Nice little tie-in to the Tracer / Widow Maker short “Alive。” You get a taste of what the Omnics live is like， but overall just a bit too much of a tease。 I’d say start with the free online comics if you’re just getting started out in this setting。

Did I add half a star just because Emily was in this？ Yes。 Yes I did。This comic delves into the events of the cinematic ALIVE and surrounding plots， tying together some of the timeline and setting up some good lore for Overwatch 2 （which， once again I must emphasize， I am dying for）。Specifically， this comic dives into the relations between Omnics and humans in the times of Mondatta's death， the state of the world after Overwatch is disbanded and what Lena has been up to。 The plot was somewhat si Did I add half a star just because Emily was in this？ Yes。 Yes I did。This comic delves into the events of the cinematic ALIVE and surrounding plots， tying together some of the timeline and setting up some good lore for Overwatch 2 （which， once again I must emphasize， I am dying for）。Specifically， this comic dives into the relations between Omnics and humans in the times of Mondatta's death， the state of the world after Overwatch is disbanded and what Lena has been up to。 The plot was somewhat simple but I enjoyed it well enough， definitely worth reading if you're a fan of Overwatch and it's lore， especially if you're like me and are really impatiently waiting for the second game。 The art style was really suited to the genre， I thought， as it was rather stylized in a cartoonish form which made for some fun action scenes。 It could also be sketchy in some panels but I really love when the sketch is clear under the finished panel。 That said， I do think that the style wasn't as suited to the darker themes in the story， it certainly conveyed the emotions but it still felt lighter than some scenes probably should have been。My favourite aspect of the comic is really just my taste and personal to me， but I can't not mention it。 I'm a lesbian， so naturally， every scene with the sapphics makes me incredibly happy and I wasn't sure if Emily was going to make an appearance in this one。 She well and truly did！！ I can confirm， Tracer and Emily do not feel like the cheap representation I genuinely thought it would be when I heard about it。 I do think that we only saw little of Tracer's life before the comic jumped into the plot， I was kind of looking forward to seeing her on a normal day。 Then again， we got enough to make me quite happy so I can easily say I really recommend this for Overwatch fans！！ 。。。more
