''Blade Runner'' by Titan Publishing, is a number of series set in the world of Ridley Scott's ''Franchise/BladeRunner.''
Winner of the 2020 SCRIBE AWARD for best Graphic Novel, this critically acclaimed graphic novel, is the official sequel to the cult classic 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. Co-written by Michael Green, the Academy Award nominated screenwriter of Film/{{Logan}}, ''Film/BladeRunner2049'', and ''Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress''.
Return to the original rain-soaked dystopic world of Los Angeles, 2019. A hardboiled future noir world of renegade Replicants, deadly femme fatales, Spinners and bloody, violent death!
There's a new Blade Runner in town, and she's out for blood. Replicant blood. When a rich industrialist's wife and young daughter go missing, seemingly the victims of a Replicant kidnapping, Blade Runner Ash is called in to rescue them before they end up on a slab or worse. As Ash's investigation deepens she uncovers a shocking secret that could very well end up costing her her life.
The first series, ''Blade Runner: 2019'' is a intequel to the films. It then skips ahead ten years to ''Blade Runner: 2099''
It, furthermore, has a prequel called ''Blade Runner: Origins'' that is set ten years before the first film.
The series, of course, has many tropes in common with ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''Film/BladeRunner2049''.

* AdvertOverloadedFuture: The city of Los Angeles is covered in neon advertisements at any given moment of the day.
* AlternateTimeline: As befitting the fact that it has since passed 2019 and 2009.
* {{Antihero}}: Blade Runners are treated as this since their jobs involve terminating people who just want to live free.
* AlternativeTuringTest: The Voight Kampff Test is frequently brought up.
* ArtificialHumans: The Nexus series of Replicants remain indistinguishable from humans save through the Voight Kampff test.
* BattleInTheRain: A frequent thing that occurs between the protagonists and their enemies.
* BlackAndGrayMorality: People are either utterly vile or morally compromised with almost no one inbetween.
* {{Chiaroscuro}}: The comic books are exceptionally dark and in shading and color while still having color.
* CityOfNoir: Los Angeles is a city that is riddled with corruption, cruelty, and violence.
* CrapsackWorld: The planet is utterly ruined environmentally, food is scarce for anyone but the wealthy, and even the rich eat ants for protein. The rich and healthy have (almost) all moved to space, leaving behind only the poor and sickly.
* {{Cyberpunk}}: The rain-soaked neon-filled dystopia of Los Angeles in the film is replicated perfectly here. Up to and including all the class inequality and corruption that characterizes the genre.
* CyberpunkWithAChanceOfRain: As befitting a spin off of the original movie, it is constantly raining in many panels.
* FantasticRacism: Replicants are hated and despised by many characters, including the protagonists.
* WhatMeasureIsANonhuman: Averted, actually. The Replicants are treated as people by the story and those people who deny it are simply fooling themselves.

Winner of the 2020 SCRIBE AWARD for best Graphic Novel, this critically acclaimed graphic novel, is the official sequel to the cult classic 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. Co-written by Michael Green, the Academy Award nominated screenwriter of Film/{{Logan}}, ''Film/BladeRunner2049'', and ''Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress''.
Return to the original rain-soaked dystopic world of Los Angeles, 2019. A hardboiled future noir world of renegade Replicants, deadly femme fatales, Spinners and bloody, violent death!
There's a new Blade Runner in town, and she's out for blood. Replicant blood. When a rich industrialist's wife and young daughter go missing, seemingly the victims of a Replicant kidnapping, Blade Runner Ash is called in to rescue them before they end up on a slab or worse. As Ash's investigation deepens she uncovers a shocking secret that could very well end up costing her her life.
The first series, ''Blade Runner: 2019'' is a intequel to the films. It then skips ahead ten years to ''Blade Runner: 2099''
It, furthermore, has a prequel called ''Blade Runner: Origins'' that is set ten years before the first film.
The series, of course, has many tropes in common with ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''Film/BladeRunner2049''.
