Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

[RandomGuy96]

I'd probably give DBM a... well, let's be generous and not count most of the specials, so a 6 out of 10, and I freely admit that five of those points come from the art, and the last point comes from Zen Buu.

[Fionordequester]

I dunno, I'd give it a 7/10. The slow pace, the way it's constantly changing perspectives to characters we don't really care all that much for, the sometimes stilted translation (it honestly reminds me a bit of how FFVII got at times, even though I honestly thought that it wasn't GENERALLY a bad localization), and the fluctuating art quality stink, but when it hits a home run, it definitely hits a home run. Plus, I like the humor, as it's generally funny, has lots of clever callbacks to the manga, and feels a lot like Dragon Ball in spirit.

[Tzigi]

Its not the artists of the specials that need that much time. Its the artists of the main story.

But we no longer have an artist of the main story that needs breaks, because we have a different artist per-chapter now. The specials aren't needed at this point.

Wrong. At the moment Asura is the artist of the main story.

Spoiler:

ATM Asura is stepping in Gogeta’s shoes as main artist but there is no guarantee he’ll be in for the long run. Salagir is very satisfied with him and said he is fast and talented. As a matter of fact, Asura is doing the next main chapter (after the flashback one).

Oh, I didn't know that. OK then.

I wonder if they will ever get Rogeru (think I spelled that right) who currently draws Dragonball EX for Sebliet. His stuff is up there with Asura, Gogeta Jr., and the AF authors Toyble and Young Jijii.

I doubt he would be available since, you know... he draws DBEX.

Well yeah I figured that much. We dont know how long EX is gonna go (or at least I dont) so Multiverse may still be running long after EX finishes. If that ever happens to be the case, it would be cool to see Rogeru come in and draw for Multiverse as well.

Personally, i give it 6.5 out of 10, it`s kinda like GT, great scenario, with plenty plotholes, wasted potential in many specials (With few exceptions, it just show massacre of Z-Warriors, and Bardock/Raichi Specials dragged so much, even more than Garlic Jr. Saga), and, like in GT, random changes in power levels for scenario sakes.

A shame Salagir didnt include SSJ4.

[TheGmGoken]

I'll give it a 6/10 as well. Decent plot. Just badly made IMO. Some of the shit they come up though while cool just doesn't feel Dragonball and the dialog doesn't seem Dragonball most of the time. Especially Bardock's................

[Malik_DBNA]

For me, I rank it about a 7/10. At first, the dialogue was VERY Dragon Ball. The scenario just seemed like something very post-Z. It felt authentic.

I do agree with some that it seems to drag on. The tournament sagas in the original manga seemed to flow a little better. I think the main problem in this tournament was the inclusion of too many participants. Before a bunch of the fighters dropped out, there would have been likely dozens more matches. Bardock's visions have shown what the crisi facing everyone are, but the pacing of the comic is dividing the attention. It seems like there are many storylines happening at once, and the main plot has been lost in the shuffle. Its the Spiderman 3 syndrome. Too many minor storylines affecting the main one. And while I do agree that some of the special chapters really didn't need to happen, I feel that they are part of the overall storyline, and should not really be excluded. Now, that isn't to say I disagree with people's assertion that they shouldn't be as frequent. it seems like the comic has been paced to have two special chapters for every one main chapter, & I think that should be reversed, but maybe thats just me.

Besides these minor issues, I find DBM to be quite enjoyable. The different what if scenarios, powers, and matches are quite entertaining. As long as decent art accompanies the story, there really isn't too much wrong with it besides the aforementioned issues of myself and others

Really wish you didnt mention Spider Man 3. Now all I can picture is Bardock in a suit whispering "Tango with me" while doing pelvic thrusts.

Poor Cold, let him dream, he will find out soon enough, when Goku massacre Freeza with just one punch. Raichi will have difficult time beating Vegeta. That 1st panel kinda remind me when Jeice was angry at Recoom for raise dust.

[Scarz]

I absolutely love the dialogue on this page!

And since we're throwing number ratings around, DBM for me gets a 7/10 from me. Sometimes it jitters on the edge of eight but something would happen in the story that would knock it down a peg for me. I like the story, the art can be very impressive at times, and it's the one of the very few fan mangas I keep up with.

[RandomGuy96]

Predictable.

So, how strong is Raichi supposed to be again?

[Marco Polo]

That art OMG. This page is flawless

[TheGmGoken]

Stronger than Freeza

[Gyt Kaliba]

Darn, I was still kinda rooting for Bardock. But it'll be interesting to see who ends up almost killing Cold.

...This actually makes me wonder if Cold will actually be so injured as to need technological enhancements like his sons did in other universes. He appeared to have all of his parts in Bardock's prediction, but you never know.

Great art though, and I believe we've had it confirmed that this artist is doing the next main chapter too? If so, woohoo!

[TonyTheTiger]

I've seen enough. I'm calling it. Asura > Gogeta Jr. Which is no slight against Gogeta Jr., mind you. Just that there are times that Asura's work actually looks better than even some official material. The ideal scenario would be Gogeta Jr. returns to the main story on the condition that he and Asura split the drawing duties so neither of them gets burned out.
