Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Up to now the stakes have been pretty high, Yotun having instigated a major Replicant rebellion and burnt half of Los Angeles down after all, but last issue saw that level of mayhem and raised it even higher. Yotun now has, […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was yet another enjoyable trip to the world of Blade Runner 2029. Last night I again re-watched Blade Runner 2049, as I’m convinced I keep missing little nods in the issues to events mentioned in the comic. The importance […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics I think the main thing I enjoy about both the Blade Runner books from Titan is that they resemble the films so much in how of the ‘feel’ they capture. Sure, they both do a good job of capturing the time […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was certainly all go wasn’t it? Yotun went all in on his messiah complex and unleashed a near unstoppable Replicant army on poor old Los Angeles. He took over the highly symbolic LAPD HQ, though his ultimate plan seemed […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Yotun this, Yotun that, I guess you think this book is about you (with apologies to Carly Simon). Yotun certainly is centre stage in this arc, and why not? He’s either a messiah or a terrorist, depending on your point of […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Things moved along a lot last issue. Yotun’s campaign of terror against mankind stepped up a gear as Freysa led a small group to infiltrate Yotun’s base to try and free Ash. Ash has been ‘resting’ in one of Yotun’s rejuvenation […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue was one of those issues that really raise the ante. You get the ones with all the drama, the ones with all the world building, the ones with all the fighting, but ones that raise the ante really move […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics I’ve been enjoying the Blade Runner Origins book so much that I’ve found myself neglecting the main book, certainly in terms of reviews. Truth is, both books have been outstanding, really painting an authentic picture of the world we know and […]
Written by K Perkins, Melloe Brown, Mike Johnson | Art by Fernando Dagnino | Published by Titan Comics You can of course never have enough of a good thing. With Blade Runner, this is most definitely true. The ongoing Blade Runner 2019/ 2029 book has been superb, building a world that is pure living and […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Last issue saw the book jump ahead a decade, allowing for a shakeup in the status quo of both Ash and the world she inhabits. This is deliberate, as this series I’m assuming was always intended to show how the 2019 […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics The ‘jump ahead in time’ storytelling technique is an oldie but goodie. By taking your already established characters and stories and then moving them forward you open up storyline possibilities moving both forwards and backwards. What’s the world like now? What’s […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics So, this is the wrap up of what has been essentially one over arching storyline, albeit one split between three story arcs. A beginning, middle, and end if you will. The best thing this first year has done has been to […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics If one central theme has run through the first year of this book, it is trust. Who should you trust? Who can you trust? When you are dealing with Replicants, that’s no great surprise I guess. People Blade Runner Ash should […]
Written by Mike Johnson | Art by Andrea Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics I notice a slight change in the credits this issue, the first change we’ve seen in the ten issues published, including this one. Not a big one, but Mike Johnson is now writing the book solo, with Michael Green stepping down […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Was last issue a happy ending? I think so. It took 8 issues and several years in-story, but Cleo finally got her happy ending, a new start with her ‘mother’ Cleo on Arcadia. Ash’s story was more of a […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Incredibly, the last issue of this book that came out was back in March. Wonder what caused the delay… As pleased as I am that the book is back up and running, it was definitely not a welcome break. […]
Written by Kristen Beyer, Mike Johnson | Art by Tony Shasteen, Angel Hernandez | Published by IDW Publishing | Format: Paperback, 96pp Set after the disappearance of the U.S.S. Discovery (at the end of season 2 of the show), Aftermath sees Captain Pike and Chancellor L’Rell seek to forge a new peace treaty between the Federation […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics This arc, as I mentioned last time round, took something of a left turn by taking place several years after the first story, and by transferring the action off world. On top of that, the big bad Tyrell Corporation […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Second story arcs are always tricky, maintaining that initial enthusiasm and buzz, but the new story arc Green and Johnson started last issue was a doozy. They took all the things that everyone really enjoyed from the first 4 […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Well this is a refreshingly quick return to everybody’s favourite dystopian near future. When the first arc ended a couple of months ago I figured it would be a while before we got to see Aahna Ashina, our second […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Time to check back in with everyone’s second favourite Blade Runner, Aahna Ashina (that’s a whole lot of the letter A). With this issue she’s only been around for four in total, but she’s become such a great rounded […]
Written by Michael Green, Mike Johnson | Art by Andres Guinaldo | Published by Titan Comics Two issues in, this book has been as wild a ride as the one Ash finds herself in at the beginning of this issue. Her Spinner, you may recall, was crashed into in mid-air on the final page of […]
