That's the issue. At this point, I'd be surprised if they finish the run in the next ten years, so in my opinion, it's just not a product worth investing in.JohnnyCashKami wrote:The Full Color comics are pricey but we've got to remember it's a premium product, the paper quality is fantastic and the pages all in color look absolutely magnificent. I just find it hard to buy them right now cause Viz is taking way too long.
I don't want to buy the Freeza arc and then wait a year or more for the Cell arc. And then wait yet again for Majin Boo's arc and not to forget, the Boyhood arc.
Seriously, Viz should either speed it up or cancel as this is just a tease leaving fans not knowing when we can expect more of Full Color comics.
That's fair. If you prefer print and/or want colour, VizBigs are the way to go. You made a solid choice.NewKakarot wrote:I do have that Shonen Jump subscription, but they lack the colored chapters.

It would, of course, be much cheaper to get the $2/month Shounen Jump service from Viz, which includes all of Dragon Ball, though in black and white. Though apparently it uses the earliest print masters from the individual volumes, so it's got the most minimal censorship you can get in the Dragon Ball manga.
I calculated this a while back...NewKakarot wrote:It's been 2 years since they finished the Frieza arc. But I did some quick research and saw that they also took 2 years to release them after the Saiyan arc. So maybe they take 2 year breaks in between? No idea why they would do that, but maybe they'll start the Androids Arc this year.
Even so, that'll take a while. And then it would likely be another 2 years for the Boo Arc. I wouldn't want to wait so long.
At the rate Viz put these things out, I estimated that without any additional hiatuses(Like we've been in for the past half-year
), they wouldn't have the whole run out until 2028.Given Cell didn't begin releasing in 2018, though, and given we have no announcement yet, I imagine the earliest we'll see Cell begin is 2020. That pushes my entire predictive schedule back 2 years, putting the end of the run to 2030, or if they decide not to release the Boyhood and Piccolo volumes, then 2026, with the release of the last Boo volume. Though technically speaking, it'd more likely be very early 2027(As in like January), given their established pattern.
I imagine if Viz do indeed decide to finish Full Colour, they'll be taking their time to figure out a way to get it relased on a more sensible timeframe(Apparently the main hold-up all along has been Shueisha dragging their feet on the licensing). Perhaps they'll release them in sets of two arcs; Cell in 2020-2021, Boyhood & Piccolo in 2023-2024.
