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.

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.

Really gritty and perfect for the feel of the Blade Runner universe. Loved this new intro and storyline, the replicant love interest, the underground world where the replicants 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.
