What's new in CLZ Comics? (page 3)
Some Android users were reporting problems with the barcode scannner, as in that it wasn’t scanning barcodes at all. We’ve been investigating and gathering reports from users through a Facebook post that we set up and learned that the problem happened on some specific devices only.
These top-10s are created by you all, the users of the CLZ app and software, as they’re based on how often these comics already appear on your wish lists in the CLZ Cloud, even before release!
A small update to the Adding by Barcode section of the Add Comics screen. Under the “Barcode” tab, there now are now two sub-tabs
- Scan Barcode: scan barcodes using your device camera
- Type Barcode: type barcodes or use external scanner
Basically, the ability to manually type in barcodes has been moved to its own sub-tab. This way, you can do manual entry of multiple barcodes in a row, without having to tap the keyboard icon each time to pop up the entry screen.
Another advantage of the new set-up is that it now fully supports scanning barcodes with an external USB or bluetooth scanner!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, New Comic Book Day is here!
Let’s kick off with an all-new Venom in #1 of the very originally titled new Marvel series All-New Venom! The BIG question in this action-packed issue of course is, WHO exactly is hiding under the mask??
More mysteries await us in Dynamite Entertainment’s Thundercats: Apex and it appears this action-packed one-shot has all the ingredients for a wild-west themed adventure! We have the desolate desert landscape, the mysterious stranger ánd plenty of bandits for Apex to defeat!
Last but not least we join Robin, Zatanna and Agios Nikolaus AKA the one and only Santa Claus for a cosy gathering at the Wintersgate Manor. Their mission? Finding the missing Justice League… and eating and drinking as much as possible of course, judging from that beautiful Bernard Chang regular cover. You can read it ALL in #2 of Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns.
Happy Reading!
BTW: how do you like today’s HUGE CLZ Comics 10.0 update?

As we announced on our social channels earlier, CLZ Comics v10.0 is coming soon. And today, we can finally reveal what the big v10 feature will be:
Adding Comics by scanning the cover!
In version 10, we are introducing a new way to find comics in our CLZ Core and then add them.

The app will show the matching comics from our Core!
November is almost coming to an end, but not before we celebrate one more New Comic Book Day!
This time we take a deep dive into the world of the Hulk family in #19 of The Incredible Hulk, Vol. 4. Expect 64 pages of bone-crushing action!
Over at DC Comics we join The Justice League in their ongoing battle with evil. We travel to space, we visit the Watchtower, we fight some baddies and maybe, just maybe, we will meet some very familiar faces along the way in #1 of Justice League Unlimited, Vol. 2.
In #4 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol. 6 Donatello finds himself trapped in a zoo where he’s forced to fight other combatants for the sheer entertainment of others. I bet you will have a shell of a time with this particular issue!
Happy Reading!
BTW: In today’s NCBD report, we introduce a new section “CLZ Staff Picks, featuring our content team’s favorite new releases.
This section replaces the Most Variants section, as that was becoming less interesting, with the same series reappearing as the “winner” every few weeks.
At the moment, we are finalizing the UI/UX for the BIG new v10.0 feature and doing more testing, testing and testing.
Superman below has already spotted the new feature.
He says it is “inside the Add Comics screen” !!!
What do you think? What will be the big new v10 feature?
Let us know your guesses:

The CLZ developer team (Sven, Pim, Bernard and AJ) is currently working on a major v10.0 upgrade for your CLZ Comics mobile app. Early versions are already being tested by AJ, Justin and Taco.
ETA still unknown, but my best guess is “within 2 weeks”.
This update will bring ONE huge new feature, something that currently is THE number one request from our users.
Can you guess what the big new feature will be?
Let us know your guesses:
Happy New Comic Book Day everyone! This week we prepared 218 new issues with 474 releases overall.
This week DC Comics gives us #1 of the brand new series The Question: All Along the Watchtower and it stars former Gotham detective Renee Montoya as The Question. There’s no question this will be spectacular, so be sure to watch out for this one.
If you like your comics spooky and mysterious, then I would advice to check out #1 of Barstow, a new mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics. Barstow is the name of a town located in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Expect possessed locals and demonic battles in agent Miranda Diaz’ battle to find a missing colleague.

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 !!!
