Sci-Fi martial arts action!

After years of training and adventure, Goku has become Earth's ultimate warrior. And his son, Gohan, shows even greater promise. But the stakes are increasing as even deadlier enemies threaten the planet. DRAGON BALL Z is the ultimate science fiction-martial arts manga.

While Goku races towards Earth along the million-kilometer Serpent Road, the world's mightiest martial artists make their last stand against alien invaders determined to wipe out the human race! Piccolo. Gohan, Kuririn, Tenshinhan and Chaozu struggle five-to-one against Nappa, only to find their opponents' power is greater than they ever dreamed. Their last chance is Goku...but can he get there in time? And is even he, and the miraculous Kaiô-ken, a match for Nappa's commander Vegeta?

Review

"The runaway hit of the Cartoon Network . . . It's easy to see why Dragon Ball Z is going to be the headlining title of Shonen Jump."

About the Author

Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. He is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include COWA!, Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a children's book, Toccio the Angel. He lives with his family in Japan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Printing

This is the best printing of Dragon Ball that I've read. The translation is among the very best, the page/print quality is definitely there, it has a few select colored chapters and an awesome cover gallery at the end.

*It's thick, but you won't crack the spine unless you read quite heavy handedly.

Received this as a Christmas present (I know, late review, it's June!) Book is fantastic though. I mean, it's DBZ, difficult to go wrong (unless of course your name is Goku in which case A. You're awesome and B. You procrastinate saving the world...a lot. Inadvertently though.) The book I received was brand new, arrived promptly & as a total surprise. Definitely will be purchasing more in the future (different volumes, probably. This one is pretty darn good though....) Kamehameha!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal for three manga from Akira Toriyama's magnum opus
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
Because of the resurgence of DBZ's popularity in the states (DBZ Abridged, Battle of the Gods, Dragonball Kai, Rock the Dragon, SH Figuarts from Bandai) I wish that Viz would reprint all of the Dragonball Z VIZBIG for the growing or re-interested fanbase. Some of the volumes are being resold for obscene amounts of money, I've seen some go for over 100 dollars both on Amazon and eBay! Luckily I did not have to pay for a price-scalped volume of DBZ VIZBIG. Reading the manga gives new perspective on Toriyama's familiar tale, and also since all of the artwork is his own, it's interesting to compare it to some of the artwork used in the anime. I recommend any fan of DBZ to read the manga, and VIZBIG is probably the easiest way to get into it. If people buy more of these wonderful volumes, hopefully Viz will reprint them!
