The Fandom Post - Daniel Feathers
Mar 10, 2021Blade Runner Origins issue 1 is a comic that has all of the hallmarks of a neo-noir story, almost to a fault. The dialogue is moody, the atmosphere is crushing, the art is dark, and the characters are all appropriately shady and guarded. It's quintessentially Blade Runner. However, Blade Runner is kind of all it is right now. It feels like something that could be good, great even. But so far it's just enjoyable. Read Full Review

Looks like the soulless Tyrell Corporation will take a more active role as this villain in this run. The art looks great too. I'm sold. I don't get the opening scene though, maybe that will make more sense later.

This is only the first issue, so this is an introduction, and it is perfectly understandable. Consequently, the story is not very fast yet, but it does seem interesting. It looks like the authors use a few clichés (detective tough guy, androids in the wild, secret corporation), but the comic reads surprisingly well. Of course, it doesn't even compare to the original "Blade Runner", but as entertainment it works well.
