Dragon Ball Multiverse Chapter 4



You see a lot of people in the forums arguing about the rules in DBM, even though Gogeta Jr and Salagir handily put them on display. 

Rating: 8/10


This issue begins in the fight between Recoome and Nail. The art of this issue seems better than the last few, with dynamic lines and a good usage of the glow of their aura and ki to emphasise the movement and power present in the fight between these two warriors. It serves them well, as the fight is well constructed and it’s definitely got the most detail out of any of this issues fights. After the fight between Nail and Recoome, there’s a match between Cooler of universe 8 against Trunks of universe 12. Aside from handily showcasing Trunks’s power, the fight serves to reveal that the audience members are all protected by a force field.



Next, we’re given the funniest match yet, the Vegeta we know and love of universe 18, vs his savage monarchical counterpart of universe 10. Vegeta characteristically doesn't give a damn; he’s only waiting to see if he’ll end up fighting Goku! As the match begins we quickly see that King Vegeta is no match for his other self, being unable to turn Super Saiyan. After being mocked for his lack of power and ‘ridiculous’* goatee, he turns into a great ape to try sway the battle in his favour, but it is to no avail.

The final match is Bardock of universe 10 against Pan of universe 18. It ends exactly how you think it would!

This was a nice issue, with better art than the last few, and a good use of exposition through art and action, rather than dialogue If only the original Anime had thought to do as much! (Har Har). The only mistake? They had three Vegeta’s (Vegetae?) in one page, and nary an ‘over 9000′ joke was uttered!

*Personally I think it looks ridiculously awesome!Edit: Originally written for and published on Comikkazee.
