Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1

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.
