Titan Comics has released an official trailer and preview pages for the debut edition of Blade Runner: Origins.
The series takes place in the year 2009, an entire decade before the events of the original Blade Runner movie. Detective Cal Moreaux of the LAPD is responsible for the apparent suicide of one of the leading scientists at the Tyrell Corporation. While conducting his investigation, Moreaux finds several documents suggesting the construction of a new breed of Replicant – and a dark secret in Tyrell’s heart. Mike Johnson, who wrote Blade Runner 2019 and its series of sequences currently in progress Blade Runner 2029, joined K. Perkins (Supergirl) and Mellow Brown as co-writers of Blade Runner: Origins. Fernando Dagnino (Suicide squad) will provide art for the series.
The preview pages for Blade Runner: Origins # 1 features Moreaux and his official colleagues finding two replicants, which leads to a bloody result. Another page features a look at Los Angeles 2009; although the structure presents a futuristic inclination, it is a far cry from the skyscrapers and flying cars associated with the Blade Runner universe. Blade Runner: Origins # 1 will also feature variant versions of artists like Stanley ‘Artgerm’ Lau and Peach Momoko.
A senior bioengineer at Tyrell Corp is found hanged in his sealed laboratory, the victim of an apparent suicide. LAPD detective Cal Moreaux – a war-scarred veteran of the bloody conflict outside the world known as Kalanthia, as portrayed in the anime “Blackout 2022” Blade Runner – is sent to write it, quickly, quietly and with minimal to discuss. But something does not agree with the detective, and it soon becomes clear that this is a “normal” suicide. Did the scientist’s groundbreaking research on Nexus Model Replicants in any way contribute to her death? And the apparent disappearance of a prototype Nexus unit is also connected to the case? Det. Moreaux’s investigation will lead to a dark conspiracy behind Dr. Tyrell’s Replicant empire.
Origins of the Blade Runner # 1, by Mike Johnson, K. Perkins and Mellow Brown, hits stores on February 24, 2021 by Titan Comics.
