The Blade Runner Comics Panel at SDCC 2021 Talks Building a Universe

Titan Comics’ Andrew Sumner, David Leach, Mike Johnson, Kate Perkins, Fernando Dagnino, and Mellow Brown received collectively at San Diego Comic-Con @ Home to debate the way forward for the Blade Runner comics.

The 12 subject sequence of Blade Runner 2019 —written by Michael Green and Mike Johnson—is the primary unique story to be canon inside the universe. The SDCC 2021 panel mentioned what followers can count on within the two new Blade Runner tales by Titan Comics: Blade Runner 2029: Reunion, a comply with as much as their sequence Blade Runner 2019, and a brand new story titled Blade Runner: Origins. As the primary to talk, Mike Johnson talked in regards to the 10-year journey of Ash, the central character of Blade Runner 2019 and 2029.

In 2019, Ash is a hardcore killer of replicants and has a extreme disdain for them as a result of to her they’re soulless machines. Over the course of the e book, her ideas and feeling towards the replicants start to alter and by 2029, she’s turned 180 levels. “In 2029, she’s living a double life,” Johnson mentioned. “She’s a Blade Runner by day hunting dangerous replicants but lives with her lover Fraysa [who appears in the Denis Villeneuve film Blade Runner 2049], who is a replicant. By night, Ash helps non-violent replicants flee persecution and violence. But her double life isn’t sustainable.”

Blade Runner: Origins, in the meantime, explores the lifetime of the first-ever replicant hunter. The story is informed from the angle of Kyle Morrow, the primary Blade Runner to ever take the job—a member of the army who sees firsthand the horrors the replicants undergo. Mellow Brown, the sequence’ author, mentioned the necessary themes the comedian goals to sort out. “In the book, we’ll see the replicant program for what it really is,” Mellow says. “Not only from a corporate perspective but from the perspective of the people within Los Angeles and how replicants make them feel as a society.”

Both Blade Runner 2029: Reunion and Blade Runner: Origins at the moment are accessible in comedian outlets and on-line. You can tune into the total panel above to get the person views of these concerned with the creation of those tales.
