Series: Blade Runner

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 aging and disgraced ex-Blade Runner.

'Writers Mike Johnson and Mellow Brown, artist Andre Guinaldo, colorist 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 colors 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
