Project Update: New Stretch Goal Unveiled!

Subakh ul kuhar!

A universe of surprises is what I pray for” ― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune

A new surprise stretch goal is within reach! When we hit 400 backers, we’ll unlock brand-new content with Dune: Edge of a Crysknife. As you pledge your allegiance, prepare to wield your blades and uncover deeper secrets buried in the sands.

If unlocked, Dune: Edge of a Crysknife will be a two-issue special based on the short story of the same name, adapted by the original writers Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson and artist Zak Hartong (Clovis, Spree). This two-issue special will be added to DUNE: TALES FROM ARRAKEEN once we reach 400 backers! 

One of the earliest stories set in the Dune universe, set even before the events of the Prelude to Dune trilogy, Dune: Edge of a Crysknife would explore an early adventure of the Freman woman fighting against the House Harkonnen who will one day be known as Shadout Mapes. 

We’re on the verge of unlocking this stretch goal! Spread the word to your friends and share the love of Dune. 

And now, we’re ready to reveal the new BOOM! Direct Reserve exclusive covers—crafted by the renowned artist Reiko Murakami (Magic: The Gathering). These covers, as mesmerizing as spice itself, will adorn your books like treasures from the deserts of Arrakis.

All artwork & design not final and subject to change.

Hey Boom! Studios. I'm a big fan of Dune and these prequel graphic novels are something I'd normally immediately purchase or back. I just wanted to bring to your attention chatter amongst Dune fans that I've seen in various (private) Dune Facebook groups as well as Reddit. The overwhelming consensus is that people seem to love your books you have here but think they are way over priced. Case in point, the msrp is $50 for the hardback collector's edition graphic novels of Dune 1, volumes 1 and 2, and that includes a slip case. Both of these are currently discounted directly from Amazon for another 35% or so off. Your currently pricing the individual slip cased books at $125 which is more than double the books I just mentioned. That's quite a steep price difference without seeing much value in return to justify that much higher price. I'm not trying to sound antagonistic or offensive with this post. I want to see this be successful but at your current pricing structure I just don't see it happening very much beyond what you've done so far, which isn't very much. These books need to be priced at $50 with the slip case. I look forward to hearing your thoughts if you wish to share them. I'd personally recommend terminating this campaign and restarting it in a couple months with a new pricing structure. Good luck!
