View Full Version : How would comic writers do DBZ?
Include artists to go with that such as Jim Lee, Mark Bradley, and/or such.
How would they alter or interpret the specific sagas of DBZ, such as:
The Saiyan Saga, The Freeza Saga, The Cell Saga, and/or the Buu Saga.
How would they interpret the powers and strengths of the main characters?
How would they bring along Goku's tranformation levels: Kaioken, SSJ through SSJ 3 (you can include UltraSSJ as well)
Any ideas are welcome.
EDIT: How would the comic artists and writers alter the movies? Besides that, what about the villains.
How would they alter/change their powersets?
Maybe Freeza would be made the main villain of the whole series? Someone else maybe.
Would they augment or nerf anyone in particular? Even Goku?
And again certain artistic styles to take account. Would anyone go *I'll be damned* at a SSJ stylized by Jim Lee? Or Stryzinski?

I thought there was a thread like this a few months back...
Anyway, I'd like to see God knows what Grant Morrison would bring to the table.

Bendis would make it so that there would be 40 minutes of reading between dialogue and fighting. But strangely enough, that won't lengthen the book, as they're just talking while they power up...
Grant Morrison. With him making Batman appear to be Bat-god for one. Wonder what he would do with ANY saga.

Contrary to popular opinion, I think Morrison would write Tenshinhan, rather than Piccolo, in the same vein as J'onn.
That makes for some noteworthy sense. Any more on what he or anyone would do to alter/rewrite the series?

All I know is, the fight scenes wouldn't be half as much fun. I mean, comparing comics and DBZ, at least the latter actually uses their speed and powers nearly all the time... Even when they're just "playing around", it's more a "I'm kicking your ass with my tremendous powers and you can't do anything about it" kind of play, instead of "Oh crap, I just got hit because I forgot I have super speed" kind of playing.
Well, that could be taken for consideration. Still I think it would be made for in some way. Maybe prolonging the saga. Adding anything new for the Z fighters to face out of the ordinary besides powerful fighters and such.

*has just seen the idea of Grant Morrison writing DBZ, and has passed out from a mental orgasm*
I think Walter Simonson can write one hell of a DBZ battle, going by his Orion/Darkseid work. I mean, the force unleashed from them merely charging into each other made nuke like explosions... and that was all on top of some nice finess from both combatants, e.g. martial arts like spinkicks and such.

I'd like to see Joe Casey write it, myself-last time he wrote an aristocratic alien warrior asshole, we got Majestic. I'm sure he could do a pretty nice Vegeta.

If Bendis wrote it it would be about the same in terms of stalling (assuming we're talking about the anime here) except the dialogue would be better.

Yeah, Bendis's wordy dialouge would fit. Also, I've noticed similarities between DBZ and Claremont's X-Men. When in the middle of battles characters may ahve randomly long speeches about their powers. Though Claremont has oodles more sex in his X-Men books, especilly with some kinky bondage and mind control overtones. Hell, just look at the damn Hellfire Club.
