Namco acquires rights to publish Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai

The US division of Namco announced that it has acquired the publishing rights to Afro Samurai; GDH’s hip-hop samurai infused manga. The deal permits Namco to publish two games over the next five years. In addition to these games, Afro Samurai will become an animated mini-series with Samuel L. Jackson signed on as lead voice actor and co-producer—a live-action film is also in the works.

Sounds cool! I wouldn't mind reading this manga or owning the mini-series. Samuel L. Jackson was an excellent choice.
