A prequel to Dune。 It is set in the future on planet Arrakis where a violent coup and an escaped slave come together。 It has been a long time since I have watched Dune and I have never read the book。 Even though I was not familiar with the story I did recognize some parts and understood the basics。 If you have read the novel or are a bigger fan than I am you will more than likely be able to pick up things that I missed。 The story was interesting and the art had a painting quality to it。 The colo A prequel to Dune。 It is set in the future on planet Arrakis where a violent coup and an escaped slave come together。 It has been a long time since I have watched Dune and I have never read the book。 Even though I was not familiar with the story I did recognize some parts and understood the basics。 If you have read the novel or are a bigger fan than I am you will more than likely be able to pick up things that I missed。 The story was interesting and the art had a painting quality to it。 The colors were soft， using browns outside and then bright colors in the capital。 Creative Team:Written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J AndersonIllustrated by Dev ParamanikLettered by Ed DukeshireColored by Alex GuimaraesPublished by Boom 。。。more

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I honestly enjoyed this read。 I do not know a lot about the Dune universe， but this was a decent introduction into what is going on。 The artwork was well done and the dialogue was well written。 I'm excited to see how these builds into the series and the new movie。 I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I honestly enjoyed this read。 I do not know a lot about the Dune universe， but this was a decent introduction into what is going on。 The artwork was well done and the dialogue was well written。 I'm excited to see how these builds into the series and the new movie。 。。。more

A small sample and very abbreviated way of getting people to become familiar to characters that are in the main novel Dune。 This is their origin stories kind of also based of of the novel by the same name。

The graphic novel adaptation of the prequel to Dune。 This story sees planetologist Pardot Kynes set off to investigate the planet Arrakis。 The Emperor’s Elrood’s son and a “friend” are hastening his death and looking into a way to break the spice trade monopoly。 Duncan Idaho is being hunted like prey。 Leto Atriedes has been sent to study on Ix。 And the female spiritual leaders are arranging for a special birth。 It’s been about 2 decades since I read Dune and I never read the prequel， so I only v The graphic novel adaptation of the prequel to Dune。 This story sees planetologist Pardot Kynes set off to investigate the planet Arrakis。 The Emperor’s Elrood’s son and a “friend” are hastening his death and looking into a way to break the spice trade monopoly。 Duncan Idaho is being hunted like prey。 Leto Atriedes has been sent to study on Ix。 And the female spiritual leaders are arranging for a special birth。 It’s been about 2 decades since I read Dune and I never read the prequel， so I only vaguely remember how the people and machinations introduced here play into setting up things for the scifi classic。 From what I do remember， this seems a decent adaptation （though I had issues with the way Duncan was drawn…he looks like he’s 18 and is supposed to be 8）。 Because of some of the content， only recommended for mature readers， and it is probably better to go into this knowing something of the plotline of Dune or you may be left scratching your head as to what the point was in all of this。 This ISBN is a collection of the first four installations and I believe there are at least four more to come so this doesn’t even completely tell the whole story of the prequel。 You’ll need to wait for at least Vol。 2 if not more for that。Notes on content [based on the ARC]: About 5 minor swears。 The religious mother leader is blackmailing a man into fathering a child and that is very vaguely illustrated from afar with partial clothing so that you can’t really see anything， but it is still depicted somewhat and very awkward/gross-feeling。 There’s also someone watching this without their knowledge。 It is mentioned that one woman used to be another house lord’s concubine and has moved to another lord。 There’s a slow poisoning going on。 Duncan is being hunting like an animal by a twisted man who kills his parents off page。 There are at least 2 altercations that result in death with blood shown。 I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

An enticing prequel to the Dune we all know and love。 The whole gang is here; Paul's father， Duncan Idaho， various Harkonnens including Vladimir and Raban， the Bene Gesserit， Piter de Vries。 We jump from Arrakis to Caladan to Giedi Prime to Kaitain to the mysterious Ix。Look， if you like Dune - big surprise - you'll like this。 My only point of criticism is that the art is merely okay - I wish it had a bit more style， that the designs were a bit more alien and stylised。3。5 stars（Thanks to Boom！ St An enticing prequel to the Dune we all know and love。 The whole gang is here; Paul's father， Duncan Idaho， various Harkonnens including Vladimir and Raban， the Bene Gesserit， Piter de Vries。 We jump from Arrakis to Caladan to Giedi Prime to Kaitain to the mysterious Ix。Look， if you like Dune - big surprise - you'll like this。 My only point of criticism is that the art is merely okay - I wish it had a bit more style， that the designs were a bit more alien and stylised。3。5 stars（Thanks to Boom！ Studios for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley） 。。。more

Dune: House Atreides， Vol。 1 by Brian Herbert & Kevin J。 Anderson is a free NetGalley e-comicbook that I read in late June。Okay， so I felt more comfortable starting this prequel comic by reading the original Dune book and I can say that I have more familiarity with the character names and the look of certain vehicles and living spaces， but， other than that， the dialogue style is much more casual and dare I say a bit more pompous （which matches Duke Leto’s style pretty well， now that I think abou Dune: House Atreides， Vol。 1 by Brian Herbert & Kevin J。 Anderson is a free NetGalley e-comicbook that I read in late June。Okay， so I felt more comfortable starting this prequel comic by reading the original Dune book and I can say that I have more familiarity with the character names and the look of certain vehicles and living spaces， but， other than that， the dialogue style is much more casual and dare I say a bit more pompous （which matches Duke Leto’s style pretty well， now that I think about it）。 On the other hand， it puts to image events that are only murmured about， like the birth of a Lady Jessica， the ‘adventures’ of Leto’s advisers， and Leto’s own pre-ducal training。 。。。more

It has been years since I read anything in the Dune universe， so I decided to dip my toes back in with this volume。 I have read the core works in the series， but had not read Dune: House Atreides。 But I had no problem recognizing the main characters and the story lines they would impact in the future。 The art work was nicely done and complemented the storyline。 I will be keeping my eyes open for the next volume of this adaptation 。

This isn't bad， but neither is it essential。 Reads a lot like George Lucas' Star Wars prequels， which proved to be entirely unnecessary。 Here， we see a lot of the characters from Dune， but only as young men and women， just starting out in life or down the path that will take them to events in that novel。 Perhaps this will become more compelling in further volumes， but for now， it's only of interest to the Dune completist。 The artwork isn't bad。 This isn't bad， but neither is it essential。 Reads a lot like George Lucas' Star Wars prequels， which proved to be entirely unnecessary。 Here， we see a lot of the characters from Dune， but only as young men and women， just starting out in life or down the path that will take them to events in that novel。 Perhaps this will become more compelling in further volumes， but for now， it's only of interest to the Dune completist。 The artwork isn't bad。 。。。more

Underwhelming art and a half-baked story。 This is really relying on the Dune name to sell。

This comic series has something that will appeal to fans of the DUNE books and newcomer's anticipating the new movie。 The comic offers a different experience no matter what type of fan the reader may be。 The comic is set 35 years before the events of Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES book。 The story unravels references for both the past and future of the vast universe that was created over the last decade or so。 Comic book art is always paramount to building the world conta This comic series has something that will appeal to fans of the DUNE books and newcomer's anticipating the new movie。 The comic offers a different experience no matter what type of fan the reader may be。 The comic is set 35 years before the events of Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson's DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES book。 The story unravels references for both the past and future of the vast universe that was created over the last decade or so。 Comic book art is always paramount to building the world contained within the story and this series is no exception。 The artists interpreted awe inspiring， alien worlds that set the stage flawlessly for the changing political and physical worlds of complex characters that work to help the reader's transition of the story's environments。 All of this plays the flow of the narrative with the flow of the speech。 Reader's of comics will not be disappointed and conventional reader's will be taken with the overall complexities of the story and artwork at play。 。。。more

Aunque toda la historia extendida de DUNE es fascinante en muchas formas sí hay carencias importantes cuando se aleja uno de los personajes principales de la novela original。 A pesar de eso esta historia es interesante como precuela， y cómo vamos conociendo a personajes que sentaron las bases en las que personajes como Paul deben desenvolverse más adelante。 Lamentablemente se falla acá en dos cosas: 1。 El arte es un distractor， su inconsistencia hace que uno pierda el interés en lo que está dici Aunque toda la historia extendida de DUNE es fascinante en muchas formas sí hay carencias importantes cuando se aleja uno de los personajes principales de la novela original。 A pesar de eso esta historia es interesante como precuela， y cómo vamos conociendo a personajes que sentaron las bases en las que personajes como Paul deben desenvolverse más adelante。 Lamentablemente se falla acá en dos cosas: 1。 El arte es un distractor， su inconsistencia hace que uno pierda el interés en lo que está diciendo X personaje para notar el error en algún determinado momento。 2。 El hecho de que esta colección tenga apenas 4 números nos deja avanzar muy poco en cada una de las MUCHAS historias que intenta contar。 。。。more

I enjoyed this。 I have not read the expanded Dune series past the original and the first two sequels， so this was new material to me。 It did make me want to go back and read more， which is high praise indeed。 The art is kinetic without being difficult to follow。 During some fight sequences the layouts would become more experimental， with curves and rough edges。 Rather than distracting I thought it brought a nice energy to the book。 I look forward to more like this。

Beautiful artwork in this adaptation of a novel that I have not read。 It is definitely enjoyable to see the bulk of Duke Leto’s generation once again， in their various locales， living out their formative years。 Now this is not quite at the level of O。G。 Dune， it is still worth the read as we wait for that cinematic adaptation。
