action” - Comic Attack
Praise for Titan Comics' Blade Runner 2019 series:
"Pretty perfect" - Chicago Tribune
“[A] slick prequel comic ... the high-tech noir style, filled with
carefully rendered cityscapes and machinery, fits the material like
a glove ... a well-made tribute” - Publisher's Weekly
“Captures the tone of the source material while thrillingly
expanding the scope of the larger world only hinted at in the
films, resulting in the rare licensed title that feels essential
instead of perfunctory” - Library Journal
“A compelling tale that links to the film without being slavish to
it ... The dialogue is terse and hard-boiled, the action sparse and
well-executed. Andres Guinaldo’s terrific art fully captures the
look and spirit of the films ... a terrific tale and hopefully the
first of many” - SFX
"Hits all the right notes, from nostalgia to pacing to the new,
foreboding angle, and the latest brooding protagonist" -
Tor.com
"Everything I could have wanted in a Blade Runner story. It’s new,
it’s original, but you know the terrain. I love it" - Bleeding
Cool
"Offering another rich window into this world rife with story
potential Blade Runner 2019 #1 is the best possible scenario when
it comes to a new “expanded universe” connected to an iconic film
franchise" - Newsarama
"A blend of hardboiled noir and grungy sci-fi that means 2019
instantly feels at home in the Blade Runner canon. It’s an engaging
tale, with much mystery set up and a thrilling cliffhanger that’ll
leave you eagerly awaiting the next issue" - Starburst Magazine
"Nails the sci-fi noir tone of the films but doesn’t feel like its
retreading familiar ground … likely to hooks fans and have them
coming back for more" - ComicBook.com
“An utterly immersive experience featuring an emotionally engaging
story, bolstered by some exquisite artwork of the first-water.
Don’t miss out on this one” - Flickering Myth
"This series is a treasure trove of cyberpunk storytelling and any
excuse it gives readers to explore it is a good one" - Graphic
Policy
“Guinaldo’s pencils are superb, gritty and grotty yet glamorous as
Blade Runner should be ... The action is brutal and punchy, but
never gratuitously so... An excellent ride, and the best part? It’s
only the beginning of Titan’s exploration of this iconic world” -
