BLADE RUNNER ORIGINS: VOL 1

GRAPHIC NOVEL VARIOUS | TITAN

Ranging across 2019/29/49 and now back to 2007, the canonical Blade Runner timeline is getting as head-spinning as Star Wars’. So maybe it’s as well this four-issue arc sticks with the tried-and-tested, as another duster-wearing lone-wolf ’tec hunts another renegade replicant in persistent drizzle. Still, the story lays a promising trail of big-conspiracy breadcrumbs, while Fernando Dagnino’s artwork is as fearsome as a howling, half-naked Rutger Hauer. Matthew Leyland
