Here’s a quote:

Afro Samurai is chock full of action, as page after page of combat flies by. This would be great – if only I could actually see all of that frantic activity. The panels are so dark and murky it’s difficult to decipher what’s going on, except for when someone’s head goes flying off into the distance…

After you read her review, be sure to check out a preview of the Afro Samurai Manga (13 pages worth). Here’s a quick breakdown of the story, from the publisher:

In the bleak world of the swordsman, it is said that he who becomes the No. 1 samurai shall rule the world. And only No.2 is allowed to challenge No.1. Afro Samurai has assumed the mantle of No. 2, seeking vengeance against No.1, a gunman who killed his father years ago. But assassins lurk at every corner, seeking to rob Afro Samurai of the title of No. 2. Can Afro survive long enough to exact his revenge?

What do you think about Afro Samurai in manga form? Do you like him better than the anime?
