Zero's Journey is a serialized comic book serving as the sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was an ongoing collection of 20 single-issues published by TOKYOPOP that were converted into traditional volumes. Issues were published monthly, and after the comic was converted into trade paperback, the issues were resized as black-and-white colored manga style, known as the Ultimate Manga edition.

According to the creators, "Zero's Journey" was a commemoration to the film's 25th anniversary.
