The Witcher Volume 4: Of Flesh and Flame by Aleksandra Motyka
4.0
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.
