Posted on by

The writer of Netflix’s hit animated series Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners and Hugo Award nominated Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams comic, Bartosz Sztybor shares a love story tied to a gang war that just may take the Maelstrom and the Moxes down with it in Cyberpunk 2077: XOXO. Created in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red, Sztybor is joined by main cover and series artist Jakub Rebelka and letterer Frank Cvetkovic. Variant covers for issue #1 are provided by Jeffrey Alan Love, Fabrizio De Tommaso, and Rion Chow.

Gang on gang violence rages towards a bloodbath when an ambush planned by the Maelstroms on the Moxes gets complicated. Corpo cargo worth a heavy sum is up for grabs, but loyalty only goes so far when love is on the line. One member of the Maelstroms has found something worth sacrificing for. He’s never known anyone like her. Jaw-dropping, eyes popping, pulse racing, could this be love at first sight?

In close collaboration with CD Projekt Red, Dark Horse Comics continues to explore the world of The Witcher in a brand new comic series,  The Witcher: Wild Animals. The four-issue miniseries is written by Bartosz Sztybor and introduces Ukrainian artist Nataliia Rerekina, Silver Award-winner of the Japan-International Manga Award, in their U.S. comics debut.

The Witcher: Wild Animals #1 (of 4) will be in comic shops on September 20, 2023. It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shop for $3.99.
