Kickstarting Comics: ‘Shin Zero: The Rent-a-Sentai Generation’

by Tito W. James

Shin-Zero: The Rent-a-Sentai Generation looks like a unique take on the Super Sentai genre. The Tokusatsu subgenre has seen a rise in popularity along with the boom in Japanese pop culture. We’ve seen successes like Ultramega that do a western spin on an eastern format. Shin-Zero: The Rent-a-Sentai Generation could add some Euro-Comics flavor to a classic Super Sentai story. Interested readers can sign up for the crowdfunding campaign right now. Here’s the description: 

Two decades after the final kaiju fell beneath a thunderous blaze of technicolor justice, the sentai dream has dimmed. No more dazzling battles or stadium-sized glory — just a generation of ex-hopefuls, including five young heroes sharing a rundown flat and side gigs that barely cover rent. Warren, Héloïse, Nikki, Satoshi, and Sofia once trained to save the world. Now they guard nightclubs, fetch coffee, and navigate an economy that has monetized heroism into a hustle.
