Comments

Blade Runner is one of the most beloved sci-fi properties of all time, but compared to its contemporaries like Star Wars and Star Trek, its extra material pales in comparison. Beyond its two feature films, an excellent 1997 video game, animated series, and several novels, Blade Runner has been the focus of several well-received comic books, and if you're looking to read up on adventures set in that movie universe, you can grab a great deal on several graphic novels right now.

Both collections consist of three graphic novels packaged inside of an attractive slipcase, making for some attractive reading, and as an added bonus, you get several art cards with them that deserve to be framed and displayed. Thanks to the all-star art team, these graphic novels look fantastic, with each page popping with color.

Originally published by Titan Comics, the Blade Runner graphic novels flesh out the IP with new characters and stories. Both box sets are available for steep discounts at Amazon, and these make for good-looking gifts if you happen to have a comic book fan in your home.

Blade Runner 2019 focuses on LAPD detective, Aahna 'Ash' Ashina, who has been assigned to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Isobel and Cleo Selwyn, the wife and daughter of business tycoon, Alexander Selwyn, a close personal friend of Eldon Tyrell. Ash's search leads her into the criminal underworld of LA and to the promised land of the Off-World Colonies as she becomes entangled in a massive conspiracy that forces her to confront her own hatred for Replicants.

In Blade Runner 2029, Ash returns to the rain-soaked streets of a slowly crumbling Los Angeles to hunt down renegade Replicants, but this time she has a new agenda to follow and could find herself becoming public enemy number one.

For more comic book options, don't forget to check out Humble's current special on Halo graphic novels, which offers a ton of comic book adventures for just $18. And if you want to watch the two Blade Runner movies in stunning 4K, Amazon has Blade Runner: The Final Cut and Blade Runner 2049 for great prices. If you want to see where the classic franchise all started, you should definitely pick up Philip K. Dick's beloved novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
