Blade Runner 2039 Volume 1: Luv — Mike Johnson

Los Angeles, 2039. Twenty years ago, former Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina helped a young girl and her surrogate Replicant mother escape from the clutches of her sadistic father – the business tycoon, Alexander Selwyn. Now, Cleo Selwyn has returned from the Off-world colony of Arcadia to Los Angeles in search of her ‘mother’, Isobel, whom she believes is the victim of an abduction orchestrated by Niander Wallace. For three years, Niander Wallace has been manufacturing his new line of ‘perfectly obedient’ Replicants and now, in 2039, his personal assistant, Luv, has become the first Replicant to be assigned to the LAPD Blade Runner Division. Searching for answers, Cleo sets out to track-down Ash, who for the past ten years has been living off the grid, unaware that Luv has been ordered to find and retire anyone who comes to her aid… Collects Blade Runner 2039 #1-4. “Blade Runner continues to ride a euphoric high in its storytelling.” – Set The Tape
