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]

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.
