Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus delivers a new take in the Blade Runner universe

Posted on April 25, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

Titan Comics has announced a new take on the iconic Blade Runner universe with Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus. Set in the sprawling neon metropolis of Tokyo, the three-part, 12-issue saga will be scripted by break-out writer Kianna Shore and returning creator Mellow Brown, with art by Rodolfo Taibo.

Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus follows the sole survivors of an ill-fated Off-World military squad—Stix, a Replicant combat model, and Mead, a battle-hardened Marine—and their dogged search for an unknown traitor who left them to die on the battlefield. After escaping back to Tokyo, the unlikely pair’s quest for revenge leads to their formation of a clandestine private detective service.

Stix and Mead stray into an even more treacherous battlefield, a three-way “patent war” between the ruthless operatives from the Tyrell Corporation and a rival tech company known as Chesire, with its own version of synthetic humans, and powerful Yakuza clans wanting in on the action.

Blade Runner Tokyo Nexus #1 features a range of incredible covers, from artists including Christian Ward and Paul Pope. Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus #1 goes on sale July 31, 2024.
