Blade Runner Comics Universe Chronological Reading Order

Who knew that Blade Runner, a film adaptation of Phillip K Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, would be so impactful when it hit cinemas in 1982? It became a foundational text in the cyberpunk subgenre, helping it solidify themes and aesthetics in the future. The film has become a science fiction classic, garnering multiple cuts, a sequel, an animated series, and many comics.

Titan Comics has been publishing Blade Runner for a few years now. Through this, they’ve explored the years before and after the original film, chronicled the beginnings of the LAPD Blade Runner department, and told a dwcades-s0anning saga.

This reading order details Titan Comics’ Blade Runner in chronological order. By doing so, readers and fans can dive deeper into this cyberpunk world easily and enjoy the dystopian stories.

Are the Blade Runner comics officially licenced?

Yes! Titan Comics has officially licensed from Alcon Entertainment, who acquired the rights and Blade Runner brand in 2011. Blade Runner 2049 screenwriter Michael Green is a co-writer on many of these comics, which adds a connection to the film franchise.
