New Yorker Darren H. was the sole cosplayer paying tribute to Afro Samurai at New York Comic-Con, which he didn't expect. "I like the comics, so I decided to do this -- but I'm surprised that there's not more people doing this."

Takashi Okazaki's manga Afro Samurai was recently picked up by Seven Seas Manga / Tor Books as one of their first joint releases. Look for the first volume to hit bookstores in September 2008.
