Synopsis: The future, our world… After years of health, economic and ecological crises, a global civil war breaks out, ignited by a huge pharmaceutical and political scandal denounced by the activist group C.H.A.O.S. 15 years later civilization has recovered, divided between large urban centers, under military and medical surveillance, and freer rural areas, where those who refuse this system of health control take refuge. It is in this divided world that Beck sets out in search of her mentor Kal, who has been missing for several days. This quest leads the young orphan to the town of Bajara, known, among other things, for its free-fighting competitions.

“For The Theory of K.O. I wanted to create an entertaining series, inspired by my teenage reading, with action and fun but also exploring important themes for me such as ecology, technology and human society.
I proposed this series to Mad Cave Studios because I had already collaborated with Mark Irwin on a previous series with another publisher and I trusted him. Lucky for me, Mad Cave was about to launch Nakama Press. It’s motivating to be at the beginning of a project like Nakama Press and to benefit from this new energy.” – Writer/Artist, Mathieu Reynès
Nakama Press is dedicated to delivering the best in global storytelling, bringing fan-favorite titles and long-awaited series to English-language readers with high-quality translations and faithful adaptations.
Get ready for impact—The Theory of K.O. Vol. 1 drops in shops and on bookshelves July 15th!
