Philip K. Dick’s groundbreaking novel, *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep*, published in 1968, laid the foundation for the influential cyberpunk genre. This seminal work inspired Ridley Scott’s iconic 1982 film, *Blade Runner*, which has since expanded into a thriving franchise, including the 2017 sequel *Blade Runner 2049* and the highly anticipated Prime Video series *Blade Runner 2099*, set to debut in 2025. The franchise has also given rise to a collection of official graphic novels that delve deeper into its richly detailed universe.
The latest installment, *Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus*, launched in February, introduces a new home planet to the *Blade Runner* galaxy. Additionally, the *Blade Runner 2039 Box Set*, scheduled for release on June 3, will conclude the ongoing saga of Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina, the groundbreaking first female Blade Runner, as she seeks to uncover a conspiracy that affects both humans and Replicants. Preorders for this box set are currently available, with previous volumes (*Blade Runner 2019* and *Blade Runner 2029*) being offered at attractive discounts.
In anticipation of the *Blade Runner 2099* series, fans are encouraged to explore other graphic novels from the *Blade Runner* franchise, along with a curated selection of art books that provide insight into the making of the films and multiple editions of Philip K. Dick’s original work.
