Blade Runner 2019 Vol. 2: Off World

This is a pretty big time skip in the book as we have Ash adopting the little girl Cleo and proceeding to raise her for the next ten years in the Offworld Colonies. She can't afford to be rich but it has kept her off the radar of the super-rich (or has it?).I was kind of iffy about this because we spend most of our time off Earth and I was expecting a lot more decadent luxury when finally getting a glimpse of those. After all, the whole purpose of Replicants is to provide humans with vast amounts of wealth in space, I was expecting something like Elysium. Then again, Ash and "Rabbit" are living in the worst parts of said society.I was wondering, briefly, if Rabbit was going to prove to be a trans child or nonbinary but she turns out to just have been passing herself off as a boy. I really liked their friendship with a young Replicant (which confused me as I wondered why they'd make them that age). I also liked Ashe's "partner" for the majority of the story. Hythe is an excellent and intimidating cyberpunk antagonist: the corporate mercenary.Still, I look forward to getting back to Earth.

Although this suffers from issues being the middle of a trilogy, this new Blade Runner arc is still very entertaining. Stunning visuals and a great bonus section at the end which includes all the individual covers of the monthly comic, I found myself once again immersed into the world of replicants. Some nice twists and well designed action sequences keep the reader flipping pages as fast as their fingers can turn the paper. I was delighted to learn that even after the next, final book in this trilogy, a new trilogy, set in 2029 will be released. Bring it on! I love being in this world and only wish it was longer and took its time more. My biggest problem is that things move too quickly and do not always feel organic, forcing the creative team to keep within the limits of the strict page count.

Picks up where it lefts off from the previous book. Great story. Great artwork. Can’t say more great things about it.

It was a Christmas gift and the receiver was very happy. The item was shipped fast and in perfect condition when it arrived.

We get a lot of lore from the off-world colonies, very interesting to see a lot of it. I also loved how they mentioned the blackout from 2022. And I think Ash is a great protagonist can't wait to read the next Vol!

I really like where this 'side story' to the original Blade Runner is going. I wasn't as interested in Vol 2's setting and arch as I was with Vol 1, but I'm def all-in to continue reading and see how the world grows. Between this story and the 2049 prequel mini-films I'm glad the BR universe is getting larger.

Must read to any Blade Runner fan

Great story but a few typos.

Very impressed. Artwork is wonderful. Having been a fan of the original movie since 1982 (even reading the Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep book many years later) I had no hesitation in wanting something new from this world. It's really quite fantastic that someone is carrying on the torch in an articulated Blade Runner comic series that has just as much an endearing classic quality.

Really enjoyed this volume. My only complaint it felt a bit short but it was the same 4 issues, maybe the complaint is I just wanted more. The art work is more anime styled.7 years have passed since the last book. The world has changed but has it just become more dangerous. There is now a war on, and wars never are about collateral damage of those hiding. Ash must face a reckoning 7 years in the making.Great story, like the artwork, enough action can't wait for the next volume. Finishes with a cover gallery with 1/4 page sized thumbnails of tge varient covers of each issue, and a sketch book as well.

Auch in dieser Form weiß die Welt von Philip K. Dick zu begeistern. Gerne mehr davon.

Fast and excellent quality.
