Blade Runner 2019: Vol. 1: Los Angeles by Mike Johnson, Michael Green
3.0
Blade Runner is really cool. This book is kind of like a Wal Mart version of that. It’s certainly not horrible, I’d even say it’s “good”, but the biggest downfall of this book is that it’s just okay.
Blade Runner 2019 doesn’t really try anything crazy or new in the world of Blade Runner. I’m not saying I have a better idea for a story that could take place in this world, but I just didn’t feel so compelled by the events of this one.
The art was actually very nice to look at, and it did indulge me in those splashes of neon cityscape juxtaposed to the underbelly of Los Angeles so that was definitely a plus. The writing though, was just alright. It kind of just stuck to the page. I think it tried a little too hard to be clever and ended up just being dull because of that.
Not a horrid waste of time or anything, but I’m certainly excited to get to the other things I picked out at the library.
