“Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad’Dib” continues Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s comic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” with art from Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín as well as Bill Sienkiewicz, who previously adapted David Lynch’s 1984 film version of “Dune” for Marvel Comics. The story picks up following the events of the first volume, with Paul Atreides and the Lady Jessica fleeing into the desert after the Harkonnens attacked. There they meet Stilgar and his sietch, learning more of the Fremen customs in order to discover the source of desert power. Meanwhile, Baron Harkonnen schemes on Giedi Prime, plotting the future of his heir, Feyd. Allén, Martín, and Sienkiewicz beautifully bring to vivid life Herbert’s story, using color to particular effect in their storytelling. The use of color resembles the Sci-Fi Channel’s 2000 miniseries adaptation of “Dune.” This volume ends with Lady Jessica’s transformation into a Reverend Mother, setting the stage for volume three, “Prophet”, due out in spring 2024.

The art and story flow are exceptional. You can read it in a few hours. Well put together. Paints a picture of the Dune universe from a different perspective. I enjoyed these graphic novels. I hope Brian and Kevin make more.

Great adaptations! Beautiful art.

I saw a review that books 1 and 2 Re different sizes. They are not if you buy the same editions. The other review was comparing Book 1 Ultimate Collectors editions to the standard Book 2. These are both full of beautiful art and a great way to reread a classic.

Easy to blaze through the second volume a nice continuation.

Great graphic novel

The graphic novel is visually beautiful. The book is large, perhaps more than you think. It is heavy. I thought it would be a paperback or small book, but it is much better. The package arrived in good condition and the books were not damaged, bent, or anything like that. Super happy with my purchase. If wondering about buying this book, do yourself a favor, buy it!

Bought as a gift from my brother to his daughter (who is a major Dune fan); this did NOT disappoint. This is a gorgeous collector's edition. We're anxiously-awaiting the 3rd volume, which we have on pre-order.

En definitiva un elemento complementario si leíste los libros y has visto las películas. Toma en cuenta que están basados en los libros y no en las adaptaciones al cine. Un trabajo increíble.

Bought as a present, and the recipient absolutely loved it. It is very good quality, the graphics are great, as expected. Overall very good book, so I'm told, I didn't actually read it! Would recommend for anyone that enjoys sci-fi novels.

I am a fan of Dune, period.

I bought the first volume of this comic rendition of the book, and I loved it.

I waited patiently for this second volume... and then got a bit dissapointed because some pages are diffictult to read.

I understand the story is "dark", but is it necessary to chose the color palete that make the ilustrations and the text difficult to read? For instance, see page 156 and 157, white text over orange background, really? (maybe I am getting old and grounchy)

I will definetely buy the 3rd volumen... but please, if the authors are reading this, be merciful of your readers :-)

The quality of the book is fantastic with amazing art.

Even the book jacket has a velvety feel with an embossed title.
