![]() ![]() Something I really enjoyed was the way the internal dialogue is expressed in blocks of text on the page. But it does capture the epic scale of things. ![]() Honestly the cover art is better than what is inside, and it isn't as sleek as the art in the prequel graphic novels like Dune: House Atreides Vol. Nothing really to write home about, but it does have kind of a cool 80s vibe particularly in the color palettes. ![]() This is a fun and accessible way to get into Dune, especially for those who might be wary about jumping into such a long novel. This book only covers Part 1 of the original novel, with a full 3 volumes planned. There is nothing new, but also there is very little missing from the original novel and it seems that being a faithful translation is the primary goal. At worst it is a visual sparknotes for the book, but also that is more or less what you would be looking for here. I was pleasantly surpirsed how effective this adaptation was. ![]() Particularly a book where the lore and exposition do a lot of heavy lifting and internal dialogue is critical to the storytelling such as with Dune. Graphic adaptations on beloved novels are always a difficult transition, much like with film. ![]()
