don’t forget to pick up the final issue of Star Wars #50. Dead Eyes also sees his return in: Dead Eyes: The Empty Frames #1. John McCrea’s (Hitman) art sucks you right back into this universe. Jason Aaron’s TMNT run last month started off solid, now the turtles are back with #2. Hopefully this issue answers some questions we had. What are you picking up this week?

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:
- A crash could occur when searching by series/issues
- For items with very big images, the Edit screen could crash

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.
The CLZ content team (Rowdy, Justin, and Taco) has just finished adding and updating all the latest releases in our Core online comic database, including cover images, cover artists, variant descriptions, and more. Simply open your Add Comics screen and start scanning barcodes.
