(And side note: I wonder if all the rain in future Los Angeles is a commentary on climate change? A bit of world-building BLADE RUNNER 2049 makes more explicit. Then again, it does rain constant for just a few weeks every year here. Maybe we just caught future LA on a bad week. 🤔)

Coming in 1982, BLADE RUNNER stood out From other SciFi films at the time chasing the special effects-fueled popcorn thrills of STAR WARS. It’s all mood, and the mood is dark and rainy and stays with you long after you see it.

BADFUTURECOMICS.com : Inspo Wednesday 🎉
Today’s Inspo: BLADE RUNNER

BLADE RUNNER is so hard-wired into the DNA of Cyberpunk and dystopian SciFi that pointing it out as an inspiration seems almost redundant.

EVERMIND is a comic Jurassic Park with Mechas (including Gorilla Mechas) but what I like about the comic is that at its heart is has an emotional story of a father and daughter trying to connect and understand one another. 🧵2/3

My favorite part of indie comics is there is no gatekeeper.

You just write it, draw it/get someone to draw it, and you post it/sell it.

Simple enough even I can do it!

Mummy Detective. Vampire sidekick. A demonic cult. A city on the brink of Hell. Bixby Grant’s case is heating up!
