She also ranked the released comics (both from Dark Horse as well as those published by CD Projekt independently) for the Dark Horse works available in time of writing she ranked them worst to best as: House of Glass (volume 1), Of Flesh and Flame (volume 4), Fox Children (volume 2) and, best, Curse of Crows (volume 3). In 2019, Jody Macgregor reviewing The Witcher comics for PC Gamer, wrote that "Andrzej Sapkowski's books survived being adapted for games and for TV and they make for pretty decent comic books as well". On the other hand, Tomasz Gardziński writing for Polish magazine Spider's Web was much more critical, calling it disappointing both when it comes to art and plot. The issue was also positively reviewed by Patrick Hellen at AIPT, who noted that "this is a great start to a new limited series". He praised the comic for "one of the truest and most genuine game to comic transitions in recent memory", although he noted that the comic is perhaps less accessible to casual readers than the previous three volumes, and seems to aim more at fans of the series already familiar with the franchise. In 2018, Ricardo Serrano Denis reviewed the first issue of volume 4 ( Of Flesh and Flame) for The Beat. Jason Segarra at AIPT was less impressed, describing it as "a fine story, just not a great one", and noting that it feels like a forgettable sidequest. The issue was also reviewed that year by Dana Folkard for Impulse Gamer, who called it "an engaging and exciting read". In 2017, Donna-Lyn Washington in her review of volume 3 ( Curse of Crows) for the Review Fix concluded that the book is a good story "told in a way that wants you to seek out everything related to this character".
Likewise, Joie Martin at he Geek Initiative agreed that given the interesting cliffhanger, those who read the first issue will likely want to pick up the next one.
Torin Chambers at Bloody Disgusting! wrote that the issue is worth recommending, although it would have benefited from an explanatory page for those less familiar with the universe. In 2015, Charlie Hall reviewed the issue 1 of the second volume ( Fox Children) for Polygon, writing that the series has the potential to explore "moral ambiguity" which the franchise is known for. In 2014, Jesse Schedeen reviewed issue 1 of the first volume ( House of Glass) for IGN, noting that while the story "doesn't stand out as being remarkably different from other violent fantasy comics, it's definitely an enjoyable read that requires no familiarity with the source material".
