Follow the adventures of ex-LAPD detective CAL MOREAUX as he
investigates a seemingly straight-forward suicide of a TYRELL CORP
scientist and uncovers a desperate conspiracy that could see the
city of LA burned to the ground. This boxed set edition collects
all three volumes of the Blade Runner ORIGINS.
An exciting new graphic novel! Welcome to the world of Blade Runner
2009 and the birth of the BLADE RUNNER DIVISION. The slums of LA
are ablaze. Tyrell executive Ilora Stahl, head of a secret
programme to transfer human consciousness into Replicant hosts has
launched an all-out attack on Sector 6-b determined to flush out
and kill a renegade Replicant called Nia, who was once part of her
covert programme. Having escaped, Nia has been triggering logic
short-circuits in the organic programming of once loyal Replicant
servants, causing them to rebel against their human masters. Now as
Ilora's security force of Replicants attack the city, ex-LAPD
detective CAL MOREAUX has teamed up with an escaped experimental
REPLICANT called Asa, who has been uploaded with the consciousness
of a dead Tyrell scientist. Together they must expose Ilora's
conspiracy before the city burns to the ground. Writers K. Perkins
& Mellow Brown, and artists Fernando Dagnino and Marco Lesko
have brought a powerful new dynamic to the future noir world of
Blade Runner as they explore themes of gender identity, human
exploitation and slavery set against the backdrop of world on the
brink of ecological collapse and rampant unchecked genetic
manipulation.
Dagnino debuts his stunning story about a rogue android who has
become self-aware and discovers what it means to be alive. In the
near future, tech giant Gorgona holds a monopoly on computer-human
interfaces known as Schemata. These androids have become ubiquitous
with everyday life across the world. Yuki, un-affectionately called
'scrappy' by her owner, is a Smart Girl - an android servant used
for everything from security and domestics to carnal pleasure. When
she starts to malfunction, she is soon to be replaced and
destroyed. But something in her changes, and Yuki doesn't accept
her end, instead, she becomes self-aware... Taking a stand against
her abusive master, Yuki goes on the run. Believed to be defective
and hostile, she is hunted by Gorgona, and plans to fight back for
the only thing that truly matters - her right to life and freedom.
