The officially sanctioned, critically-acclaimed graphic novel. Written by the New York Times bestselling author Mike Johnson, writer of Star Trek, Supergirl, Transformers, and Green Lantern. The original creative team returns for this new chapter.

This first volume marks the start of the final chapter in the saga of Ash.

Los Angeles 2039. It has been three years since Niander Wallace introduced his brand of 'perfectly obedient' Replicants, and the ban on synthetic humans has been lifted, at least for the new Wallace models. The older Tyrell Corp's Nexus 8 units are still hunted by Blade Runners.

Cleo Selwyn, first seen as a small child in Blade Runner 2019, has returned to L.A. some twenty years later, searching for Isobel, a Replicant copy of her real mother who died when she was three. Cleo believes that Niander Wallace is holding Isobel captive, and the only person she can call on for help is the one who saved her so many years ago: Aahna 'Ash' Ashina, now an ageing and disgraced ex-Blade Runner.

'Writers Mike Johnson and Mellow Brown, artist Andre Guinaldo, colourist Marco Lesko, and letterer Jim Campbell tap into the same noir sensibilities that made the original so memorable.' - CBR

'Fans of Titan Comics' earlier Blade Runner titles will find this to be an excellent capstone on Ash's story... a fitting and thrilling continuation of the movies.' - Kabooooom

'The art in this book delivers the harshness of 2039 L.A. excellently. The visuals always convey the grit and roughness of the world fantastically.' - But Why Tho

'Artwork and colours from Andres Guinaldo and Marco Lesko capture the noir setting of 2039's LA incredibly well. It's a grim, dark, and gritty world...' - Geek Culture Reviews

'The mixture of real-world parallels and dystopian nuance is why Blade Runner resonates, propelling the comics into a league of their own.' - Set The Tape

'The visual aesthetic and story setup feel right at home in the Blade Runner universe...' - Comical Opinions

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Blade Runner 2039 Vol. 1 has been praised for capturing the dark, noir sensibilities and visual aesthetics that are true to the original. The graphic novel offers a compelling continuation of Ash's story, with the harshness of the 2039 Los Angeles setting well depicted through the powerful illustrations and colours. Reviewers note its layered storytelling and authentic adventures, highlighting its successful blend of dystopian nuance and real-world parallels.
