Aidan White, Will Carter Reveal New Manga 'Martial War'

Dana White's son, Aidan White, is launching a new manga project called "Martial War," created alongside Dana White's nephew, Will Carter.

The pair previewed the project at New York Comic Con, appearing together on the podcast Anything But Fighting with host Jose Youngs to discuss the manga for the first time. Aidan White and Will Carter are working on "Martial War" with artist Hiroyuki Takei, known for creating the manga "Shaman King," alongside art assistance from Jet Kusamura and lettering from Eisner Award nominee Steve Dutro.

Who Is Behind Martial War

Aidan White and Will Carter are the names driving the project, pairing their vision with an experienced manga production team. Hiroyuki Takei's involvement gives the book an established manga pedigree, since he built a global following with "Shaman King" before signing on to help bring "Martial War" to life. Jet Kusamura's art assistance and Steve Dutro's lettering round out a team built for an international release built around combat themes.

Why This Matters for Fight Fans

Dana White's family name carries obvious weight in combat sports, and "Martial War" marks a new kind of crossover for that orbit, moving from the cage into comics. The New York Comic Con preview suggests the creative team is treating the rollout seriously, lining up a dedicated media appearance rather than a quiet announcement. No release date or additional plot details have been made public yet.

Fight fans who follow the White family off the canvas now have a new property to watch, even if the fighting here stays on the page rather than in the Octagon.
