The Witcher: Witch’s Lament debuts at Dark Horse Comics in May 2021

Dark Horse Comics continues its line of The witcher comics with another new limited series with Geralt of Rivia. IGN can exclusively reveal the next chapter in this saga – The Witcher: Witch’s Lament. Witch’s Lament is once again written by Bartosz Sztybor, who also serves as the narrative manager and screenwriter for developer CD Projekt Red. The series is drawn by Vanesa R. Del Ray (Scarlet Witch), with colors by Jordie Bellaire (Batman) and letters from Aditya Bidikar. You can see the cover of Issue 1 below:

As this evocative image shows, Witch’s Lament deals with the tragic death of a witch, burned at the stake by a frightened population. Geralt is drawn into this conflict, as he is haunted by the dreams of the dead witch and hints at a greater conspiracy at play in her death.

Have you read The Witcher?

YESNO

Witch’s Lament will cover four issues in total, with the first chapter due out on May 26, 2021. This release will be followed by the collection of paperbacks from Witcher’s previous comic, The Witcher: Fading Memories, which will be released on July 28. .

For those who haven’t followed the Dark Horse’s Witcher comics, these stories are specifically meant as standalone ties to video games, rather than the original novels or the live-action Netflix series. Most of these projects tell original stories starring Geralt rather than adapting the work of author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Witch’s lament will no doubt help fill the void as fans await the return of the Netflix series for Season 2. Netflix recently teased this new season through its “Witchmas” event, which featured season 2 set photos, a logo for the animated film Witcher Nightmare of the Wolf, and much more.

The Witcher: Season 2 is slated for release on Netflix in 2021, and we’ve gathered everything we know about the coming story in one place.
