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

But that’s not all though, because Thanos is back! Be sure to read more about him in issue #1 of Thanos Annual 2024. Oh snap!

Een bericht van CLZ in het Nederlands, dat is raar he?
Voor deze keer maken we een uitzondering, want we willen onze Nederlandse klanten graag uitnodigen op het leukste comic evenement van het jaar:
“Comics in the Middle of Nowhere”, op 8 juni (volgende week zaterdag)
In het dorpje “Middel”, in de buurt van Deventer, organiseren onze vrienden van ShortBox Comics een uniek en gratis comic evenement, gewoon in een weiland in Nederland.
CLZ is aanwezig met 4 mensen en zal gedurende de dag demo’s van de CLZ app geven.
We zouden het leuk vinden om je daar te ontmoeten. We delen gratis CLZ sleutelshangers uit op de CLZ stand!
Hieronder de volledige informatie van de organisatie:
NCBD is nigh! We worked on 435 new releases with 195 actual new unique issues. Marvel is releasing a few important titles this week with Hellverine #1, X-Men: The Wedding Special #1 and Avengers: Twilight #6.
Image is releasing a bunch of $1 reprints for big titles from the last few years. Boom! gives us a 3rd issue for Dune: House Corrino. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return #4 gives us what feels like a final battle, which was what this story was leading up to. Happy reading!
All new books are now available in the CLZ Core online database, easily found through the Pull List tab in your trusted Add Comics screen.
BTW: did you know we are working on a complete refresh of this Pull List tab feature? We are also renaming it to “NCBD” to better fit it’s functionality!
A common situation for most users of the Comic Connect web-app: finding a specific issue in your comic database. Up till now, the way to do this was: first find the series (using the search box top right, or the search box above the series folder list), then just scroll down the issue list to find the issue you were looking for. It worked, but could take some time, especially for series with lots of issues.
So to avoid the annoying scrolling part, we created a new “Jump to Issue” feature (aka “the sniper button”)
