The Witcher Volume 1
The first two Witcher videogames have sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide, with a third slated for release in 2014. Based on Polish novels extremely popular in Eastern Europe, the games now transfer to comic form! This first collected volume of the Witcher comics (Spring 2014, Dark Horse) is an atmospheric and absorbing adaptation written by the Eisner award-nominated Paul Tobin, the co-creator of Bandette (Dark Horse, 2013).

This installment was way less emotional than the first one but contained the same themes that I love in the Witcher. Geralt walks the line between being a monster and being a man - he’s quick to say how he’s not human but monsters identify some aspect of humanity that hides under his façade. Especially with women and children, Geralt has this no-nonsense attitude toward abusers and people who make genuinely stupid and stubborn decisions.

My first ever foray in to The Witcher. Weird but interesting.
