It is time to check the other current comic I am reading. There are only two at the moment. This was released some time ago but it took this long to get to reading it. Blade Runner 2029 is continuation of Blade Runner 2019. I guess I feared it wouldn’t be as good as 2019. I was wrong. This is better than 2019. First volume of 2019 took lot from original movie. Two later volumes moved more towards Blade Runner 2049. 2029 has moved away from original movie. Big element of it is building of one of the landmarks of Blade Runner 2049.
Blade Runner 2019 showed Ash’s journey from cold replicant hunter to friend of replicants. Ash’s future was left open. At start of 2029 she is blade runner again but this time she saves good replicants. Comic has found its own voice. References to movies are minimal. To be honest I am bit confused how what happens at the end of this volume should fit into 2049 and short movies which told timeline between the movies. I might be missing something. Otherwise this fits to 2049.
Blade Runner 2029 is good jumping on point. You don’t need to know what happen in 2019. It is more of its own thing than 2019. If you like either of the movies you should check this.
