What do we see in the preview for the Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus: Die With Honor series?
The official synopsis of the comic book stated, “Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus: Die with Honor #1 sees Alura show the Kalanthia traitor, who is head of the Cheshire bootleg Replicant program, photos of Stix and Mead, realising they are still alive he panics and demands she kills them, Alura refuses until Uldren makes good on his promise of delivering bootleg Replicants as promised.”
The description further doubled down on how Alura then summons Stix to introduce him to the Borealis Team. The Borealis Team is a three-Cheshire Replicant team per the official preview. They are clones of the original Aurora Team and have previously worked with Stix on Kalanthia. Stix is then ordered to follow a new mission of killing Madame Nomura.
The description further reads, “Meanwhile, Mead, still believing that Stix is the killer of Sayo – Nomura’s daughter, steals his Cheshire ID card and breaks into Cheshire HQ in search of evidence and witnesses the brutal mass assassination of the Yakuza sub-bosses by a second Cheshire Replicant kill team lead by Lerna, who is linked to Alura via one of the two surviving Aurora Yokes.”
Titan Comics has also announced that fans can pre-order the series on Forbidden Planet or place an order at their nearest comic book store.
