It’s been over ten years since I’ve read Dragon Ball, and I was very excited to pick it up again. The first issue has the first 11 chapters in it and I would say they were very enjoyable. I like the characters of Bulma and Goku a lot from the start. I found most of the humor to be on point. There was alot more sex jokes then I remember and while I don’t mind it that much, I’m happy he stops doing it as much as the series goes on. At least as far as I recall. There is not a ton of action in this first issue it’s more humor then action. I had a lot of fun reading the first issue and am excited to read on.
