It seems Random House Worlds has collaborated with CD Projekt Red for a family-friendly new collection of original comics entitled The Little Witcher – and the cover alone looks absolutely heartwarming.
A plethora of writers have been working on this, including Rafal Babraj, Nadia Gasik, Katarzyna Grzyb, Sebastian Kalemba, Katarzyna Krainska, Lukasz Ludkowski, Tomasz Matera, Krzysztof Muciak, Jacek Rembis, Alex Sutton, Bartosz Sztybor, Milena Zajac, and Marcin Zwierzchowski.
Paired with delightful illustrations by all Giada Carboni, this looks like unmissable content – especially for families, with the collection featuring stories of Geralt of Rivia raising young Ciri.
It may be a children’s comic collection, but The Little Witcher is going on my list, and I will fight anyone who argues with me. Do you know how precious Witcher content is to me?!
Here’s the official synopsis:
Putting a Witcher twist on family life, this delightful collection of comics features Geralt of Rivia as your average monster-slaying dad, trying to raise young Ciri to be a good kid while teaching her all about life as a witcher—a perfect gift for parents and The Witcher fans of all ages. Young Ciri’s extensive training at Kaer Morhen, the witchers’ stronghold, includes everything she needs to learn to survive the many threats in her world . . . as well as all the antics and fun of a little girl bonding with her adoptive dad and family.With help from Geralt and Ciri’s closest companions—including the motherly magic of Yennefer of Vengerberg and the wisdom of uncle Vesemir—these adorable tales of a non-traditional family will make you laugh, make you sigh, and make you realize that raising a Little Witcher is not that different from raising any other kid. Sure, bedtime stories might include warnings of monsters who fart when surprised, and Geralt might invoke the Witcher Code to get Ciri to brush her teeth or clean her room, but even the formidable White Wolf knows to surrender when it comes to bedtime battles or Afternoon Tea with the toys.
According to the description, this book is ideal for:
- The Witcher fans raising little Ciris of their own
- Readers who believe in the power of chosen families
- Baby showers (don’t forget Dad!)
- Father’s Day or Mother’s Day gifts
- Players looking for a light-hearted twist on their favorite game
- Families who like cute, magical comics
- The Witcher fans looking to spend more time in Kaer Morhen
The Little Witcher will be released on 13th May – so not too long to wait!
