CLZ Alwin here, with the last CLZ Newsletter for 2024.
But first: A happy 2025 from the entire CLZ Team: Martin, Rowdy, Sven, AJ, Pim, Joe, Bernard, Justin, Taco, Kelvin, Sytske and me, Alwin!
Then next up: I have some BIG news:
CLZ is going fully remote per Jan 1!
Yep, today is our last day at the office! Starting Jan 1, CLZ will go fully remote, fully virtual. No more office, no more CLZ HQ. We will all work from home!
During the Covid period, we already worked from home for almost 2 years. During that period, we became pretty efficient in communicating over Slack, meeting using Google Meet, working together using screen sharing, etc…
Post Covid, we never went back to the office in full, most of the team kept working from home 3 days a week, and 2 days at the office. And like many other companies, we are finding that this hybrid situation is far from ideal… and quite costly.
While some companies are attempting a full BTO approach (back to office), we have decided to go the other route: we are going fully remote!
This will give us all more flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time. Lower costs and no more lengthy commutes. And unlike the Covid period, we can still meet IRL whenever we need or want. We are planning to do “social meetings” for lunch or dinner twice a month, and project-based meetings on demand.
We are super excited for this new officeless era!

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.
In issue 1 of New Gods, Vol. 5 we learn that an old god passed away, which sets up many dangerous and chaotic events. Be sure to check out Ram V and Evan Cagle’s take on this epic series.
And last but not least we received a RSVP from a galaxy far, far away. Let’s travel to the beautiful world of Eriadu, where lovers Lula Talisola and Zeen Mrala are going to tie the wedding knot any time soon. Go read Star Wars: The High Republic Phase III – The Wedding Spectacular and see you at the wedding reception!
