One day I'll read a decent Witcher comic.

It's not today though.

It’s just ok. The art is good, as always, but the story is weak and incredibly predictable.

I'm so glad that Dandelion showed up in this one, I love the bard <3. His and Geralt's interactions are always great. This volume, along with the previous 3 of the series, have all been a lot of fun to read! They have a very medieval, D&D setting and vibes. If you have seen the show, which is where I began in the Witcher world, then I think you would definitely enjoy reading these! I can’t really comment on how it relates to the games as I haven’t played any of them yet (though I aim to, eventually).

Geralt is such a unique character and the same sass/sarcasm he shows in the show comes up again throughout these comics, which is always one of the best parts in my opinion! Each of the stories throughout these volumes have been really interesting, focusing on different kinds of “monsters” and yet showing that in the end it’s typically the humans that act more monstrous than the monsters themselves. The third volume, Curse of Crows does throwback a good bit to the events of a quest that happens in the show, which is interesting, but I did end up preferring the other stories I think which were completely new material and monsters (to me, anyways, who has only seen the show).

As for the art, I particularly enjoyed the art in the first two volumes which was done by Joe Querio and colored by Carlos Badilla. The art had a very creepy, fantastic tone for the setting, particularly with the woods setting. The art in the later two was also good, but I did prefer that of the first two.

Literally my only lament is I want to read the next book...and it doesn't exist yet. Man I hope they continue this series. Tried to see if next issues were being talked about and couldn't find anything yet...

this was so fun! I really liked the art style in this one, and loved that Dandelion was in it. his entrance was amazing and perfectly displayed Geralt’s feelings towards his best friend. I did think that the plot tended to jump around quite a bit but overall I enjoyed this!!

I loved that this graphic novel was so clearly tied to the game. The art alone made me feel like I was watching stills of cut scenes from a side-quest, but the story truly captured the vibe of the game. If you loved Wild Hunt, I think you'll enjoy this.

Besonders hab ich mich hier in die Detailgetreuen Zeichnungen verliebt. Die Story gefiel mir auch ganz gut, wobei ich mir ehrlich gesagt etwas anderes erwartet habe. Eine, zunächst, düstere Monsterjagd artet in einem eher witzigen und turbulenten Abenteuer mit Rittersporn aus.

Absolut fesselnd und unerwartet, zumindest für mich, hielt dieser Comic was er verspricht und hat mir sehr viel Freude beim Lesen bereitet. Mit seinem ganz eigenen Charme verzaubert der Comic und unglaublich viel Witz, den ich so gar nicht erwartet habe!

Eine klare Lese-Empfehlung für mich!

Solidly entertaining, and I'm always a fan of Dandelion getting into trouble by thinking with his dick.
