I sometimes have the feeling that I've read the entire internet. I thought that maybe if I share something with you you will share something with me. So, I thought I'd direct your attention to this one:

Schlock Mercenary.

It's a scifi opera comic. It may not be for everyone but I was entertained.

Got any pointers to good online reads`?

And yes Atomic Rockets . A must read for any aspiring scifi author (or anyone who's feeling bored). But I'm sure you already know this site.
 
Saw Mickey 17, a sci-fi comedy, based on Mickey 7, by Edward Ashton, which I read and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed. I am fascinated by stories of identity and the meaning of selfness. Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattison - of 'Sparkly Vampire' infamy) is running from a loan shark and, to escape the price on his head, signs up for an off-world trip to a new colony. The only way he could get selected is as an 'Expendable' - which is exactly what it sounds like: he gets all the suicide missions...
So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
