Okay, okay, we all know that: A) Dune (the book) is the epitome of Science Fiction story telling, and B) the 1984 movie version sucked donkey.
What some of you all may NOT know, is that the SciFy tv version was waaaaay better and followed the book fairly well. Not bad at all in fact.
?? The SciFy TV version better? How could that be? The Fremen were chubby in the TV series. Not water starved people who spent half their lives running. The special effects for how everyone moved… Didn’t add anything. The TV version just fell flat. I realize this is many years later but Dune was amazing and the movie amazing. The rest of the books very good… This comic amazing. But people don’t see the TV version.
Panel 3: That would scare me silly if someone held up a mirror in the middle of the night. I don't quite get panel 4, though…
It’s a reference to the movie/book “Dune”
“FATHER! THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED!”

I think panel 4 is a Cthulu reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulu_mythos
Good guess, but no. Dune. Paul Muad’dib.
Bam.
Its not Cthulu. The reference is from the Dune movie. Right after he drinks from the Waters of Life. The Worm is the SPICE!
The Spice must flow…
And he's wearing a Stillsuit.
Ack, I saw that movie: didn't realize it had a sleeper too
OMG… Dune…. ROFL
Gotta love the "Dune" bug – long love the fighters!
is it "dune bug" or "dune buggie" ?
sorry that was lame…
I see the Christ bug has a huuuge halo now!!!
looks more like a sombrero to me.
kinda…
I was thinking afro.
I like who the first one is "Part 1" the second one is "Act II" and the third is "Episode III"
I like to label items on a 3-item list as A, 2 and Finally or iii.
Anyone else noticed typo in the title (and yesterday's) or is it a reference that I didn't catch?
Yeah. That was me trying to do these in a hurry. Thanks for the catch.
Funny, I thought panel 4 was a reference to the Woody Allen movie.
great storyarc… keep 'em comin'.
damn I didnt get the dune reference till i actually finished the book and the movie……in the same day
Sorry, what was that about 2 being the last one?
Oh, it's Dune!
I thought it's from Wells. Made more sense.
Good times! hehe! 🙂
