Exclusive Dragon Ball Z Anime Coverage Blasts into NEO Magazine Issue 98
THE UK'S ANIME, manga and Asian pop culture magazine is going super saiyan over the release of Dragon Ball Z this summer.
The classic 90s anime not only leaps on to the cover of NEO#98, out 17 May, but is also accompanied by an exclusive, in-depth feature on the series; including a guide to its extensive cast, an overview of the franchise and an A4 poster to celebrate its long awaited arrival on DVD!
NEO also delves head first into the world of the MCM Expo, revealing both NEO's and other companies' plans for the event taking over London at the end of May, as well as details on NEO's Saturday night afterparty! Avid shoppers can also take advantage of generous money off vouchers, including 50% off at Viz Media's stand at the comic con.
