    I really loved Romero’s work. And who knows, maybe this will be great. But then again, it might be like Brian Herbert’s Dune novels - a shameless, mediocre cash grab built on top of his father’s estate.

    Either way, I stand by what I said: enough with the torch passing. This ain’t a family business.

      So, although I don’t disagree, can we at least come to the table and agree that “dune” was done by god emperor, and anything past that was silly?

        Agree on the silliness. Still loved Darwi Odrade as a character.

        And Brian’s best work doesn’t come close to Heretics, which for me was the weakest of all of Frank’s books. It’s like a cargo cult construction, all cardboard and no substance.
