Shonen Jump was a monthly manga anthology magazine published in America by Viz adopting the original Shōnen Jump name and branding from Shueisha in Japan. The magazine included supplemental news reporting and coverage of video and card games, anime, etc. The magazine launched with a special preview "Issue No. 0" in late 2002 ahead of its formal serialization launch with a January 2003 cover date, and ran consistently through its April 2012 issue.
The print magazine was succeeded by Viz's Shonen Jump Alpha online service[1], itself succeeded by a standard Weekly Shonen Jump online series[2], and itself succeeded by a "Digital Vault" online subscription.[3]
History
Following the Pokémon boom in 1998-1999, the respective manga series became the best selling title for Viz; with their newfound success and income, and simultaneously "feeling the heat" from competitors such as Tokyopop and Gutsoon! Entertainment's Raijin Comics, Viz looked to produce a children's print magazine similar to CoroCoro Comic in Japan. The company initially attempted to get the Nintendo license, though they ultimately looked at acquiring Shonen Jump titles from Shueisha.[4]
Viz was a branch of Shogakugan (a rival to Shueisha in Japan, despite the two ultimately being housed under the banner of a common, larger company in Japan); as such, Viz faced difficulties acquiring Jump titles. One of the conditions of Shueisha working with the company was for them to become an owner of Viz.[4]
Prior to launch, Viz solicited ideas for the magazine's name from its staff video email, as having their own (trademarkable) name would be one final remaining bit of individuality from Shueisha; one of the conditions for Viz being able to work with Shueisha was them becoming an owner, a position previously held by Shogakukan. "Manga Typhoon" was a working title at one point, though "Shonen Jump" as-is was ultimately decided shortly before launch.[4]
At the time of its launch, Viz still used a set team of separate translators and script rewriters on each manga series.[4]

Impact on Dragon Ball Serialization and Publication
The launch of Viz's Shonen Jump magazine marked the shift from Dragon Ball's publication in monthly "floppy" comics in March 2003.
Following the launch of the Shonen Jump print magazine, Viz began releasing collected versions of various manga series in a smaller (tankobon-sized) format under the "Shonen Jump" brand label.

Dragon Ball & Akira Toriyama Content
Viz's Shonen Jump magazine picked up with chapter 328 in Dragon Ball's serialization at launch and ran through the end of the Cell arc with chapter ### in the magazine's (what issue?), at which point Dragon Ball became a "Graphic Novel" format-only release from Viz. Akira Toriyama's Sand Land also served as a launch comic and ran through its fourteen chapters, concluding in the February 2004 issue of the magazine.
Even following Dragon Ball's serialization conclusion in the magazine, Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball maintained a large presence in the magazine. Akira Toriyama himself was regularly profiled and featured in the magazine, with interviews original and exclusive to the magazine also appearing at regular intervals. Dr. Slump was previewed in the May 2005 issue in conjunction with Viz's formal release of the series, while Neko Majin Z 5 was translated and included as a bonus in the magazine's October 2007 issue, itself a special "Dragon Ball Collector" issue with special interviews, retrospective coverage, and more.
