They are not in any way related to the previous Polch/Parowski series.
Currently, CD Projekt is preparing a new [[graphic novel]] series, based on the three most important short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski: ''Kwestia ceny'' (''A Matter of Price''), ''Miecz przeznaczenia'' (''Sword of Destiny'') and ''Coś więcej'' (''Something More''), as well as the five novels in the Witcher Saga. While the graphic novels are being written by [[Maciej Parowski]], who wrote the previous series of Witcher comics in the early 1990s, they are going to be graphically consistent with CD Projekt's franchise, not with the previous comics.
