5.0

Second story arc starts explosively with Ash's failed arrest attempt 10 years earlier - replicant successfully escapes and Ash is left intentionally as a witness of his escape.

Back in the time of the story Ash starts to follow very disturbing religious cult of replicants - as is case with majority of cults main prize here is immortality. But what are the true goals of the mysterious cult leader?

Art is standardly excellent.

Highly recommended to fans of cyberpunk and SF.

Photo collage of dogs and graphic novels

I am a huge fan of the original Blade Runner movie. I saw it a dozen times in the theatre. When I saw this graphic novel, I had to have a copy. Wow! No regrets! This is the first volume in the series, and I already ordered the other two and can’t wait to read them. The graphics are awesome and full colour. The story has the essence of the original movie and totally captured my attention. Splendid graphic novel!

Great start to the new 2029 series, takes Aahna Ashina again with a new job a decade or so down the track. Great art, good plotline, interesting developments.

I mean, "Replicant" is a much cooler name than "Andy". Sorry Philip K. Dick. But it’s just the truth. Even so, when I see this series being marketed as Blade Runner 2029, I do have to fight that little hipster voice in my head trying to screech wElL In ThE bOoK tHeY'rE cAlLeD bOuNtY hUnTeRs NoT bLaDe RuNnErS. The war against the Inner Hipster is an eternal struggle.

The series remains much less cerebral than the movies, but also fun and the change makes sense for this format. It clips along nicely, love the art, builds on the previous ones well. Cliffhanger was good. No complaints.
