4 to 4 1/2 stars

OK, it's not Sapkowski, sure thing, but it was quite, quite enjoyable. It contained a lot of elements from the Witcher stories, such as the power of the curse, evil magical creatures and sexy babes. Did I say sexy babes? Well, I was going to say creepy sexy babes, but whatever. So I can say Paul Tobin did his homework really well, I am definitely looking forward to next volumes in series. Witcher forever!!!!

So, my boyfriend George read this last year and raved about it. Personally, I was a bit hesitant since the content in the illustrations were quite graphic at times. However, it gave me the creeps and ticked all of the spooky boxes for me. The pacing was quick and the range of settings atmospheric. The Witcher is called Geralt finds a lone fisherman one day and wants him to be his travel buddy. Both of them stumble onto this manor house from hell, that seems to want to trap both of them in its gr...

Sure, I'm biased. I just missed the Witcher (the books, not the show). I reread the series this year but I needed something new. House of Glass may be from 2014, but it's the first time I'm reading it, and I've got to say I enjoyed both the story and the art. On to The Witcher, Vol. 2: Fox Children!

Geralt of Rivia is The Witcher, a magical warrior who wanders the generic fantasy realm of Whatever. Here he teams up with a hunter who’s haunted by his wife who’s a vampire. They get lost in the woods and decide to hole up in a house made of glass. They doss about until they don’t. What do people like about The Witcher? No idea! If you’ve ever played RPGs, there are two prominent character types you can choose to play as: the barbarian and the mage. The barbarian is physically strong but vulner...

Though I am not the biggest fan of the art style, the story is amazing and I highly recommend it to fans of the video games and fantasy. Two major takeaways I got from this book are:1. The art style isn't the greatest, I much prefer art styles in Saga, it is very simple in my opinion. I'd prefer more detail and better details for the eyes. I have seen worse, though, and at least it's not that fucking bad. 2. The story is a great one. At the beginning, it is very dry, as Geralt is very serious an...

Really good art style and a quick read that I quite enjoyed.

I know nothing about the video game world in which this story is set (or anything about any video games at all, truth be told), but I enjoyed reading it very much. It's very much an homage to Mignola in both art and plotting style, and there are some seriously creepy and engrossing sequences. Kept me guessing right up to the end. It's a very enjoyable book!

I really loved the art style in this comic and it fit with the theme, however I did not care about the stories at all. They were bland and boring and it just didn’t click in place for me. The speech was weird and it was really hard to get into. It was jarring and some stuff didn’t make sense. And I just didn’t enjoy the stories and I honestly don’t think I will remember much about them. It really made me appreciate the tv show and how even though it still is set in those old times, it’s still in...

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The art is not exactly my style but I think it translates and complements the story and the characters quite well. Even if it isn't Sapkowski, they managed to recreate his essence in this tale so much that it reminded me of his short stories. Also, I love it every time Geralt discusses about love and feelings. This comic contains recurring themes from the books so it felt connected to me, which it didn't expect to be honest.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. But the dialog is witcher gold. I can see this being a side quest in the witcher 3 video game. Loved it.

House of GlassOkay normally anything Witcher related gets 5/5 because I truly just love the whole world of it. The only thing I took of one star for is the Succubus and her story line in this volume. It was a great 5th character but I just didn’t feel a strong story with her. But I wanted there to be one. Nonetheless I loved the foreshadowing and the insanity that Jakob had driven himself to.. as well as the curse that Marta had wrapped herself up in. I also really enjoy Geralt’s consistency wit...

3.5 starsTruthfully, I thought this would be a crappy cash-grab due to the new Netflix show (but this was published in 2014) or an equally crappy cash-grab due to the popularity of the video games.I'm glad I decided to give it a try because it was neither.It was actually a pretty good self-contained Witcher story.Don't get me wrong, this isn't your next must-read comic. Far from it. But it is exactly what I would have expected from a fantasy comic based off of the Witcher series.Geralt fights a

Surprisingly good. Video game comics tend to be crap, but Tobin crafts a creepy. dark world that works. I'm not familiar with The Witcher video games but this book holds it own. I actually liked it well enough that I'll probably check out the game.Our Witcher Geralt comes across a lonely fisherman who becomes Geralt's travel companion. They travel into some dark woods and come across a house that they can't seem to escape.

(view spoiler)[Just Geralt of Rivia defending victims of domestic abuse using a sword and lots of signs, what's not to like? (hide spoiler)] Also, this is the first comic I've ever read so I didn't really know what to expect but it was enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this. It fits right into the world of The Witcher as one of Geralt's creepier adventures. I love the way the mystery unfolds, the suspense, and the twist. And a succubus is always fun.I believe this classifies as horror, but as someone who doesn't tend to read horror, it doesn't feel too much like a scary book. But I don't spook easily. Take that as you will.The lineart is simple (not in a bad way), and the colours go well with the tone of the book. It's certainly not something

Normally this kind of story for me is left in novel form. However this surprised me. Very good fantasy story in graphic form. Cool art cool story and great action.

When it comes to comics based on video games, you never really know what to expect, especially since I'm entirely unfamiliar with the property. But this had art by Joe Querio and a Mike Mignola cover and the setting seemed intriguing. I wasn't disappointed. The story could easily have become crass and exploitative in the recent "gritty" video game vein, but Paul Tobin kept it readable and made Geralt a more-than-usually affable take on the typical hero of this sort of tale. Querio's art is beaut...

Catches the mood of The Witcher's world in both the games and books. Will certainly be following up on this series.
