Written and illustrated by Man Tsang, with translation and lettering by Book Buddy Media, The Zeros Vol. 1 introduces readers to a former assassin whose past refuses to stay buried and is brought to life by Mad Cave Studios imprint Nakama Press, which celebrates timeless traditions while embracing bold innovation, building bridges between cultures, and fostering a worldwide community of creators and fans.
Known for a bold visual style and cinematic storytelling, Tsang has crafted a fast-moving, action-packed thriller with morally complex characters and escalating tension. Drawing from both Eastern and Western storytelling traditions, The Zeros delivers a compelling blend of espionage, crime drama, and character-driven suspense.
Editor Kristen Simon, hyped for readers to dive into a story that delivers far more than action alone, had the following to say:
“Man Tsang delivers much more than an action thriller. Beneath the explosive battles and covert intrigue is a compelling story about guilt, redemption, and the difficult choices that define who we become. The Zeros is a fast-paced, emotionally grounded series that keeps surprising you at every turn.”
Perfect for readers who enjoy the stylish action of John Wick, the criminal underworld intrigue of Lazarus, and the moral complexity of modern espionage thrillers, The Zeros is a tale of consequences, survival, and the struggle to outrun the person you used to be.
The Zeros
Once known as one of the deadliest assassins in the feared organization Karma, Pak Ling walked away from a life of violence after a mission ended in tragedy. For five years, he’s stayed hidden—trying to outrun the past he helped create.
But the past doesn’t stay buried.
When new threats emerge, Pak Ling is forced back into a world of covert operations, shadowy alliances, and unfinished business. As old enemies resurface and loyalties are tested, he must confront the choices that defined him—and decide whether redemption is truly possible
