So Dragon Ball Super Volume 2 is at least more steadily paced than when it rocketed (and skipped) through the first two arcs of the series in Volume 1, though it still cuts out all dialogue and scenes that dont give the chapters wall-to-wall action. Probably best viewed as a side dish to the animes main course, rather than the sole way to experience these new story arcs from Akira Toriyama. Either way though, the great artwork deserves praise, and its fun to read, so long as you dont want much story in your fight scenes! Read Full Review

Universe 6 & 7 tournament continues! Goku continues to advance in the tournament and fights with a fighter identical to Frieza. The fighter even possess the same transformations and powers! The conclusion of the tournament results in the ultimate prize, The Super Dragon Balls!

Warriors from Universe 6 are defeated by Son Goku and friends. These bouts come alive with the art work, serious tone of the fights and playful banter. An unexpected twist leaves Universe 7, Son Goku & Friends, atop of the tournament when their most powerful warrior delivers the final blow to win. However, it’s not Son Goku I’m referring too! Elsewhere, Future Trunks stumbles for his life in his timeline before returning to 17 years in the past in search of help from Son Goku & friends. Trunks reveals the new threat to his world is in fact Goku! Lord Whies and Beerus continue to deliver! Easily my two favorite characters of Super to this point. Sadly, Piccolo has been reduced to a walking punchline. Nonetheless, the humor and action mesh to create effective plot and character development.
