Best-selling sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick’s award-winning has been called “a masterpiece ahead of its time, even today” and having served as the basis for the film , BOOM! Studios presents the complete novel transplanted into the comic book medium, mixing all new panel-to-panel continuity with the actual text from the novel in an innovative, ground-breaking 24-issue maxi-series. To those familiar with the novel, this issue introduces the main characters and concepts of the novel, beginning with Rick Deckard and his wife as they begin their day with a disagreement. Where it gets interesting is how they threaten to escalate it by turning the dials on their mood-alterers to stronger emotions. Dick introduces this concept through a couple’s argument seamlessly and, then, uses that to engage the larger world, which is post-fallout with the majority of humanity emigrated off Earth. The fact that it is the text of the novel and not an adaptation, visually transformed into paper, this series may truly immerse you in the world that the author intended. The "Backmatter" by Matt Fraction for the second issue delves into how he views Philip K. Dick's novella and how, in his mind, it is always tied to the Ridley Scott film.
