Dragon Ball (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 1: Includes vols. 1, 2 3 by Akira ToriyamaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I can't help but be very disappointed with this book. My kids are fans of Dragon Ball Super, I grew up on Dragon Ball Z but never got round to watching the original. After reading the beginning I was glad I missed it. It was not till issue 14 that anything I liked from the series was even shown.
There is more innuendo then action in this book. The story is very slow moving, the art work is great. I like a couple of in "breaking the 4 wall" speech, and in fairness the books started to get a lot better from round about issues 14. There were still silly parts here but they were fewer after this issue. I am glad I bought the 3 on 1 as I probably would have given up on this if I only had the first volume. Each volume contains 12 issues/episodes. At the back there is a cover gallery containing 36 covers.
Unless you desperately want to see the first meeting between Goku and some of his (later to be) best friends I would skip most of the first volume. I don't understand why Goku was so small in the book. He is supposed to be 14 but look like a 6 year old and is sillier then a 2 year old. Hope the the next volume builds on the fact test the later issues were better and go not decide to go backwards.
