Product Description

The ultimate science fiction martial arts manga – and one of the best-selling series of all time – Dragon Ball Z is the second half of Toriyama’s touchstone saga, Dragon Ball. After years of training and adventure, Son Goku has become Earth’s ultimate warrior, and his son, Gohan, shows even greater promise. But the strikes are increasing as even deadlier enemies threaten the planet – and means non-stop action!

With the mighty Kaiô-ken amplifying his strength, Goku fights Vegeta in a desperate battle to save the world--only to find that the elite Saiyan warrior is even stronger than his new techniques! In desperation, Goku calls upon the Genki-dama, the "spirit ball," drawing power from the Earth, its people, plants, and animals. But alone, even Goku is not enough. The last worn-out survivors, Gohan, Kuririn, and Yajirobe, must rush back into the fray to beat the unbeatable Vegeta...as their enraged foe vows to not only wipe out the human race, but destroy the planet Earth itself!

Great Deal!
Not much to say other than it's a great buy. If you buy in a bookstore you're probably stuck paying retail.
As far as content my son loves anything to do with Dragon Ball Z.

BUY IT!BUY IT!BUY IT!
Whoa!!I bought this book with #3 at a Borders in Maine and when I read it at home-WOO-HOO!!!Now I've only read volumes 1-4[which I own,they rock!],but I think this is the best DBZ volume ever!!!(At least 'til Gotenks comes out)=)BY the way,there will be 26 DBZ volumes total.

this is a masterpeice
The Dragon Ball Z manga is a piece of art and should be in every collector's hands. This DBZ #2 is actually Dragon Ball #18 of 42, but this part of the story is fine to begin with; backstory is not a problem if you have read DBZ Vol. 1, and since DBZ is a different stage of the lives of the characters. It is 190 pages of fun and wonder. Besides, for only (...) why would anyone pass up this opportunity? I guarantee this story will have you hooked. (...)
