We finally meet Jakob's vampire wife in this issue of the comic. While she seems distant with her husband, she's warm to Geralt. Hopefully in the next issue we'll discover why.

Excellent Book. Excellent Art. Mystery and action goes hand in hand. Humor too. What a nice read especially on weekends.

Great Read

Near the end now and cannot wait to see how it all ends. The artwork was all very well made.

Issue #4 – Broken Vows
The truth about Jakob’s wife, Marta, begins to surface — revealing a tale of obsession, betrayal, and tragedy. Geralt is caught between fighting the magic of the house and navigating Jakob’s guilt-fueled nightmare. The monster in the house is revealed to be more symbolic than physical — a product of suffering and madness.

I am a bit besotted with the Witcher universe, so anything from it I enjoy. When I found out there was a comic book series, by the power of greyskull I was buying it.

And it’s good. Good art style for the dark and dismal world, good character development that adds rather than separates from the world, and a dash of mystery.

You know, it’s good. I mean, I’m not going to shove this under everyone’s nose and make them read it, but it’s good.
