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 "It's sparing, it's beautiful... makes the comic feel like a classic noir tale" - Perfect Organism "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 "A fantastic comic to expand the world of the films ... 5/5" - But Why Tho "Intriguing storytelling combines with an excellent look into a familiar world to tell a new tale in the Blade Runner franchise" - Multiversity Comics "Captur[es] the Blade Runner mythos while planting the seeds to a story that could be as riveting as its start" - Hulking Reviewer "Guinaldo's pencils evoke the film's angles and lighting with a hectic grit" - Rogues Portal "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 "Truly felt like an extension of the film ... 5/5" - Nerdly "Their atmospheric-noir script respectfully honours Blade Runner's past while crafting enough intrigue about its new investigative story" - Set The Tape "Appropriately encapsulates the tone of characters, friendships and relationships ... [the] presentation is incredible from the front cover onwards" - Zombie Chimp "The artwork looks like it could have been pulled from the film's concept art" - SciFi 4 Me "Titan Comics hugely impressive extension of the cinematic world really hits the ground running" - Flickering Myth "A taut, film noir-esque thriller ... a great read and worthy successor and addition to the Blade Runner mythos" - Forces of Geek "A sophisticated bit of Christian Ward brilliance, delicately rendered with porcelain grace and dizzying ability." - Doomrocket "A perfect balance of futuristic punk and noir ... Cutting dialogue intensifies mood and character-building ... Blade Runner 2019 is what a great comic should be" - Aurealis "The story & plot development is strong, smooth and utterly daring" - Reading With A Flight Ring
