"Dune, Frank Herbert's epic science-fiction masterpiece set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar society, tells the story of Paul Atreides as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism, and politics, Dune is a powerful, fantastical tale that takes an unprecedented look into our universe, and is transformed by the graphic novel format. In the first volume of a three-book trilogy encompassing the original novel, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's adaptation retains the story's integrity, and Raul Allen and Patricia Martin's magnificent illustrations, along with cover art by Bill Sienkiewicz, bring the book to life for a new generation of readers." --

The Duke, his concubine, and his son go to Arrakis. The House Atreides has been given the spice rights to the planet by the Emperor. But there is a plot afoot...
It's part one of Dune in comic book form.
It must be difficult to attempt to write additional meaningful details about anyone who is a familiar character in this well-known series - I give the writers a (very small) kudo for attempting it. Unfortunately, in my opinion, they did not come close to reaching the levels of the original series of books by Frank Herbert. The problem for me was lack of any real tension or excitement – no matter the scenario or danger being faced, one knows in advance that the characters will come through relatively unscathed, because that is how they first appeared in the original books. The purported life-threatening situations as a result just fell flat. I have read and enjoyed almost all of the authors' previous Dune books, but this was a big let-down for me. After only a few chapters, I stopped caring, and decided to go re-read the originals instead – so this is a “did not finish” for me.
Grafica mi s-a părut foarte bună (e ceea ce înțeleg prin BD, nu manga sau DC/Marvel) și cu o subtilitate cromatică eficient folosită pentru a transmite stări. Adaptarea cărții e foarte ok pentru un mediu narativ destul de superficial in potențial (BD-ul) și nu numai că nu pierde mai nimic, dar pentru mine (care am citit cartea) e chiar exces de informație. Problema mea e că este exagerat de statică. Practic 90% din carte sunt dialoguri nenumărate, adică vizual doar fețe care vorbesc, fără mișcare, fără acțiune. Acest volum este în sine doar o mare expozițiune și nu e corect că se vinde separat de volumele 2 și 3, făcând parte dintr-un întreg. Nemira s-a temut să riște cu toate 3 simultan, dar riscă efectul invers: acest volum să dezamăgească și să ducă la evitarea cumpărării restului. În rezumat, vizual (arta grafică) e foarte reușită, narativ este un eșec, separată de celelalte 2 volume.
