Summary: A very good manga with a very good story
Review: As an avid dragonball manga fan, I can safely say that this is perhaps the best dragonball [z] manga to date. The story, as anyone who read the summary will know, is when Son Goku lands on planet namek (after an intense training session in space), and then proceeds to save his friends and smack around the ginyu force. I won't go into to much detail, but the real prize of this manga is the accuracy of the dialogue. Since many American DBZ fans have only seen the pathetic, butchered, counterpart episodes on TV (Put out by our friends at FUNimation), this shows what Dragonball was intended to be. The language (while far and few between) is maintained, and all the frames are left undoctered (even a four-year old Son Gohan being smacked around by the evil Ricum).

While Dragonball fans will certainly see the beauty of this wonderful manga, non-dragonball fans will appreciate it too, with excellent fight scenes on par with Ryoichi Ikegami's (Crying Freeman, Samurai Crusader) fight scenes[as far as clarity goes].

Any manga fan should buy this. It will not dissapoint.

Summary: A fine example of Toriyama's
Review: I found this manga enjoyable however short. I really wish they could compile the Dragonball comics like they did for Akira.
The artwork is in my oppinion, Akira Toriyamas (Ha I just got it---"Tori" (japanese for bird) and "Yama" (mountion), or otherwise his company's name, "Bird Studio")best in the whole series, (not including the origional series wich is paradoxically better) and it is obviouse that he has here had a change in styles. If you notice he draws the charecters bodys more realisticly and less blocky. All I can say is, if your thinking of buying any of the dragonball manga, be sure that you dont overlook this one.

Review: The seven wish-granting Dragon Balls are in the hands of evil emperor Freeza! To stop him from becoming immortal, Gohan and Kuririn and their unlikely ally Vegeta must defeat the remaining Ginyu Force, the four greatest fighters in the galaxy. But it doesn't look good. Once again, our outmatched heroes face incredible odds in a fight for dear life and their only hope is hurtling towards them on a spaceship with an interior pressure of 100 Gs! The mysterious and strangely changed Son Goku is on his way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am so cool
Review: This book was one of the best in the series. It fetures the battle with the goofy but strong ginyu force. If you enjoy the show you will love seeing it in its original Magna(Japanese comic) formate! Also this book is the first in the series to show Goku fight after his 100times Gravity trianing It is a must buy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dragon Ball Z Vol.8
Review: This is a good one! I don't like it as much as some other ones, but it's good! I reccomend buying it. All I can really tell yu without spoiling it is that it's about when they fight the Ginyu force!
