The default world state in Witcher 3 if you do not import a save assumes that you sided with Roche and killed Saskia - the opposite of what you see in the comic. Now I am not saying that makes it "the" canon path, only that the comics do not define such thing in the games. Nor do I think there should be one, it would make it kind of pointless to have choices in the first place.

Obviously, a comic can only be written for one specific scenario because of the limitations of the medium, but in the games the other paths still remain valid. That is why they include a feature that lets you import a save from the previous game or simulate choices if you have no save file. One might even argue that the comic was written for Iorveth's path because it got worse treatment in Witcher 3, you do not need a comic for Roche because he is already in the game.
