Set 10 years after the original Blade Runner film (and 20 years before the recent sequel), Titan Comics' Blade Runner 2029 is an official, in-continuity story written by the co-writer of that recent film, Mike Johnson. Andres Guinaldo is drawing the series.

Blade Runner 2029 follows a runner named Ash who has come out of retirement, but is now using the job of secretary to assist her replicant targets in making a life for themselves.
