Samuel L. Jackson is Writing a Comic Book, starring Sam Jackson!

Samuel L. Jackson, greatest human that isn’t Clint Eastwood, is co-writing a comic for Boom! Studios with Eric Calderon, whom if you didn’t know already, thus losing my respect, is one of the writers of the greatest anime of all time: Afro Samurai. Not only that, But Jackson’s likeness will be used for the protagonist of the book.

Most celebrity comics are shit, but Sam Jackson is so awesome that he could probably fuck your mother, take Polaroid’s of the act and then give them to you, and you’d ask him to autograph them so you can place them in the frame that once held you child’s first photo. Here’s the rundown of the book “Cold Space,” according to Robot
6:

COLD SPACE #1
(W) Samuel L. Jackson, Eric Calderon (A) Jeremy Rock

From legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson and Emmy nominated writer/producer Eric Calderon, the team that brought you the Emmy-award-winning, best-selling Afro Samurai, comes their next original series — Cold Space! When an on-the-run outlaw crash-lands on a hostile planet on the brink of civil war, he finds himself caught in the crossfire between two warring factions. But in chaos lies
opportunity… because where there’s war, there’s money to be made! A hard-boiled sci-fi action-adventure with covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Dave Johnson and Irredeemable cover artist, Jeffrey Spokes!
32pgs, FC $3.99

Bad. Ass. Jackson had nothing to do with “The Ultimates” but Millar and Hitch used his likeness for Nick Fury because they thought he was the coolest man alive, just like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did when they first made Nick Fury and modeled him after Dean Martin. Jackson was only involved in “The Ultimates” in likeness only, which he enthusiastically gave permission to do so, and “The Ultimates” was one of the most awesome books ever made, so awesome in fact that Nick Fury has become synonymous with Jackson. Don’t believe me, watch “Wolverine and the X-Men,” does Fury look more like Martin or Jackson?

Jackson will be blowing your mind later this year, be grateful Polaroid will soon be out of business.
