Just when you thought Marvel and Dragon Ball couldn’t get any better, someone decides to fuse the two and make pop-culture fans drool. The one behind these epic pieces of artwork is known as Worldsofpivot on Twitter and Suleman on Instagram, which they then released to the world online.

Worldsofpivot has taken one of animes’ most iconic series and has drawn a Marvel style cover version of the manga, meaning this is what Dragon Ball would look like as an American comic. These images have since gone viral all over Twitter and Reddit, with both Dragon Ball and Marvel fans demanding more.
Both images are based on the latest Dragon Ball Super series, with the first piece of art showcasing the original Dragon Ball logo above a powering up Super Saiyan Blue Goku. This comic art is based on Freeza’s return in Dragon Ball Super, with Goku needing to save earth once again from the resurrected villain.
While the second art piece shows the space tyrant Freeza in his new Golden Form, standing above Goku’s injured body, as he would look like as an Americanised comic book villain. This cover is set in the time where Goku and the other Z-fighters discovered just how strong Freeza has become. At this exact moment, it looked as if Freeza was going to win, however, Goku and Vegeta soon discovered Freeza’s weakness.
This is most likely, as close Marvel fans will ever get to see Goku and Freeza in an American style comic book again. Although, with the demanding support for the pieces of art online, it is possible that fans may see more of these Goku comics floating around in the future.
You can read up on the synopsis for Dragon Ball Super’s current arc below:
“According to an invitation that Goku gets, Zen-Oh (Omni King) is starting a martial arts tournament between all the universes called “Chikara no Taikai” (Tournament of Power). But it is the beginning of universal destruction. Something awaits the winners and losers of this tournament. What will become of this fierce team battle between each universe’s elite warriors?”
Dragon Ball Super’s “Universal Survival” saga is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. CST. Toonami airs the English dub on Adult Swim Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.
