Magnetic Press and renowned French design studio Label 619 are proud to announce the launch of the official Kickstarter campaign for SHIN ZERO, a stunning graphic novel by award-winning creators Mathieu Bablet (Shangri-La, Carbon & Silicon) and Guillaume Singelin (Frontier, PTSD).

The final monster was defeated. The suits are fading. And the world moved on.

Twenty years after the last kaiju was vanquished, the sentai legacy survives—but only in fluorescent jackets and side hustles. Warren, Nikki, Héloïse, Satoshi, and Sofia were once ready to save the world. Today, they share a cramped flat and the fallout of their fading myth.

But something stirs in the ruins of this privatized paradise. When the line between nostalgia and nightmare begins to blur, these worn-out warriors must ask the question they’ve long tried to ignore: Are legends worth reviving—or better left to die?

With expressive, kinetic visuals from Singelin and sweeping emotional depth from Bablet, Shin Zero is Power Rangers by way of RENT—a melancholic, neon-soaked meditation on meaning, myth, and the monsters we carry.

This debut volume includes 216 pages of lush, layered storytelling printed in classic Magnetic Press style, available in three formats:

Softcover Retail Edition: 6.5×9”, uncoated 128gsm woodfree interior stock, with French flaps and spotUV metallic-foil-stamped cardstock cover. A love letter to indie comics, kaiju culture, and those who still believe in heroes.
Limited Edition Hardcover: Exclusive to this campaign. Bound in 3mm boards with metallic silver elements and Magnetic Press’s signature curved corners.
Deluxe Slipcased Edition: A kaiju-skin-textured and foil-stamped slipcase encasing the premium hardcover, with a foil-stamped bookplate and exclusive metal Sentai Corp lapel pin. Designed for collectors and believers alike.
