According to the Anime News Network, Dark Horse Manga has acquired the rights to publish Kouta Hirano's new Manga Drifters. Kouta Hirano is the author of the gothic horror frenzy Hellsing. This new Manga deals with historical figures such as Anastasia Romanov, Joan of Arc, the Wild Bunch gang and Oda Nobunaga, who upon their deaths are transported to another dimension where they are recruited by two opposing forces composed of fantasy creatures to wage war. I've read some of it online, I'd highly recommend it and I can't wait for this series to be released.
