Dive Into The World Of Blade Runner With These New Graphic Novels

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was written by Philip K. Dick in 1968, and is considered one of the seminal works of the now-popular cyberpunk genre. Decades later, the dystopian sci-fi novel would become the basis for the iconic Ridley Scott’s 1982 film, Blade Runner. Since then, the film’s version of the story has been expanded with the 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049 and the upcoming Prime Video series Blade Runner 2099, set to release in 2025. The film has also inspired a series of official graphic novels that explore new corners of the cyberpunk setting.

One of the newest additions is Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus, which arrived in February and adds a whole new home planet to the Blade Runner universe. And on June 3, Blade Runner 2039 Box Set will conclude the long-running tale of Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, the first-ever female Blade Runner, and her mission to unravel a conspiracy with implications for both humanity and Replicants. Preorders are now open for the box set ahead of its arrival, and you’ll find its predecessors (Blade Runner 2019 and Blade Runner 2029) available at nice discounts.

There are several other Blade Runner graphic novels out there that are worth checking out ahead of the new Blade Runner 2099 Prime Video series, and we’ve rounded them up in the list below, along with a selection of Blade Runner art books that explore the creation of the films, plus multiple versions of Philip K. Dick’s original novel.
