oooooo aaaahhhhh.......2006-04-26

Do yourself a favor and read the first five before finishing off one of the most incredible series of all time. enjoy

five stars purely for the art.......2006-02-28

This is probably the sickest display of comic artistry I have ever seen; just take a look at the last phase of Neo-Tokyo's destruction, one can only imagine the countless hours Mr. Otomo must have spent on each building. Dizzying in its scope and sheer level of detail. Absolutely stunning. Would reccommend anyone who has any desire to illustrate to at least pick a copy up at your local Barnes and Nobles, if only to see how awesome a graphic novel can really look with some dedication.

The end of THE epic!.......2003-06-20

Wow! Akira has finally ended. Some twenty years after Otomo got the Akira project started, it still remains as one of the greatest tales of our time.
From the beginning of this 400+ page book to its end it is well written, drawn, and presented. We learn what is to come of Tsteuo, Noe-Tokyo, and the universe. The ending is very unclear and ambiguous, but it really shows the status of the entire story.
Otomo has given us a beautiful masterpiece that needs not to be forgotten. Long live AKIRA!

Wow..........2002-09-05

The only other Akira book I have read is Book 2 (though I am attempting to rectify this situation) so when I came to this book, although I knew the basic storyline and the characters, I still had quite a few gaps. It didn't matter. This book was dramatic, powerful and eerie. The drawings are excellent and it's an amazing finale to the story.
Part of the reason I was so impressed with this was that although the story is sci-fi/apocalyptic, Otomo has not (unlike quite a few others writing in this genre) neglected character development and complexity. I don't want to give away the story, but I'll just say a lot of this book made me cry - and not a lot of things do that.
The ending is...ambiguous, and pretty poignant - something about Tokyo rising from the ruins still gives me a lump in my throat. I disagree with those who say it's a cop-out, or too weird - it suited the book, and it was such a contrast to all that had happened.
The only reason I took a star off is that sometimes there's too much violence for my taste, and also I found the expulsion of the soldiers at the end sort of weird. But this may simply be due to my lack of knowledge of the other books.
Overall, I would recommend this book HIGHLY, but do read the others first. It can only enhance your enjoyment of this one.

Compelling.......2002-07-11

All in all, the book is a satisfying read. It leaves some of the mysteries open, like whatever happens to that mega-psychic boy Akira, and what's with Kaneda, Kei, and their motorbike gang with the ruined Tokyo.
It is both satisfying and saddening to see a good story ends, yet I would rather see it end there than be dragged on and on as in the case of many other comic books.

THE GINYU FORCE'S GRAND DEBUT!!!.......2006-12-08

The VIZ translation is much more acurate then the FUNimation dub. The Ginyu force's names are Burter, Jeice, Recoome, and Guldo in the dub, but they are spelled Butta, Jheese, Reacoom, and Gurd in the manga. As for the story, it picks up where volume 6 left of, with Kuririn meeting the Great Elder for the first time. If you want to know what happens, read the book.

Book Description

Here comes another Dragon Ball Z adventure, currently the number one show on the Cartoon Network. As the battle of Namek turns the entire planet into a fireball, Goku shows mercy to his opponent Freeza; but the would-be ruler of the universe is ungrateful. Awaiting Goku's return to Earth, the heroes are shocked to find Freeza's spaceship hurtling toward them, with the evildoer vowing to destroy the planet! Meanwhile, the mysterious warrior Trunks appears from the future, with an alarming message!

Customer Reviews:

Jared's review.......2006-03-22

I enjoyed this book, but thought it could be a little bit longer. I liked the part where Freeza got sliced up by his own energy disk. The best warrior in the universe did suicide!!! It was fun reading for any Dragon Ball Z fans.

First Appearance of the BEST DBZ character.......2005-01-17

Freeza has escaped Namek and is coming to Earth. With Goku not back from Namek yet, the Z-fighters know that things are hopeless, yet they decide to die fighting. Our heroes are in more trouble than they thought. Another power, strong like Freeza's is coming to earth. It is Freeza's father, King Cold. Will Goku come back to a planet riddled with destruction?

As the Z-fighters believe that it is truly hopeless now, a mysterious boy wearing a Capsule Corporation jacket comes from nowhere to challenge Freeza and King Cold. What is he thinking? The only way he can have a chance is by turning into a Super Saiyan, and there is no way that can happen. Whoops. Spoke too soon. Trunks has turned into a Super Saiyan. As the heroes rejoice to the defeat of the evil in the universe, it is cut short by the boy's prediction of doom. The Red Ribbon Androids want revenge against Goku for stopping the plans for world domination held by the Red Ribbon Army (see Dragon Ball 5-8).
Can three years of training be enough to stop the Androids that destroyed Trunks' timeline?

#12 lives up to the name Dragonball Z.......2004-07-16

This book,(like the other 11 before it) is amazing. However their is one bad thing about this book... it's the last one that I need to complete my set because after this book, all of the rest of them are in shonen jump (which I also highly recommend). So now that I have 1-12 I have decided to start reading dragonball. If Dragonball is ANYTHING like the Dragonball Z manga then it must be amazing. All there is else to say is congratulations Akira Toriyama for such an amazing creation!

DBZ #12 is the best!.......2003-10-20

This might be my favorite DBZ manga yet since Trunks is my favorite character. It starts when Freiza's gets cut in half and Goku nearly escapes Planet Nameks distruction. After that Frezia appears with King Cold. Just in time Trunks shows up and destroys Freiza and his father. Goku comes back and Trunks tells him that he came from the future and about the androids. Read it! The manga is much better than the TV show.

He's heeeeerrrrrrreeeeeee!.......2003-09-14

Mirai no Trunks, or Future Trunks, shows up in the new DBZ volume, making the coolest character debut in any anime or manga in existence! The Frieza saga finally ends, and the Androids/Cell saga begin with this volume, as Trunks gives Goku a warning of danger(ps, that's also the title of a DBZ song). So, the Z-senshi, including Kuririn, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Chaozu, who all come back from the dead in this volume, train for three years. What will they face?! Will the training be enough? Find out, as the sequel to the original DB Red Ribbon Army story begins!

So get ready people here comes the sayion. But who are the sayions and why are they evil. Find out when you read Dragonballz.

The best of the series!.......2004-02-11

This book is my favorite of the Dragonball Z books I have read so far. It has one of the best battles in all of the series as Vegeta and Goku test each others limits. Each time Vegeta seems to be beaten he comes back from the dead. This is probably the first truly great battle of the series. Finally, vegeta is defeated when Gohan transforms into a giant ape and then falls on him. You should definitely buy the first four books of the series as they set the stage for the adventures to come.

this is a masterpeice.......2004-09-20

The Dragon Ball Z manga is a piece of art and should be in every collector's hands. This DBZ #2 is actually Dragon Ball #18 of 42, but this part of the story is fine to begin with; backstory is not a problem if you have read DBZ Vol. 1, and since DBZ is a different stage of the lives of the characters. It is 190 pages of fun and wonder. Besides, for only (...) why would anyone pass up this opportunity? I guarantee this story will have you hooked. (...)

BUY IT!BUY IT!BUY IT!.......2003-12-25

Whoa!!I bought this book with #3 at a Borders in Maine and when I read it at home-WOO-HOO!!!Now I've only read volumes 1-4[which I own,they rock!],but I think this is the best DBZ volume ever!!!(At least 'til Gotenks comes out)=)BY the way,there will be 26 DBZ volumes total.

Dragon Ball Z Vol.2.......2003-06-19

This is the best DBZ yet (although, DB is better than DBZ)!!!! The Saiyans are coming to Earth and everyone is training! You get to see some fighting too. I reccomend buying it!!!!!!!!!

In the newest entry in the enduring Dragon Ball series, the Strongest Under the Heavens tournament rages on, and already Yamcha has been eliminated. In the battle between the smallest fighters of the Turtle and Crane schools, Kuririn pits his kamehameha against the Dodon-pa blast of Chaozu. Things really heat up when the match between Jackie Chun and Tenshinhan becomes a battle of ideology rather than strength.

The manga magazine SHONEN JUMP brings a never-before-seen volume of Dragon Ball to America. This one begins in the midst of the 22nd "Tenkaichi Budokai" fighting tournament. At the start, cool bald-headed Kuririn is fighting the single-haired, doll-like Chaozu. Kuririn defeats him with an unusual method, but you'll have to read the book to find out what it is.
Later, the three-eyed Tenshinhan goes up against the impostor Jackie Chun (no relation to Jackie Chan). After Chun's stunning defeat, the half-monkey main character, Goku, must fight Tenshinhan.
The next fight is surprising. The "two best friends being forced to fight each other" theme is common in manga, but this time around, it's more interesting.
This book combines astounding battle action with a dollop of humor...Not only that, but this is probably the most clean book of the entire Dragon Ball series...DB Volume 11 is an excellent book for anyone who loves manga.
