Mad Cave’s Nakama Press Unleashes The Zeros Vol. 1, an Assassin Thriller Where the Past Comes Back Swinging

A former assassin tries to disappear, but fam, the past has GPS.

Mad Cave Studios’ Nakama Press imprint is bringing The Zeros Vol. 1 to English-language readers, a fast, sharp, action-espionage graphic novel from writer and artist Man Tsang, with translation and lettering by Book Buddy Media. The story follows Pak Ling, once one of the deadliest killers inside the feared organization known as Karma, who walked away after a mission ended in tragedy.

For five years, Pak Ling has stayed hidden, trying to outrun the violence he left behind. But when new threats rise and old enemies circle back, he gets dragged into covert warfare, dangerous alliances, and unfinished business that refuses to die quiet.

Blending crime drama, espionage, emotional reckoning, and cinematic action, The Zeros is built for fans of John Wick, Lazarus, and morally messy thrillers where every punch comes with consequences.

The Zeros Vol. 1 arrives September 8, 2026, in paperback.
