On cover 20, it looks like King Piccolo is wishing for gigantic boobs.

Old Piccolo on #19 is the wrong shade green. He should be darker.
but that's just me nitpicking
They look great.

I totally don't remember Piccolo Daimou being lime green; but they're still nice covers.
I can't wait til they get to the 23rd Budoukai!
On hiatus.

Heh, nice observation Tanooki...
Actually, is it just me or does King Piccolo look scarier on the nineteenth cover. Wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley... or in an alley during the day. Really anywhere cause the dude gives me the jiblies.

The covers look amazing. I still haven't gotten around to buying one of these volumes...I suck.

I think Piccolo looks like crap on all three covers... Not to mention that horrible shade of green that they chose...

Hey, we're almost done with DB. Yay. Now they can start doing the movies, so I can finally get the first DB movie in Japanese.

Well, they'll probably do GT first if they keep going in the same order they released the Dragon Boxes, but at this rate, that will only take four months to completely release. I'd guess we'll probably get both GT and the movies as singles by the end of 2008.

So much green!
Awesome cover art as always, but I would've liked someone other than King Piccolo to be on those covers. Maybe the Mafuba with either Tenshinhan or Roshi? Heck, even Snow and #8 at the hospital would've been a breath of fresh air. But it's his saga, so I guess the whole Piccolo-centric thing makes sense.
Also, this new art style really doesn't do Piccolo justice. I guess the artists just weren't used to having someone so wrinkly (or green)? And yeah, the old Piccolo is way too bright. I don't usually complain about something like colors, but his shade of green while still old is a pretty dark green.

Personally, I *love* the Dragon Ball covers more than the DBZ ones. The layout is just fantastic and the art is absolutely awesome.

These covers are classy, but I did prefer the DBZ singles.

What we really need are the subtitles to the first DB movie. I could time them if someone would get translations done. Then you could just buy that disc and add them yourselves.
