An online buddy of told me about DBM like a few years ago. I checked it out and was blown away by the artwork and the concept of alternate universes, which I admit I love in fiction. The characters I felt were mostly in character and it went a different path from DBGT, which I didn't care for. However once I caught up to the current chapters (at the time) the weaknesses really started to show.
DBM's major weakness is time. It uploads three pages a week, sometimes four during specials. It takes weeks or even a month for one chapter to get done. Keep in mind DB fights can take a long time. One big fight could last a whole chapter, which means on some weeks you could get a page about one character dodging another character. It makes it seem like you're on one fight for weeks.
DBM's second weakness is it breaks up chapters with specials about the different alternate universes. The concept sounds cool, but the specials are usually very lacking. For example a universe where Cell won instead Gohan. The special about that was Cell killing all the heroes in that universe. It doesn't tell you what happened afterward. We don't know if he fought Babidi or Buu or if he traveled the universe. The specials can take just as long as regular chapters finish. You can be on a special for weeks or months, which adds very little to character development or show any interesting things about that universe.
The third weakness is it wastes a lot of interesting characters for more generic ones. There is a universe where Goku never came to Earth and the humans had to fight all the villains of the series and actually won. Krillin, Yamecha, and Tien are all bad asses who stopped Red Ribbon army, the Saiyans, Cooler, and Babidi on their own without the Saiyans or Piccolo. The story has yet to even develop these characters at all and we know nothing about how they did it. There is another universe where there warrior who used super advance technology that can actually kill strong warriors like SS 3 and higher. They are not developed either. There are other universes wasted. Too much focus in put on universe where Vegito never defused.
Overall DBM is a decent fan comic. It has good ideas, interesting concept, and a fun alternative from DBGT. There are some major problems that prevent it from achieving its full potential and possibly dooms it to obscurity.
It's good, but has some bugs in it
