VIZ sent out a press release last night announcing that they’re going to work with Greg Oden (left)– who happens to be a member of my home team, the Portland Trailblazers –to promote literacy. They’ll be donating copies of their upcoming release of Takehiko Inoue’s classic basketball manga Slam Dunk to Oden’s charity of choice, Oregon Mentors.

Oden will be joined by a pair of the Los Angeles Laker Girls at San Diego Comic Con for autographs and fan-greeting, as well as early copies of Slam Dunk.
