Today is New Comic Book Day, so the perfect day to release the new NCBD feature for your trusted Add Comics screen! We bring you a completely redesign of the Pull List tab, you know, the rightmost tab of Add Comics. At the same time, we are renaming the tab to “NCBD” as we figured that this was a better fit of what the feature does, especially after today’s complete redesign.
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 click on the week/date for a dropdown
- Release list now directly shows the issues, as a Card View with big images
- Click on 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 in the Add Comics screen:
- Add Comics: NCBD tab: Tapping “View all issues” for a series didn’t work
- Missing Comics: “Open in Add Comics” link didn’t go to the right tab
- iOS only: Add Comics: The bottom area with the Add button was acting strange sometimes
Wishing you all a Merry New Comic Book Day and a Happy New Pull List!
This week we start with the Christmas-themed issue 12 of Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 2. Even though the Christmas season is upon them, it looks like dark clouds are gathering above the Parker family.

Today, a big update for your CLZ Comics Web software.
For this update, we have done a complete re-design of the Add Comics screen. The 3 main goals here were to:
- Make it easier and faster to navigate when adding comics by Series
- Make the search results more compact and nicer looking
- Make it all fast and snappy
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 week ago, we released the huge v10.0 update for CLZ Comics, in which we introduced a new super easy (and super fun!) way to add comics:
Add Comics by just scanning the cover!: Take a picture of the cover and the app will instantly show you matching covers from our CLZ Core online database. Tap the one you want to add it. Quick, easy and fun.
Today, in version 10.1, we’re taking the next step, by bringing the cover scanning feature to your Check Value screen!
A week ago, we released a huge v10.0 update for CLZ Comics, in which we introduced a new super easy (and super fun!) way to add comics:
Just scan the cover!
Take a picture of the cover and the app will instantly show you matching covers from our CLZ Core online database. Tap the one you want to add it. Quick, easy and fun.
However… after the v10 launch, we immediately starting getting the request:
“Can you please add the cover scanning in the Check Value screen too?”
Of course, we saw this one coming from a mile away 🙂
In fact, we had originally planned to include that in v10.0 right away. We later decided to postpone, so that we could launch the cover scanning for adding comics released ASAP.
But we are now ready to make that next step:
Lots of great comics on display for this week’s edition of New Comic Book Day!
Let’s kick off with Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk #20 in which we see the grumpy green giant battle the lord of the Werewolves himself, Vârcolac. I bet this issue will have you howling for more!
Next we follow Batman’s early career in #1 of the new series Batman: Dark Patterns, published by DC Comics. We watch as he joins up with commissioner Gordon in order to try to solve several dreadful murders. What kind of evil is at work in Gotham?
And finally, in order to hopefully escape the scariness surrounding us, we dive into the Christmas-themed Creepshow Holiday Special 2024, published by Image Comics. Christmas is the time of giving, of loving one another and singing jolly Merry Christmas songs together. So let’s just stay inside, were it’s comfy and safe, and try to ignore the scary monsters that are surrounding our house.
Happy Reading!
BTW: how do you like the HUGE CLZ Comics 10.0 update?
You can now add comics by simply taking a picture of the cover!!!
Check out some screenshot and a demo video here.
Also see v10.0.2: New “Type Barcode” sub-tab in Add Comics screen
A small update to the Adding by Barcode section of the Add Comics screen. Under the “Barcode” tab, there now are two sub-tabs: Scan Barcode & Type Barcode.
Read all about the V10.02 update
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.

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!

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!

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.
