Josh

A book that manages a time-jump effectively。 With engaging art and storytelling, Green, Johnson, and Guinaldo continue this new narrative of the blade runner world with the complex interplays of politics and survival that continue to drive the series。

Lucas Maas

Green continues this riveting thriller in a setting that Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve never explored。 The vision of "off-world" and the tasks of replicants are brilliantly illustrated to give readers and Blade Runner fans a better understanding of worlds beyond Earth。 Green continues this riveting thriller in a setting that Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve never explored。 The vision of "off-world" and the tasks of replicants are brilliantly illustrated to give readers and Blade Runner fans a better understanding of worlds beyond Earth。 。。。more

Erofan

Excellent continuation of the first volume! The comic clearly reveals the concept of the Blade Runner universe!

Libra

The story continues with more exciting content。

Craig

Not a whole lot actually happens in this volume, though the artwork continues to be excellent。 This reads like the middle chapter of a trilogy (which is what it appears to be, at this point)。 Still, there can't be enough Blade Runner content in the world, IMHO, so this will do for now。。。 Not a whole lot actually happens in this volume, though the artwork continues to be excellent。 This reads like the middle chapter of a trilogy (which is what it appears to be, at this point)。 Still, there can't be enough Blade Runner content in the world, IMHO, so this will do for now。。。 。。。more

I was slightly apprehensive, as "off world" has never been established in the films。 Mentioned plenty, just never shown。But it works。 And the art is still good。 I was slightly apprehensive, as "off world" has never been established in the films。 Mentioned plenty, just never shown。But it works。 And the art is still good。 。。。more

Part 2 is still excellent。 The art seems a bit more rushed, but the story remains interesting。 Again, terrific with the setting。

Pablo Martinez

There are some Alien vibes here (sans the xenomorph) which is somewhat fitting considering both things were started by Ridley Scott, and studios even tried to link them。

Collecting issues 5-8 of the ongoing series we return to the story of Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina and Cleo whom she saved at the end of the last book。 Several years have passed and they are now on the run。 Cleo has grown-up a bit and attached to Ash as they have made it off earth。 The story centers around Cleo (pretending to be a boy to stay in hiding) who is separated from Ash。 The story really picks up when Ash is found and pulled back into being a hunter。 As a Dickian it is interesting to see the fron Collecting issues 5-8 of the ongoing series we return to the story of Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina and Cleo whom she saved at the end of the last book。 Several years have passed and they are now on the run。 Cleo has grown-up a bit and attached to Ash as they have made it off earth。 The story centers around Cleo (pretending to be a boy to stay in hiding) who is separated from Ash。 The story really picks up when Ash is found and pulled back into being a hunter。 As a Dickian it is interesting to see the frontier that was mentioned in the source material but not shown。 Friend of our Dickheads podcast Evan Lampe who has written and podcasted about PKD for years often talked about Phil and the frontier。 In the early years, the off-camera frontier was an ongoing theme that he revisited from time to time。 It is not as if he didn’t ever take us to the frontier (some of the best examples are Martian Time-Slip and Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch。That said the frontier in Do Androids and Blade Runner both remain nothing more than a commercial pitch and a legend mentioned but unseen。 For the creators of the book actually showing us the Off-world colonies does come with serious risk。 Blade Runner fans have had decades to fill in those gaps。 The good news is we only saw one off-world mining colony so there is still room for the story to grow into the legend。 The one colony we saw was pretty drab and ugly and does kinda look like somewhere the Nostromo might pick-up ore。 Certainly, this didn’t look like a place worth leaving earth for。 The art didn’t feel as strong to me in this set of issues。 The story also was not quite as strong as the last one。 I was entertained but not as blown away as I was by the first volume。 When I finished the first volume I wished there was a movie of that story, but I was happy with this one as is。 The first volume seemed to explore the themes a little stronger with the ethics of replicants tied more directly to the narrative。 Also, the grey area between ethical and non-ethical replicants was lost。 Everyone but Cleo and her friend seemed like awful people。Still entertaining but not as strong as the first volume。 Excited to read part 3! 。。。more

This started out as ok, and then I really liked where it was going, even though it's your typical Blade Runner story and that pretty much sums it up。 Good guys bad guys guns running around hide and seek etc。 If you're into that and also if you're into beautiful artwork then this is your thing。 This started out as ok, and then I really liked where it was going, even though it's your typical Blade Runner story and that pretty much sums it up。 Good guys bad guys guns running around hide and seek etc。 If you're into that and also if you're into beautiful artwork then this is your thing。 。。。more

Wonderful read。 Continues the story from the first Volume beautiful and for any fan of Blade Runner, these compliment Blade Runner 2049 and the world created around it with the short films released in the build up to the films theatrical release。Recommended。

Enjoying this series。

Off-World picks up a few years after Los Angeles left off, with Cleo and Ash hiding out in a mining colony。 Nice to see the Blade Runner universe expanding off Earth。 Replicants continue to play a prominent role, though Ash is no longer hunting them。 Instead, she's trying to get Cleo to safety。It's a fairly simplistic plot with few surprises。 Still, it's carefully paced, sparingly written, and wonderfully illustrated。 I'm really digging this series, even if Off-World offered fewer of the hearty Off-World picks up a few years after Los Angeles left off, with Cleo and Ash hiding out in a mining colony。 Nice to see the Blade Runner universe expanding off Earth。 Replicants continue to play a prominent role, though Ash is no longer hunting them。 Instead, she's trying to get Cleo to safety。It's a fairly simplistic plot with few surprises。 Still, it's carefully paced, sparingly written, and wonderfully illustrated。 I'm really digging this series, even if Off-World offered fewer of the hearty noir twists from the first volume。 。。。more

И смея да твърдя, че Блейд Рънър е една от най-интересните вселени във фантастиката。 А всяка една история добавя още фрагменти към цялостната картина。

Justin

Reasonably brisk。 I assume it’ll wrap up at 12 and then be published as another trade and a collected hardcover。 The catalogue of alternate covers in the back makes me actively angry。

Evans Light

Entertaining enough, but not nearly as good as volume one。 The narrative awkwardly jumps back and forth in time, and the artwork is much more drab and less finished than the previous collection。

Florin Pitea

Very good script。 Very good graphics。 Recommended。

Rob Caswell

Pretty good, but didn't quite connect with me like the first volume。 Story takes a time and venue jump。 On the plus side it lets you explore more of Blade Runner's extended world, but I felt like "the off world colonies" just looked and felt like an extension of the Blade Runner LA we've already seen。 I think they missed a chance to develop something that felt like it was part of the universe, but decidedly off-Earth and unique。 Pretty good, but didn't quite connect with me like the first volume。 Story takes a time and venue jump。 On the plus side it lets you explore more of Blade Runner's extended world, but I felt like "the off world colonies" just looked and felt like an extension of the Blade Runner LA we've already seen。 I think they missed a chance to develop something that felt like it was part of the universe, but decidedly off-Earth and unique。 。。。more

Fantastic continuation of the first story。 Move over Deckard and K, everyone’s favourite Blade Runner should be Ashina from here on。

Chris Robertson

Man, this moved fast。 I am a slow reader: I like to reflect as I read and savor the art。 I did a double take when even I covered over 60 pages in 15 minutes。 Made me have to go back and check if I missed something, which I hate。 I didn’t。 Everything is more skeletal this time, art/story。 Sad。 The tribute to one of the effects designers for Blade Runner who passed felt more fleshed out。 Will still continue the series, but I hope it finishes strong。
