    Dev Pramanik does some excellent work with the art in this issue. There is a sense of energy and movement from the panels as they tell the story. The Duncan Idaho interlude is one of the more visually dynamic moments from the issue. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford

    Nov 26, 2020

    Dune: House Atreides #2 falls fairly flat for me. The introduction of so many plot threads does nothing but slow down and muddle an already busy story. It feels like this book is concerned less with telling a cohesive narrative than managing to introduce every element from the universe that the original materials dealt with. Read Full Review

    Overall, this series has yet to fix fundamental issues (namely: its purpose). And the glut of characters yet barren plot is frustrating. However, the art has improved and represents the visual splendor of the property in far better light. Read Full Review
