D.V.D.

In the mid-2000s, Tokyopop brought this eight-issue series to American readers, a manga-influenced action-comedy about a young woman who discovers her late father was a superhero—and that his high-tech DVD player holds the key to his legacy. The story follows her reluctant journey into a world of costumed crime-fighting and quirky villains, blending slapstick humor with heartfelt family drama. Best known for its energetic art and playful tone, D.V.D. stands as a short-lived but charming example of Tokyopop’s push to mix Western storytelling with manga-style visuals.
