Viz Media license JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood manga

Thanks to the success of its latest anime adaptation, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has become a hot property outside of Japan of late, and as a result Viz Media have now jumped in and licensed the first story arc of the original manga series in English for the first time.

Thus, the first volume of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Part One - Phantom Blood (no, that isn't a typo, they really are calling it JoJo's Bizarre Adventures) will be released in February 2015 in the US, complemented its previous releases of the franchise's third story arc, Stardust Crusaders, which was reprinted by the publisher last month.

Viz Media have also promised further JoJo's Bizarre Adventure related news at next month's Anime Expo in the US, so keep your eyes peeled for that!  Will you be looking forward to picking up more of this series in its original manga form? Let us know in the comments.
