The critically acclaimed Witcher videogame franchise makes its way into comics with an all-new five issue miniseries. The monster hunter for hire, Geralt of Rivia, continues to hack and slash at ghosts and goblins in The Witcher: House of Glass #1.

Plot Synopsis:

Travelling near the edge of the Black Forest, in the land of the Angren, the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, meets a widowed man whose dead and murderous wife resides in an eerie mansion, known as the House of Glass. With its endless rooms and horror around every corner, Geralt will have to use all his witcher prowess to solve the manor's mystery and survive.

CD Projekt Red and Dark Horse Comics have joined forces to continue the action-packed fantasy book series created by Andrzej Sapkowski.
