The BLADE RUNNER ORIGINS series is being writtern by DC Comics veteran K. Perkins (Batwoman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl), and screenwriter Mellow Brown (American Gods, Calls) with the award-winning co-writer of Titan's Blade Runner 2019 Mike Johnson (Supergirl, Star Trek) providing script supervision.

Commenting on what it has been like working on the series so far Fernando Dagnino stated "The cyber noir world developed in this masterpiece movie has forged my imagination ever since I was a kid. As an artist I feel privileged to be expanding this dark and complex universe and honoured to be part of it's history contributing, together with a fantastic team of creators, to imagine this unique prequel that will not only answer questions to the origins of the series but it also links as any speculative SCI FI story should with modern day conflicts and concerns."

Synopsis:
A senior bioengineer for the Tyrell Corp is found hanging in her sealed laboratory, the victim of an apparent suicide. LAPD Detective Cal Moreaux—a war-scarred veteran of the bloody Off-world conflict known as Kalanthia, as depicted in the "Blackout 2022" Blade Runner anime—is sent to write it up, quickly, quietly and with the minimum of fuss. But something doesn't sit right with the detective, and it soon becomes apparent that this is anything but a "normal" suicide. Did the scientist's ground-breaking research on Nexus-model Replicants somehow contribute to her death? And is the apparent disappearance of a prototype Nexus unit also connected to the case? Det. Moreaux's investigation will draw him into a dark conspiracy behind Dr. Tyrell's Replicant empire.

BLADE RUNNER ORIGINS #1 will debut with a selection of amazing variant covers, including artwork by artists Peach Momoko, Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, a set of retro pulp-style covers by Robert Hack (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as well as covers by Piotr Kowalski (Bloodborne) and series artist Fernando Dagnino.
