Dune: House Harkonnen #9

This ninth chapter of BOOM! Studios' Dune: House Harkonnen series arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover by Raymond Swanland — a crumbling, stone-like figure with blue liquid streaming down its fractured face, swirling ribbons of light cutting across its eyes against a dark, atmospheric backdrop. The imagery suggests transformation, unraveling, or something between life and dissolution, perfectly suited to the grand, treacherous universe of Arrakis. With Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson shepherding the story and Michael Shelfer and Patricio Delpeche rounding out the creative team, this is a compelling entry in one of comics' most ambitious science fiction adaptations.
