It was revealed today at New York Comic Con who will be writing Titan Comics new Black Runner comic book series and fans should be very excited indeed. If you’re like me you enjoyed the heck out of Blade Runner 2049. Not only was it visually arresting, but the science fiction ideas were plentiful. Who better to write a comic book series then Michael Green who scribed the film? If that news doesn’t appease you, how about the fact that Green also wrote Logan. Okay, now I know you’re excited.

Green made an interesting point by saying, “Every iteration of the Blade Runner world throws the window open a little wider. Mike and I can’t wait to see what we find outside.” This must mean then that the new comic series will be expanding the universe even wider.
