This cover alone deserves 5 stars. This book picks up the various threads begun in #1, and it maintains the quality, pace, and flow of the first issue. Excellent work. Highly recommended.

I have the first six issues, and just now read the 2nd. I need to catch up. I love the Dune universe and have read many of the books. This series ties very nicely into the Dune timeline. The stories are well written and fit into the Dune storyline. The art is top notch and the printed copy is firm. I will quickly get to issue #3 and move on.

Just when I think this is the limit for Harkonnen atrocities, they surprise me.

The acclaimed prequel to the groundbreaking Dune continues in comic book form for the first time. Pardot Kynes arrives on Arrakis to begin research into terraforming the desert planet, but the merciless Baron Harkonnen has plans of his own. Meanwhile, the sadistic Harkonnens brutally test a young slave named Duncan Idaho. And Leto Atreides meets with the pioneers of space travel technology - taking the first steps towards his incredible destiny.
