Great cover, good story, and ok interior artwork. One problem I have always had with Blade Runner is that the Blade Runners are so over matched by the Replicants. There do not seem to be tech advancements. The Blade Runners are still using old school rifles and shotguns, against robots faster stronger and more durable than they are.
Ash is back on Earth doing what she does best, with a slight twist. Her personal life could not be more different, and now she is chasing down a Replicant that got away. He is back with big plans and faith.
An ok book enough to keep me interested. I do wish they would stop teasing me with the incredible cover art and make the interior art match it. Also, how about taking advantage of the new tech available? The book finishes with a cover gallery with four to a page regular and varient covers. Also, a sketchbook with character designs and layout pages.

Here is another fine graphic novel from the Blade Runner universe. Following on from the Blade Runner 2019 comics we see Aahna 'Ash' Ashina return to Los Angeles in pursuit of an old enemy.
This time around there is less dialogue than usual, but plenty of excellent artwork. The huge wall protecting Los Angeles from another sunami (after the one in 2025) is one of my favourite drawings in the story.
It's great to see another original story set in the world of Blade Runner, especially one that doesn't just slavishly follow characters & stories from the films.

I loved the previous Blade Runner series and was thrilled to find myself hunting and helping replicants with Ash once again. Emphasis on helping this time around, as a noticeably older Ash is a wary member of the replicant underground. A splinter group, led by a one-time adversary of Ash's, has decided that the replicant bill has come due for humanity. They've got some truly stunning plans that make Reunion a showstopper right out of the gate. This 2029 trilogy is going to be great.
The art continues to be immaculate, a near-perfect representation of a polluted, inequality ridden future-L.A. The noir and detective elements are as strong as ever - Ash is on the case, with plenty of leads and dead ends mixed in with the adversary's backstory. As previously noted, Reunion kicks things up a notch, so the next two volumes might have to ditch the detecting for simply surviving.

And so we return to the world of Blade Runner's Los Angeles this time set in 2029. This is a direct sequel (all be it with a 10 year interval) to Blade Runner 2019 (hardly rocket science).
We now have Ash working again as a Blade Runner (dont worry no spoilers its pretty much self evident from the front cover - let alone any of the preface to the book itself) - however things are different. But that is only the start to the storyline.
This is part of the re-boot Blade Runner universe, with both Origins and 2019 expanding the world humans and Replicants live in we will start to see more and more of this world (I believe they want to make a live action TV series as well impressive Black Lotus animated one and the supporting graphic novel coming out next year).
For me the environment, buildings and designs are as important if not more so than the characters and the storyline and this series has captured that perfectly. I cannot wait to see where the story goes in the next two instalments.

I am a huge fan of the original Blade Runner movie. I saw it a dozen times in the theatre. When I saw this graphic novel, I had to have a copy. Wow! No regrets! This is the first volume in the series, and I already ordered the other two and can’t wait to read them. The graphics are awesome and full colour. The story has the essence of the original movie and totally captured my attention. Splendid graphic novel!

Can't get enough Blade Runner content. I'm so glad they keep turning these things out. This one seems to be a direct prequel to events in the film BR 2049, with a group of rogue replicants out to cause havoc and bring down LA's recently-completed seawall. Is this a precursor to the destruction of records that was referred to in the film? Our protagonist, Ash, is still plying her trade as a blade runner, though more often than not these days, she's helping replicants to escape. She gets pulled into the mystery surrounding Yutan, the leader of the replicants who destroy the seawall, who should have died years before (he's a Nexus 6, with the built-in shortened lifespan). How is he still alive? Looks like there'll be at least another volume before we get all the answers. Great artwork in this. Highly recommended.

This picks up not too long after the conclusion of the 2019 series. Ash is back in LA, back as a Blade Runner (it's a little odd that in-world characters now use the term "Blade Runner," as that was never spoken in the films) with the police. But now she's also helping the surviving replicants to find safety for their remaining time. She encounters a replicant she'd hunted years earlier, who turns out to be leading a revolution, along with advancing replicant life in new ways. Interesting plot points, with good pacing. The main connection to the films in this story is the construction of the seawall, which will play a role in 2049.
The difficulty this series faces is in following Ash for so many years. Most characters in Blade Runner don't survive the duration of one film, let alone many years. So far, Ash's story is fine, though in 2029 (so far) she seems less integral to the plot than in 2019. I'm curious to see where this series goes, and how much it connects to 2049 by the end.

Reasonably good. I will probably buy the sequel, as well.

I mean, "Replicant" is a much cooler name than "Andy". Sorry Philip K. Dick. But it’s just the truth.

The series remains much less cerebral than the movies, but also fun and the change makes sense for this format. It clips along nicely, love the art, builds on the previous ones well. Cliffhanger was good. No complaints.
July 1, 2021
Really gritty and perfect for the feel of the BR universe. Loved this new intro and storyline, the replicant love interest, the underground world where they are free, and the Blade Runner who has mixed morals, saving/freeing some replicants, and killing others. The whole volume really works well together and it does end on cliffy.

Blade Runner 2029, Vol. I: Reunion continues the saga that began in Blade Runner 2019, following former Blade Runner Aahna “Ash” Ashina as she navigates a changing Los Angeles where the lines between Replicant and human have grown even blurrier. Set a decade after the events of the previous series, this volume finds Ash torn between her past life as a hunter and her new role as a reluctant protector of the very beings she once pursued. It’s a story of guilt, identity, and quiet rebellion — one that adds emotional weight and moral depth to the Blade Runner universe without losing its hard-edged sci-fi appeal.
Returning author Mike Johnson once again show their deep understanding of what makes Blade Runner tick. The world feels lived-in, decayed, and yet still hauntingly beautiful. They expand the mythology naturally, giving us a story that feels intimate yet connected to the grander questions of humanity and freedom that define the franchise. There’s a sense of maturity in 2029 — both in Ash’s character arc and in the storytelling itself — as if the series has grown more reflective and nuanced with time.
Andres Guinaldo returns on art duties, and his work here feels slightly stronger and more confident than in 2019. His cityscapes pulse with neon melancholy, and his attention to detail in the mechanical and human elements alike gives the world a tactile realism. Still, as with the previous installment, I found myself wishing for just a bit more grit — more grime, more shadow, more of that noir suffocation that makes Blade Runner so visually distinct. The art is undeniably strong, but at times it’s a little too clean for a story built on moral decay.
Like the previous story, the pacing, while generally solid, occasionally stumbles under the weight of a few too-convenient resolutions. Certain plot beats feel rushed — moments where tension is defused by coincidence or unexplained turns — and those deus ex machina touches can momentarily break immersion. But they don’t ruin the experience; rather, they remind you that this series is ambitious, sometimes reaching just beyond its grasp.
Ultimately, Blade Runner 2029: Reunion is a worthy continuation — darker, more personal, and more emotionally resonant than its predecessor. It keeps the spirit of Blade Runner alive while pushing its characters and ideas into new territory. Despite its imperfections, it’s another compelling chapter in a world that remains as neon-lit and soul-stirring as ever.

Another solid entry in to the on-going Blade Runner saga from Titan Comics. The way the replicants are shown to be sympathetic terrorists is ripe with potential I’m excited to see where it goes.

Ashina’s narrative continues, this time with a batch of rogue Nexus 8 models causing concern. The underlying slave narrative gives way to a insurgency but Volume 1 ends abruptly with little to no narrative closure. But we never expected that until Volume 3
April 16, 2021
An okay volume, but it ended on a cliffhanger so there was no real closure I guess until the next volume. Overall it's okay, but I'm finding myself a little less interested as this series goes on. The art suits the grittiness of the Blade Runner universe, but I wish it could be better, especially with some of the ugly character drawings. Otherwise, not sure if I'll continue reading or not.

Blade Runner 2029 Vol. 1 Reunion (2021)
Publisher: Titan Comics
Writer: Mike Johnson
Artist: Andres Guinaldo
Colours: Marco Lesko
Lettering: Jim Campbell
Story
The collection starts off with a handy recap and background on the story so far and the world of Blade Runner:
Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. Replicants were used off-world as slave labour in hazardous exploration and colonization.
Replicants who escaped and returned to Earth are hunted by special police squads - Blade Runner Units - with orders to kill any trespassing replicant upon detection.
In 2022, a replicant attack on the Tyrell Corporation erased all records of existing replicants and forced the company into bankruptcy. The surviving Nexus 8 models disappeared with the help of the Replicant Underground. Many Replicants remained in servitude.
In 2027, Aahna "Ash" Ashina, a former Blade Runner, re-joined the department to hunt down fugitive replicants. Her superiors are unaware that her loyalties are divided…
Blade Runner 2029 follows Ash as she uses her status and skill as a Blade Runner to help the replicants she's supposed to destroy disappear under the radar and live freely. After an encounter with a self-destructive replicant posing as a dock worker she discovers a grand plot masterminded by the Replicant Underground led by Yotun, a replicant she ran into in the past. Yotun and his crew have been collecting a mass of old replicants with the aim of repairing and reviving them to take over L.A. or some such.
Review
The first volume of Blade Runner 2029 provides a solid and intriguing start to the series. Even though it is a sequel to the Blade Runner 2019 graphic novel series (which I haven't read at the time of this review) it stands well on its own right, the comic opens with a mini flashback scene to provide background to the main character and antagonist, before returning to modern times.
The art style emulates that of the original movie very well, even sneaking in a few nods to its cinematography here and there. It portrays a dark and brooding neo-city battered by the unstable environment, where it always seems to be night and the rain is so polluted it's acidic. The character design is a bit bland, none of the main characters really stand out making things feel a bit generic.
Overall I thought it was slightly-better-than mediocre, worth checking out if you're a fan of the series or into dystopian, cyberpunk aesthetics. I'm looking forward to the next volume and may check out the prequel in the meantime.

Blade Runner 2029, Vol. 1 – Reunion kicks off an excellent new arc in the dystopian world of Blade Runner. Set ten years after the events of Blade Runner 2019, this graphic novel continues to explore the gritty, morally complex future where replicants—illegal androids—exist in the margins of society and the minds of those tasked with hunting them down.
For new readers, the term "skinjobs" might initially be confusing—it’s a derogatory slang term for replicants. The series doesn't always pause to define such terms, assuming some prior familiarity with the Blade Runner universe, but the context quickly makes the meaning clear.
The story wastes no time in diving into its central tension. A powerful quote encapsulates the world’s hypocrisy:
“Replicants are banned on Earth. And yet all of you who can afford them, own them. You refuse to abide by the laws you write. Your hypocrisy is your downfall.”
The narrative is laced with striking dialogue that sets the tone and hints at deeper themes of trust, control, and rebellion. Highlights include:
“An anonymous tip. Says there’s a skinjob working the construction.”
“And you got friends here, you know that. It’s just… watch who you trust, yeah?”
“Verification will not be a problem.”
“Don’t call it construction. Call it baptism.”
Each line reveals something about the world’s power structures and the characters’ personal battles. The last line especially is evocative, reframing technological labor as something almost spiritual or redemptive.
Minor critique: there's a small spelling error (“tocixity”) in the text, which briefly disrupts the otherwise polished presentation.
Overall, Vol. 1 – Reunion is a compelling start, rich in atmosphere and social commentary, and promises a complex, emotionally resonant journey ahead.

I love the Blade Runner universe. Blade Runner is one of my all time favorite films. Blade Runner 2029 is a direct prequel to events in the film BR 2049 and series as a sequel of sorts to the original film. The plot revolves around a group of rogue replicants out to cause havoc and bring down LA's recently-completed seawall. Our protagonist, Ash, is still plying her trade as a blade runner, though more often than not these days, she's helping replicants to escape, after she became "reformed" through the events featured in the previous comics. We see Ash as she gets pulled into the mystery surrounding Yutan, the leader of the replicants who destroy the seawall, who should have died years before (he's a Nexus 6, with the built-in shortened lifespan). Can you stop Yutan before he destroys Los Angeles?
The storyline and art here are high caliber. I cannot say enough good things about this graphic novel.

What is This Book About? Ash is a Blade Runner, back with the police department after helping some people escape earth. In her spare time, she’s also helping replicants find safety from the cruel arm of retirement justice. Something in her past comes back to haunt her though. Something that is giving the replicants religion. And power.
My Review: Just when I didn’t think they could improve upon the Blade Runner 2019 story in terms of IP originality, they go and create this masterpiece in Blade Runner 2029. I love that Ashina is still Blade Running, but she’s also kind of not, since she’s helping run an underground railroad to get Replicants away from the authorities that want them dead. I also appreciate her evolving relationship and the dynamic it adds when there’s someone looking out for her. The villain was a superb manifestation of corrupted brilliance and exploited idolatry.
Three words that describe this book: noir, cyberpunk, hardboiled
Give this a try if you like: Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, Titanium Noir

A really solid, moody slice of cyberpunk. If you’re into rainy streets, neon lights, and everyone looking morally exhausted - this hits the spot. Ash is a great lead: a former Blade Runner who now helps Replicants instead of hunting them, which flips the usual formula in a cool way.
The art totally captures that Blade Runner vibe, and the story moves at a good pace with plenty of action and shady corporate stuff. It feels like part of the universe without just rehashing the movies.
It’s not mind-blowing, but it’s stylish and has just enough depth to keep you hooked. Definitely worth checking out if you like your sci-fi dark and a little messy.

Second story arc starts explosively with Ash's failed arrest attempt 10 years earlier - replicant successfully escapes and Ash is left intentionally as a witness of his escape.
Back in the time of the story Ash starts to follow very disturbing religious cult of replicants - as is case with majority of cults main prize here is immortality. But what are the true goals of the mysterious cult leader?
Art is standardly excellent.
Highly recommended to fans of cyberpunk and SF.

It's ok. I like the gonzo feel of the PKD original, and loved the 1980s movie version, and liked the recent movie as well. I think this goes wrong in having the main character go stealthily subversive and start helping the skin jobs she is supposed to hunt. The scene where she ambles into a club filled with them seems more than a little goofy.
The art is good. The dialogue is pretty sparse, which might have helped it a little.

2029 c'est bientôt ?!? encore personne n'a inventé les Replicants, ouf.
Un comic dans l’univers de Blade Runner qui peut créer de la confusion pour ceux qui auraient des difficultés à situer cette histoire dans le temps (moi), et qui n’apporte rien d’original pour ceux qui connaissent l’univers sur le bout des doigts (pas moi, mais je me souviens du premier film avec Harrison Ford, et c'est toujours la même chose, à mon avis)

Back to the world of Blade Runner for some more Ash adventures. Blade Runner 2019 was a fun read, it was nice to revisit this world in comic book form and Ash's story was compelling enough to keep me invested. This sequel hasn't quite grabbed me yet in the same way, but the best thing of these first four issues of 2029 is that the world still feels right, a natural expansion of the world created by Phillip K. Dick and fleshed out on film by Riddley Scott.

Picks up the adventures of Ash, 10 years later. In that time, a new crazed replicant has arisen, bent on ending the oppression of his….well, can’t call them people. The way he cheats his programmed death and his plans for humanity inject enough intrigue to make him a worthy antagonist. Art is solid, capturing the gritty, lived-in feel of this universe.
August 5, 2021
this series is a real hidden gem, just perfectly calibrated to what a Bladerunner spinoff should look and feel like. In an age where they are rebooting The Matrix, HBO is probably eventually gonna take a swing at a prestige Bladerunner tv show, and until then these Ash stories will just be chilling here.
December 21, 2023
A solid start to another trilogy following Ash. Sets up a new and charismatic antagonist. Mostly, I really enjoyed seeing the manifestation of the changes that Ash's character went through in the prior trilogy, so you can really feel the difference between who she is now compared to who she started out as.
July 19, 2021
Yet another strong volume of Blade Runner, though this one ends a bit abruptly. This one could have used another issue for a more satisfying conclusion. Still, the Blade Runner comics are hard to put down and 2029 vol. 1 is no exception.
