Now that we've got the complete first arc of Titan's first non-LA Blade Runner comic—the wonderful Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus—we wanted to chat with the person responsible for creating this bold new vision: first-time comic writer (!) Kianna Shore.
Set in Tokyo in 2015, Tokyo Nexus is a story about identity, class, trauma, and finding connection in a disconnected future. In this episode, Kianna guides Patrick through these first four issues, discusses her "big break" in the comics industry, and talks about working with amazing collaborators like Blade Runner Origin's Mellow Brown and Tokyo Nexus' artist Mariano Taibo.
Issues 1-4 of Tokyo Nexus are on sale wherever you buy comic books. There are some light spoilers in here, so we'd suggest giving them a read before listening!

In this episode, your hosts Patrick and Jaime along with returning contributing host, Peter from the Midwest sit down to discuss Andy, the android from Alien: Romulus. While tossing around episode ideas, Peter from the Midwest offered that Andy might be a fascinating topic to discuss as a comparison to the Replicants featured in the Blade Runner films. It is widely agreed that Andy, as seen in Alien: Romulus is the most in-depth depiction of androids in the Alien universe yet. Join us as we jump head first into this exciting yet complicated discussion.

When we heard Mellow Brown, writer of 2021's stupendous Blade Runner: Origins, was going to be at Comic-Con, we knew we needed to talk to him! Along the way, we learned about his newest Titan project: consulting on Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus, a thrilling new arc written by Kianna Shore (with art by Mariano Taibo) you can pick up today from your local comic store or from Titan's website.
There's also been some new news on the Prime series Blade Runner 2099, and we spend some time at the beginning delving into that. These are exciting times to be a Blade Runner fan, and the coming year is going to be one to remember!

Napper and first time guest and inspiration behind this episode, longtime listener a.t. johnston.
