I'm gonna say no if you're asking about skipping the vizbig version of volume 3 because it has the Inshun arc which is pretty important in Musashi's path. By the way, Drifters is just 'ok', I'm past volume 1 in terms of story and used to follow it, before I got strapped for time.Oburi said:I grabbed some manga today. Those two on the side are new series from Darkhorse from the artists of Trigun and Hellsing. Of course that's Volume 2 of the giant Viz editions of Vagabond. Unfortunately they didn't have the first one but I have read the first two books in the past. Can anyone tell me if it's cool to pick up from here? I think I'm basically skipping book three. It's not ideal but I can still make sense of the story right?

Volume 3 has Musashi's first big duel. Up to you.Oburi said:technically I haven't read volume 3 of the regular editions. That's not a big deal right? I can read the synopsis and go back eventually.
Walter said:I know that the first book came out in 2007, and the second book just came out this year. Does that mean I have to wait 4+ years for the third? I guess I'll pace myself.

It is fantastic. It's become one of my favorite books. Easily favorite sci-fi.Rhombaad said:I'm excited to read the series now that I'm an adult and have a greater understanding of the world.

Rhombaad said:I'm just bummed that Herbert passed away before he could finish the series.

It's sad to know that the series will never be completed by Frank Herbert, but can i ask you why you won't read the sequels?Aazealh said:Aren't we all.

Yeah, discovered a decade after his death ... i don't know.Beginning in 1999, his son Brian Herbert and science fiction author Kevin J. Anderson have published a number of prequel novels, as well as two which complete the original Dune series — Hunters of Dune (2006) and Sandworms of Dune (2007) — partially based on Frank Herbert's notes discovered a decade after his death.

I see, thank you for clearing this up. At first i thought about reading the sequels but now you convinced me not to. Anyway i'm still looking forward to reading this book judging from all the previous comments it must be a very good.Aazealh said:Kevin J. Anderson is a hack that specializes in this kind of shit (guy released a sequel to van Vogt's Slan), and Brian Herbert looks like the average opportunist looking to make an easy buck. I know myself well enough to be absolutely certain that I would despise these sequels, and so I'd rather not waste my time with them, nor give these guys my money.
