Welcome to Comics Wire, SYFY WIRE s weekly comics column that gets at the pulse of what s going on in comics right now. We ve got what you need to know about huge crossovers, real-life issues facing the industry, cool first looks, the week s hot new comics, and everything in-between.
We re coming up on a year of running this column, and I know that because the week we started it turned out to be the week that Diamond Comics Distributor paused service amid the spreading COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that resulted. That all simultaneously feels like it happened five years
and five minutes ago, but because everyone online has been musing about where they were and what they were doing when the lockdowns started last spring, I ve also been thinking about where we are now in the world of comics, where we ve been, and what s still left to do before we get back to normal again.
What They Say:
The year is 2009. LAPD Detective Cal Moreaux is given an assignment that he knows is fishy. A job he calls a “career ender.” Tyrell Corporation, creators of synthetic humanoids called “Replicants,” need him to clean up a messy suicide in their offices. He knows something is up.
Content (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers):
The first issue of Blade Runner Origins starts with a bang. Two soldiers, one of them being the protagonist, LAPD detective Cal Moreaux, are fighting in a spaceship that gets assaulted by two enigmatic beings. It then hard cuts to two years later, with Cal sitting in a hospital room, where his sister lays comatose.
