    Un Cómic Más

    This story begins with fast-paced action and plot twists every ten pages, making the reading so addictive. Art achieves very dynamic sequences using textures, achieving a gloomy tone perfect for this story. Body language and facial expressions elevate dialogues.

    The Story: A thrilling adventure from Sztybor. The story has some great action throughout and an interesting premise that puts Geralt on the defensive from multiple sides. The plot is immediately engaging and draws in the reader with its immediacy and twists. I really enjoyed the progression of this story and how it sets up some interesting conflicts to come. The Art: Rerekina delivers some beautifully detailed art. I love the character designs and the environments are visually stunning.
