My only frame of reference is the 2021 movie.
Oh, I knew the basics prior to that: Spice, the giant worms, space politics, but beyond that ... ?
Released in the wake of that movie, this is - apparently (or so the authors say) - a straight visual retelling (as much as is possible) of Frank Herbert 1965 epic, rather than putting their own stamp on it.
Never having read that original, I'm in no position to say whether it is or not.
What I will say, however (if it is) then so is the 2021 movie, although there are distinct visual differences between the two mediums.
This also ends in a different place, slightly earlier than the movie, with Paul and Jessica alone in the desert and before their run-in with the Fremen.
So, yes, engaging if dragging slightly in parts and well set-up for the release of Part 2 in Autumn 2022 ...

People are still trying to stop them from reaching Tenebris, but instead of the Templars, they now look like "Desert Ninjas" instead. Are they one and the same or is someone else joining in the 'fun' now too?
Well-written as always, with a smooth pace and one heck of a steamy ménage scene, this instalment continues to titillate the senses and leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended.
