Based on the all-new acclaimed Anime series: Black Lotus.
This officially sanctioned graphic novel heralds an all-new saga in the Blade Runner franchise, one whose ramifications will ripple throughout the Blade Runner universe.


Set in the year 2032, Blade Runner: Black Lotus features an all-new cast of characters and introduces Nia Wallace, heir to the Tyrell empire and future creator of the JOI hologram and the Replicant Love, as seen in the smash hit 2017 movie Blade Runner 2049, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

Revealing a world of Blade Runner not previously explored, this all-new graphic novel collects together the four-issue mini-series and features a new type of Replicant, not seen before – the deadly Nexus 9.
"[An] enjoyable spin-off in the Blade Runner universe. Fans who can’t get enough antics of rebel androids will appreciate this unexpectedly colorful trip back into the film’s conceits." - Publishers Weekly

"Black Lotus offers plenty of potential and compelling characters to start this journey as a fun ride." - Set The Tape

"It’s a post apocalyptic thriller at its finest. - Get Your Comic On

"A Cowboy Western feel, and Collins expertly establishes the supporting cast with distinctive voices and clear motivations." - Comical Opinions

"If you liked the anime, and are itching to see where the story goes from there, check out Blade Runner: Black Lotus." - Comics Beat
Nancy A. Collins is a United States horror fiction writer best known for her series of vampire novels featuring her character Sonja Blue. Collins has also written for comic books, including Swamp Thing, Jason vs. Leatherface, Predator: Hell Come A-Walkin' and her own one-shot Dhampire: Stillborn. Collins has written 20 novels since 1989, many of which refer to and directly include races of creatures the author calls Pretenders, monsters from myth and legend passing as human to better hunt their prey. Collins has also written a number of highly acclaimed Southern Gothic short stories and novellas, most of which are set in Seven Devils, Arkansas, a highly fictionalized version of her hometown. Most recently, she has focused her attention onto the Golgotham urban fantasy series, published by Penguin. Golgotham is the "supernatural" ghetto of New York City, where creatures from myth and folklore--including witches, shape-shifters, leprechauns and centaurs--live and work in uneasy alliance with mankind.
