It seems that Titan Comics really wants to hype up their second issue of Blade Runner 2039: the final arc of Ash’s comic book adventures from writer Mike Johnson, artist Andres Guinaldo, and colorist Marco Lesko. Why else would they release some beautiful covers and even preview pages for us to admire?
Blade Runner 2039 #2: Covers Galore!
Titan Comics is proud to hype up Blade Runner 2039 #2 by showing off the new covers for it. The main cover art above is by Kendrick Lim, and features an almost anime-esque art style for what are presumed to be the main characters of this comic book. Unfortunately, there’s not much information on Lim. His only major contribution (albeit an important one) seems to be as a major artistic contributor to the Dota community, although he does seem to draw a lot of art for DC comics.
The above variant cover for Blade Runner 2039 #2 by Veronica Fish. Fish, fortunately, is a bit more well-known than Lim. Fish is an American comic book artist and painter who’s best known for her contributions to Marvel Comics…and surprisingly, Archie comics as well. You can even see a bit of Archie influence in the art style of the 2 characters above.
Finally, we have the above second variant cover art for Blade Runner 2039 #2 by the late Sydney Jay Mead, also known as Syd Mead. Mead was an American industrial designer and neo-futurist concept artist. He worked with major studios to design sci-fi vehicles and machines for such works as Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Tron, Aliens, Elysium, even the anime series Turn A Gundam and Yamato 2520, and of course, Blade Runner. The above cover art seems to be concept art for Blade Runner, showing a futuristic car not too dissimilar to Rick Deckard’s car.
Blade Runner 2039 #2 will go on sale on January 11, 2023 for a retail price of $3.99. You can preorder it on Previews World. If you live in the UK or Europe though, then you can do the same on Forbidden Planet.
