As you can see, another gorgeous cover. I forgot Kynes, Liet Kynes' father, and his appointment to be the planetologist of Dune. That's also covered in this series, and in this book, Kynes is fully diving into his cataloguing and reporting. Of course, the emperor only wants to know about Dune to know about spice and if he can replicate it anywhere else (the constant struggle), but Kynes is genuinely interested in Arrakis and the Fremen. In fact, the emperor even says that Kynes' own curiosity is more important to him than impressing anybody, which is one of the reasons the emperor chooses Kynes to go to Dune. We also find out more about Ix and their new projects, like building an air ship that can fit more people, which the emperor doesn't like because that means fewer air ships traveling, which means less tax money for him. But it's also a potential issue because of the Butlerian Jihad and its forbidding of dabbling too much with technology. Ix is a problem, and so its Great House leader.
It's getting interesting. Each thread makes me think about how it all ties together to produce the events of Dune, like when Leto's father, Paulus, holds a bullfight to send Leto off before he leaves for Ix, and I was thinking, "Oh, this is when Paulus gets gored." Expectations can be confirmed or overturned here, when you know it's all leading to something familiar, but you don't know when or how.
Overall, this is a great series. Very beautiful but also entertaining. I love it so far!

I am really enjoying this series. I need to catch up, as I just bought issue #7 and yet, just now read issue #3. Fills in the gaps of the whole Dune storyline. Brings back good memories from years ago when I first read Dune (makes me want to go back and reread the first couple of Dune novels). Great job by BOOM! studios. The whole project is first class: covers, story, characters, and the look and feel of Dune.

Slower...

Great 3rd episode. Like how the planetologist has played a bigger role. Part with Leto on IX was also good.

Great Read

I enjoyed reading this comic very much. It is good reading books in a graphic format. Very well done indeed.
