The officially sanctioned graphic novel sequel to the cult 1982 science fiction movie Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott. Written by the New York Times Bestselling author Mike Johnson, writer of Star Trek, Supergirl, Transformers and Green Lantern.
It is 2029. Renegade Replicant leader Yuton's call to arms to all Replicants has seen the city of LA ravaged by urban warfare and terrorist attacks, culminating in the destruction of the iconic headquarters of the LAPD Police Department.
Now Ash and her lover, Fresya (leader of the Replicant Underground) are on the run, hounded by Blade Runners and Yuton's followers. And with time running out for both sides, Ash finds herself on a collision course with Yotun.
'Captures the tone of the source material while thrillingly expanding the scope of the larger world only hinted at in the films, resulting in the rare licensed title that feels essential instead of perfunctory' Library Journal
'10 out of 10. A must-read title.' Bleeding Cool
'Pretty perfect... it really captures the spirit, the feel and even the look of the classic movie, but heads off in a different direction, world-building as it goes.' Chicago Tribune
