BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce DUNE: EDGE OF A CRYSKNIFE: RAGE OF SHAI-HULUD, a brand-new one-shot further expanding the vast and rich universe of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel Dune. The exploration into unexplored regions of the Dune mythos is penned by award-winning novelists Brian Herbert and Kevin J.
