Get ready to swing into action with Shadow Warrior: A Spider-Man Manga by Shogo Aoki. It’s out September 16, 2025 from Graphix and for readers and is intended for middle grade readers, ages 8 to 12. The manga features new takes on iconic characters, including a reimagined Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Gwen Stacy, who travel to feudal Japan to take on Kingpin.

Travel to a parallel universe where the shogunate still rules Japan and the evil Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, has fled America to establish himself as Governor of Edo. Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Ghost-Spider are hot on his trail. But the Kingpin has a trick up his sleeve—he’s brought an alien parasite capable of granting extraordinary powers. When a young man named Hyo accidentally bonds with the symbiote and seemingly transforms into the infamous Venom, things go from bad to worse! Shadow Warrior is perfect for manga and super-hero fans alike!
