Ancient Martial Arts Collide with Advanced Robotics in Andy Seto’s Explosive New Sci-Fi Epic
Nakama Press, an imprint of Mad Cave Studios, is proud to unveil CYBER PHOENIX, a thrilling new graphic novel from legendary Hong Kong comic creator Andy Seto (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Shaolin Soccer). Arriving January 27, 2026, Cyber Phoenix fuses futuristic robotics, dazzling martial arts, and big-picture questions about science and ethics into one electrifying adventure.
In the not-so-distant future, mystic martial artists and advanced artificial intelligence share the same battleground. When a brilliant family of scientists mysteriously vanishes, their eldest daughter, Ling Hoi, narrowly escapes with the help of her loyal AI companion, I.i. Desperate for aid, she turns to her estranged aunt, Wong Yam, a master at the Emei Mountain Spirit Power Academy—a legendary school for elite women warriors. Together, Ling Hoi and Wong Yam must face their fractured bond, uncover the truth behind the disappearance, and confront the terrible power that threatens their family—and the world.
“This is a deeply personal story, the first I’ve written in nearly twenty years,” said Seto. “Through Cyber Phoenix, I’ve been able to return to international publishing, and I’m grateful to Nakama Press for giving me the chance to reconnect with readers overseas. My thanks go to everyone in Hong Kong and the United States who helped bring this book to life.”
Editor Kristen Simon added: “Cyber Phoenix is fast, stylish, and packed with Andy Seto’s signature high-impact choreography. It’s near-future sci-fi fused with explosive martial arts—exactly the kind of global storytelling Nakama Press is dedicated to sharing.”
With influences drawn from Japanese anime, manga, and the energy of ’80s Asian action cinema, Cyber Phoenix delivers both spectacle and substance. Fans of Battle Angel Alita, Ghost in the Shell, and Kung Fu Hustle will find a new legend rising.
