Martial War

Edition excerpt from Martial War Volume 1 (2027): **A young man picks himself out of the rubble and aims to fight his way through the Octagon, proving himself a ninja! When Trash was just a helpless kid, he witnessed the incredible power of ninja at war. Now, in a country piecing itself back together, ninja no longer fight on the streets—but in a special arena known as the Octagon.** Although ninja are now disgraced, they are the only ones with the power to wield the mighty Tatara stones. The Octagon is about to be shaken up when Trash crashes the tournament, ready to fight his way to the top. Will he be able to wield a Tatara stone, or will its corrosive aura kill him before he can throw a single punch? Illustrated by master manga-ka Hiroyuki Takei—creator of Shaman King—with art assistance by Jet Kusamura, and lettering by Eisner Award-nominated Steve Dutro (Monster, 21st Century Boys, I Am a Hero). Co-created and co-written by Aidan White and Will Carter in collaboration with Hiroyuki Takei, this American-Japanese collaboration will follow a right-to-left reading order and is unlike anything else in the world of fight comics!
