Fanatical is offering $209 worth of perilous, atmospheric The Witcher comics for just $12 as it continues to expand its offering of book bundles

Did you know digital games store Fanatical is doing comic and book bundles these days? They’re worth keeping an eye on—this month, for example, they’ve done a whole series of really excellent value horror comics deals that I’ve enjoyed taking advantage of.

But to keep this on the topic of games, there’s one bundle in particular I’m here to bring to your attention: The Witcher Build-Your-Own-Bundle.

It includes all the Dark Horse Witcher comics as digital trade paperbacks, as well as the recently translated original Polish comics, a Gwent artbook, and The World of the Witcher, a mighty reference guide to all the lore of the videogame series. The “build your own bundle” part just means you can choose which items you want, with the overall discount rising the more you buy. Of course, getting all of them nets you the best possible price per book.

It’s only $11.99 / £10.70 to get the whole lot, which has a total value of $208.84 / £156.40. That’s a huge saving, so it seems to be well worth going all-in unless you’re just trying to pick up a few books to complete an existing collection.

Dark Horse has been making comics based on The Witcher videogames and novels for over a decade now, and it’s pretty great at it. With its popular Hellboy series, the publisher has certainly had plenty of experience telling stories about gruff monster hunters facing grim peril, and its Witcher comics are at their best when they lean into the same kind of shadowy, fantasy-horror atmosphere.

Personally I really enjoyed the House of Glass, which sees Geralt stumble into a surreal and gothic haunted house story reminiscent of The Witcher 3’s Heart of Stone DLC. If you want more recommendations, our own Jody Macgregor made a ranking of the whole series just a couple of years back, with mini-reviews of almost every book in this bundle.

You receive the comics as PDFs, which isn’t as ideal as it could be—I always prefer .cbz files for their smaller size—but the image quality is perfect. Fanatical’s download pages are agreeably well-organised, too. If you’ve bought a Humble Bundle comic bundle before, you may have found it a surprising pain to download and sort it all, thanks to jumbled file lists and incorrectly labelled books. Here, they’re delivered in neat and sensible order with useful file names, so you can just bulk download them, drop them in a folder, and you’re ready to go with a minimum of fuss.
