Blade Runner: Black Lotus: Las Vegas #3
| Writer | Nancy A. Collins |
| Artist | Jesus Hervas |
| Cover Price | $3.99 |
Elle’s quest takes her to the irradiated city of Las Vegas (later seen in Blade Runner 2049), a sand-choked ghost-town of forgotten memories following the detonation of a dirty bomb.
There she finds a community of role-playing Replicants, abandoned hospitality models from the old casinos now living as embodiments of ancient Egyptian and Roman royalty. Meanwhile, Niander Wallace, smarting from his last encounter with Elle, has dispatched a seasoned kill team to bring back her head.

The issue lands its core moment, Elle's refusal to participate in staged violence, and uses that to ask a sharper question: can freedom built on another's oppression ever be real? Hervas and Lesko remain the issue's secret weapon, transforming monotonous exposition into visual spectacle that actually sustains momentum. However, the script sometimes forgets that silence is louder than legend, burying character development under layers of world-building explanation. Read Full Review
