Delete Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/10/25/the-return-of-dragon-ball/ Crank up the Bleeding Cool servers folks. This morning we received word that Shueisha Publishing Company of Tokyo has convinced legendary manga creator Akira Toriyama to come back and restart the Dragon Ball comics franchise. Dragon Ball (also known as Dragon Ball Z) is one of the most lucrative comic book franchises in the world. Initially serialised from 19984 to 1995 in Shonen Jump, it has spun off successful animated TV series and films. It has sold well over 150 million copies of the collected volumes. But since then, the creator has only returned to the well for comics once, for a one-off crossover with One Piece. His other works have been shorter, more personal pieces, though he has continues to oversee new animations, and his studio are working on a Dragon Ball Online MMORG for release soon. And it’s in that environment that Akira Toriyama has been persuaed to return to creating new chapters. Partly to help promote the game, partly to earn the boat load of cash he has been promised.

dc20willsave Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Wait, wait. Maybe when they make the inevitable anime it will blow GT right out of continuity. So, it might not be all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
