The second official, NYT Bestselling prequel to Dune is adapted for the first time by award-winning novelists Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and artist Michael Shelfer (Domino), unveiling a closer look at the rising conflict between beloved characters and bitter villains.
Fans will gain insight into how the early years of iconic figures Gurney Halleck, Lady Jessica, and Liet Kynes had their future shaped by the complex and brutal machinations of House Harkonnen!
What difficult choices will tear Leto Atreides apart as Baron Harkonnen plots against not just House Atreides, but the Bene Gesserit and the Emperor himself?

If asked why this adaptation is beneficial, the only answer seems to be that there was a quick buck to be grabbed. Read Full Review
Art: 3/5
Story: 3/5
Total: 6/10
I wasn’t a fan of the art style and felt it would have been better suited for a manga from the 80s or 90s. There wasn’t really a story either with most of the pages dedicated to introducing the various worlds and characters.
