so i figured it was about time that i read dragon ball because it's my duty as an asian person to at least know about this stupid little comic / anime series.

i say stupid only cause my main exposure to this series is from the anime dragon ball z which plays on the cartoon network. it's nothing more then various big looking guys grimacing all the time with very little action. when you think bout it the series is like a body builder's contest where all they do is flex - or in dragon ball z 'power up' or some crap like that.

so anyways - back to the series. i got all the series (well most of them) and started reading them from issue one. and to my surprise the first few issues are actually entertaining where humor is the genre of the books. it's silly yes, but it was very entertaining - then the story started taking a more serious turn and next thing you know it's all about fighting - booo....

so my recommendation - if you're even mildly interested only read the first story arc - basically up to volume 5, after that it starts to become more about flexing... not very interesting.
