A Comic Book Reading Order Guide For Beginners & Fans
You know how Dragon Ball is ostensibly about Goku, a lovably stupid monkey man and hilariously flawed father, getting into fun fights for our enjoyment but occasionally the narrative goes out of its way to keenly remind you that everyone on Goku’s planet died and he’s the last line of Earth’s defense against legitimate cosmic horrors?
