FCBD 2020: Blade Runner 2019

Blade Runner 2019 (Single Issues)

by Michael Green

Nous voici de retour pour cette nouvelle édition 2020 du Free Comic Book Day ! Toujours présents et fidèles à cette manifestation que nous soutenons car elle fait écho, par la diversité de son offre, à l’essence-même de notre catalogue. NON, les comics ne se limitent pas au genre super-héroïque. OUI, nous nous appliquons à vous proposer des titres variés et de grande qualité dans tous les genres. C’est le cas notamment de ce Blade Runner 2019 (qui sort en 2020, l’ironie de la chose n’aura échappé à personne !), qui est la première séquelle officielle en BD du film de Ridley Scott. Au programme de cette édition, de la science-fiction, empreinte de cyberpunk, donc, mais comme le montre la liste des sorties à venir, vous trouverez également du polar, de l’horreur, de la fantaisie ou encore du fantastique !

Genres: Comics, Science Fiction, Media Tie In, Graphic Novels, Fiction, Graphic Novels Comics, Ebooks

In a word - AWESOME!

[David Dalton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh yeah, I am going to catchup on this series!
Edited: turns out I did not, except for issue#1. I just today reread the FCBD issue and #1. Issues 2 to 4 are available for free on Comixology Unlimited,. Then I will buy the remaining issues one by one. This is a good moody sci-fi tribute to the original movie!

After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on Earth - under penalty of death.

Special police squads - BLADE RUNNER UNITS - had orders to shoot and kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant.

I've decided to read through some of the free comic books that Amazon have offered over the year and this one, a Free Comic Book Day offering, jumped out as I do rather like the Blade Runner films.

The story follows Aahna Ashina, known as Ash, as we learn about her upbringing and evolution into a Blade Runner. It sets the scene for the further 9 editions, which I am rather tempted to read as the story looks to be a good one.

The fact that Michael Green was involved in the Blade Runner 2049 film is another good sign that this will fit into the timeline well and add to the overall Blade Runner stories.

Currently free on Kindle, this is a teaser of a US comic series translated into French. Decent graphics, no more no less, good visual narration, good storyline, nothing original at all as this is firmly set within the Blade Runner cinematic world ... overall this is okay. But no more than okay. It just doesn’t have the creativity of the original movie (let alone the book).

Leave you curious about the next 😁

Looks great, hope it is not just like Hollywood movie trailer. All good on the first look 🙂 Will look if the omnibus come out an So far recommend to have a look.

Stylish

Good color artwork. Titan comics freebie. 23 pages. This would be easier to review if it was 32 pages. A female blade runner is hunting replicants. Los Angeles actually looks cleaner this time around.

This is probably the best FCBD I have read. It’s a great teaser for the main run, and it’s executed by the same talent. It even includes the creators’ bios, as well as some script pages and panels, from pencils to inks. This offers a good sampling of their skills and what’s to come.

Blade Runner Universe

This comic introduces a new character in the blade runner universe, a runner named Ashina, Ash is what she prefers to be called, and this is her back story.

I recommend this comic to those that have seen and enjoyed the original blade runner movie.

Blade Runner 2019

Glad it was free: for obvious reasons! -- No story; no plot; time wasted! At least there was no $$ wasted. Was forced to give an unwarranted star

[Lola Driew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Muy guay pero con vocabulario muy denso y culto.

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Begging to think I need to properly read this series.

[Brandon Skanes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was pretty good, and focuses on the issue of "you gotta do what you gotta do." I'd love to read more of the Blade Runner comics.

[Ian Rota · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story line

Amazing classic art.
Shorter than expected. Wish there was a full novel instead of a single comic.
Maybe I'll buy more... Unlikely

[James Turner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good start

Introducing Ash a new blade runner. Quite a bit of backstory in a short comic. Nice artwork and nice story arc.

[farhan maqsood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Start of a New Series

I really liked the feel and the back story of the new characters, I am looking forward to see where they take this story.

[Colby Fitzsimmons · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is good, I haven't seen or read anything on this universe before, but now, I am inclined to try more in this world.

[Mario · Rating 5 out of 5]

Meant as a prelude to the Blade Runner 2019 comic series, here we find a little montage that explains the setting, on one hand Eldon Tyrell showing the new Nexus 6 model, and then a little Asian American girl whose family is bullied by early 2000's police. That girl, Ash, will eventually become a Blade Runner working for the LAPD, and the comic shows her first ever Replicant encounter.

Recommended!
