Mad Cave Studios’ Nakama Press imprint has announced the summer 2025 release of God Tier: Vol. 1: Prey by Mario B. Long and Kurio.
The mysterious anarchist Typhon, the god of monsters, has sparked a fire that has spread across the world. Pablo Costello, and his sister Anna, are trapped in between the raging battle between gangs, police, gods, and monsters.
“I drew inspiration from cult classics like Clash of the Titans, Escape from New York, The Matrix, and Interstellar. The story took shape while I was quarantining in Tokyo during the early days of the COVID pandemic. Like Pablo in God Tier, I was overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding across the world and longed to be reunited with my family. I wanted to reimagine Gods and Monsters through fresh perspectives while weaving in modern social issues. This project would not have been possible without the incredible work of manga artists Kuroi, Pablo Rey, and the Sakura Phoenix Studio team, who dedicated years to bringing this vision to life. Their talent and commitment mean everything to me. It’s an honor to help launch this new era of storytelling with Nakama Press, pushing the boundaries of manga to reach a new generation of readers.”
God Tier Vol. 1: Prey is 144 pages in length and will arrive on June 17, 2025.
