I love the Blade Runner universe. Blade Runner is one of my all time favorite films. Blade Runner 2029 is a direct prequel to events in the film BR 2049 and series as a sequel of sorts to the original film. The plot revolves around a group of rogue replicants out to cause havoc and bring down LA's recently-completed seawall. Our protagonist, Ash, is still plying her trade as a blade runner, though more often than not these days, she's helping replicants to escape, after she became "reformed" through the events featured in the previous comics. We see Ash as she gets pulled into the mystery surrounding Yutan, the leader of the replicants who destroy the seawall, who should have died years before (he's a Nexus 6, with the built-in shortened lifespan). Can you stop Yutan before he destroys Los Angeles? The storyline and art here are high caliber. I cannot say enough good things about this graphic novel.
