little witcher
This fun comic collection with a Witcher twist on family life features Geralt of Rivia as an ordinary monster-slayer father who tries to raise young Ciri to be a good boy while teaching him all about life as a Witcher. A perfect gift for parents. And Witcher fans of all ages.
Young Ciri’s extensive training on Kaer Morhen, the Witcher’s home base, includes everything she needs to learn to survive her world’s many threats. . . It’s all about the antics and fun of a young girl bonding with her adoptive father and family.
With the help of Geralt and Ciri’s closest allies, including the maternal magic of Yennefer of Vengerberg and the wisdom of Uncle Vesemir, these adorable stories of non-traditional families will make you laugh, sigh, and… It will make you realize what it means to raise a small child. Being a Witcher isn’t all that different from raising any other child. Sure, a bedtime story might include a warning about a monster that farts when startled, or Geralt might invoke the Witcher’s Code to force Ciri to brush his teeth or clean his room. Even the fearsome white wolf knows how to fight at bedtime and surrender in the afternoon. Tea with toys.
This is the first Witcher book published by Penguin Random House and the first English-language graphic novel by Italian visual development artist and illustrator Carboni. She originally reimagined Ciri’s story in a series of comics called Baby Ciri, which was inspired by the Netflix show. The final book is instead a tie-in/self-parody of the game, using CDPR’s character designs etc., but its release was during the show’s penultimate fourth season (Liam, who took over the title role from Henry Cavill). Hemsworth (starring Hemsworth) is scheduled to be released on the streamer sometime next year, along with other hits like Stranger Things 5, The Sandman Season 2, and Wednesday Season 2.
By the way, this is not the first time that a children’s version of the novel Continent, created by author Andrzej Sapkowski, has been planned. In 2021, Netflix series showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich announced that a family-friendly animated spinoff would be produced. Considering how mature The Witcher has become, it’s a work that raises more than a few eyebrows. Since then, there has been no official announcement regarding the project, with the only confirmed spin-off currently being the animated film Sirens of the Deep (starring Doug Cockle as Geralt), scheduled for release on February 11, 2025. are.
Combined with Dark Horse’s upcoming comics, this should be more than enough to keep adult Witcher fans hooked until young children can read this book in May.
