BLADE RUNNER 2029 VOL 1: REUNION
Los Angeles, 2029.
Aahna 'Ash' Ashina is back with the LAPD BLADE RUNNER UNIT and determined to save as many Replicants as she can.

When Ash is confronted by an old adversary, one long believed dead, she is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a Replicant unlike any she has ever faced before - a Replicant with no fear of death and with a dream to finish off what the Blackout started in 2022...

BLADE RUNNER 2029 VOL 2: ECHOES
Following the REPLICANT uprising, Ash is now a prisoner of the Replicant YOTUN - a genetically defective NEXUS 6 who has somehow managed to outlive his four-year lifespan. With Yotun's guerrilla army of fanatical Replicants now in control of the city, Ash must find a way of escaping and stopping Yotun before he burns the city to the ground and kills the woman she loves.

BLADE RUNNER 2029 VOL 3: REDEMPTION
Yotun has started to succumb to the ravages of time, and even the regular blood transfusions from his loyal supporters has started to fail.
As the city fights back to take control from the Replicant rebel army, Yotun races to locate an old diary of ELDON TYRELL that he believes holds the key to his final victory.
