The Witcher Omnibus

pick

Never watched the tv series. Is it any good? Or is the actor playing the Witcher just smokin‘ hot?

Comic was serviceable. Not the best antihero comic I‘ve ever read but if you like the show you‘ll surely like this too.

I shoulda been paying attention to who the publisher & artist is. Reminded me much of Mike Mignola Hellboy books.

Soscha Aah, Dark Horse, that explains the aesthetic they‘re going for. Didn‘t recognize writer or artist, in which case Dark Horse wasn‘t heavily pushing the series, if it is a series. AND I guess this isn‘t so much from a tv show but a play-me gamer series? 1w

Serotonin I watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix. It was good. Season 3 was sooo boring I gave up. Not going near season 4 😆 1w

Jari-chan I couldn't even finish season one 🙈 7d

Kenyazero I might have to pick this comic up! I loved the one game I played, hated the books (they‘re a bit sexist), and enjoyed the Netflix series. To answer your question, it IS a fun series on its own, but it probably helps that people think the actor is hot. I‘m on the asexual spectrum, so that wasn‘t a major draw for me 🤭 7d

A lot of monsters get bloodily dispatched in a variety of ways, & there's slightly more of Geralt having baths than I personally thought was necessary (but others might have a greater penchant for those scenes than me 🛀).
While some of the monsters have tragic backstories, at the point Geralt meets them they are generally in his “deserve to die“ category, except in the Fox Children storyline, which is more nuanced.
There is some soul-searching ⬇️

Bookwomble ... about not addressing inter-human oppression, but as the conclusion of that side-arc is “it's not the business of a Witcher to intervene in human injustice“ and as this is illustrated by Geralt riding past a gang-rape, I didn't think it did him or the writer much credit. Otherwise, I thought they were well-presented stories which I enjoyed more than my review might indicate. (edited) 5mo

Three original Witcher comics are collected in this omnibus edition. Each story contrasts Geralt's sympathy for the very monsters he hunts with humans' callous disregard for the Other.

sprainedbrain Hahahaha! I‘ve been resisting the urge to watch them all again ever since I binged the whole series in one day 2 weeks ago. 😂 5y

Connster @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Yasss! I got them all a while back, read one and a bit and then got sidetracked, as you do! I really want to read them now I‘ve finished the series though! Have you started yet? 5y

Connster @Caroline2 It‘s so good! I immediately checked when series two is coming, but it says likely 2021, which seems ages away! 😢 5y

Connster @Branwen Do it, do it, do it! I‘m hoping to see stuff I missed in my first watch through. Ooh, I‘m on book two, it‘s good so far! 🐺 5y

Connster @sprainedbrain It‘s brilliant, I say do it! I really enjoyed it and there‘s so much story to come! 😆 5y

Bookwomble My kids have been watching this together remotely as a way of maintaining sibling time 💗 I watched the first episode today while ironing. I enjoyed it, but somehow slightly lost the plot - I'm sure it will become clearer, at least I hope so 🤞🏻 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Connster I read The Last Wish before I watched the show. But that's it so far. I'll be picking it up again in March. 😊 5y

Connster @Bookwomble Aah, that‘s lovely! It does make more sense as you go through the episodes! 5y

Bookwomble @Connster I watched the second episode whilst not simultaneously doing the ironing, and it made more sense!! Enjoying it so far 😀 5y

I‘ve started watching The Witcher on Netflix, but I keep stopping and starting as I don‘t want to binge it all in one go and then have to wait ages for season 2. I also really need to make some headway on this GN and the original book series too.
