Following on from yesterday’s trailer for the Denis Villeneuve-directed movie, we now have a preview of the first issue of Boom! Studios’ new Dune comic book series Dune: Blood of the Sardaukar ahead of its launch next week; take a look here…
When the choice is vengeance or honor, which lies at the heart of a Sardaukar? Jopati Kolona one of the Sardaukar: the emperor’s elite military unit. The Sardaukar are unbeatable, unbending in their devotion to the emperor, and feared throughout the galaxy. When Jopati meets Duke Leto of House Atreides, the house he believes responsible for the destruction of his home planet and family, he will be forced to question a life-long hatred. Tasked with overthrowing the Atreides stronghold on Dune for his master, Jopati will be forced to choose between duty and forgiveness. A poignant, blood-soaked tale expanding the rich mythology of Frank Herbert’s Dune by New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson with artist Adam Gorham (The New Mutants: Dead Souls, Punk Mambo).
Dune: Blood of the Sardaukar #1 goes on sale on July 28th.
