The best adaptation there is about an epic space opera
Format: Kindle
The DUNE saga is a masterpiece of science fiction. It is a timeless bittersweet space opera that gets better each time I revisit it. And yet, adapting it is a challenge in it of itself. Each adaptation suffers from the biases, taboos, trends of its respective eras. This is not the fault of the directors or even the defenders of each live action adaptation, it is just the way things are - and moreover the hollow industry of American media is.
And yet, here comes another medium which does the unthinkable. It adapts Dune masterfully, missing almost nothing which made the first book so special.
If you liked the previous adaptations and enjoyed the latest film series of Dune but were left wanting more or wondering how this epic telling in the future far, far away further unravels and the roots behind prophecies, the politics, mysteries of the known universe, but don't have time for listening to the audio book or reading the book, I recommend this graphic novel series.
