Overwatch #8 by Michael Chu, Bengal (Illustrator) is a graphic novel of international intrigue but this addition did not have the flow the earlier 7 did. The illustrations were great but somehow the flow of the story fell flat and it was hard to tell what was going on.

Good little action thriller

Never heard of Overwatch, but I am liking a few of these digital comics. Would even collect a few of them.

Ties into #7. Standard comic book/merc story but bonus points for the return of Ana and making the central characters have grey hair.

[Lör K.]

In the eighth issue of Overwatch Digital Comics, we follow Soldier 76 as he travels to Egypt in Old Soldiers, where a lead will take him to an unexpected reunion.

It was super lovely to see Ana come back during this comic, being a tie in to issue 7. Props for giving the characters greying hair but uh - there was one mistake. Ana's eye patch was on the wrong side.

I quite liked this issue. Not as much as others but I did enjoy this. The story wasn't quiet as smooth as I would have liked it to be, but the artwork was perfect as per usual.

Not entirely sure where I stand on this one, but it's a good comic. Recommended.

The trio. 3 :(

[Elizabeth Sullivan]

Asked and answered.

I said I wanted to know more, now I do. :) Another grade A comic. Though, I've come to expect that.

[Emily]

Ana, Reaper, and Soldier 76!

"they left you to die. they left me to suffer." poor gabriel.

Good little read

[CapesandCovers]

Since all of the Overtwatch comics are about 10 pages long I'll only be doing mini reviews for them.

Okay I adored this. I'm perpetually sad over the fact that they cancelled First Strike, so this comic was something I was delighted with. Reaper/Soldier 76 and Shrike interaction and drama (or just old man angst). Either way I loved this and am really hoping to see more of the original group together.

Definitely pick this up if you're interested in/play Overwatch, it's well worth the read.

SOMBRA

SOMBRA is life. Matt shea butter and jelly sandwiches are you doing today and then go for it in my car to win this gift of the lottery ticket and a half day is good morning baby and the new job is to win a lot of clans in the lottery tickets

[Adam]

Nothing special. These comics are way too short to tell an interesting story. Adds a bit of flavor to the game's world though.

[Mimi]

continuing Ana's story. It's becoming rather interesting.

3.5*

[Kishor]

A bit of history/insight, but nothing fancy.

[Cal Bowen]

Starting to make sense

This is a good read. It bring in a new character as well as a previous one. Their stories entwined and made for a fun read.

Amazing

Flawless, an amazing comic full of lore and story worthwhile the story of overwatch continues worth the read ... X

[Lillian Francis]

Good story, even with my limited knowledge of the franchise, and I liked the artwork.

[Sentinelle23]

👍Une bonne suite.


A Gizeh, le vétéran Jack cherchait sa cible : Hakim.

Arrivé à la forteresse, il lui fallait trouver une entrée dégagée...

****

Très bonne suite dans laquelle l’on retrouve Ana du tome précédent.

Plein d’action et divertissant.
A découvrir.

👍A good sequel.


In Giza, veteran Jack was looking for his target: Hakim.

Arriving at the fortress, he had to find a clear entrance...

****

Very good sequel in which we find Ana from a previous volume.

Action-packed and entertaining.
To discover.

[Sander]

The comic is very short (10 pages) and expands the lore of the game Overwatch. It is the story of Ana and Soldier 76. The story continues on part 7 and gives a view of where the members of Overwatch are in the modern day.

The comic is beautifuly illustrated and fits the art of Overwatch. I recommend reading this comic if you enjoy the game and its lore

[Hunter]

Important background information presented in a short comic that centers on Ana, Soldier76 and Reaper.

One dislike I have though, is that it doesn't exactly match up with the new short story "Bastet" (2019). So like, one page of the comic is retconned.

[Fernando Daniel Acevedo]

Ana, Reaper y Soldado 76 se juntan y se dan cuenta que ninguno de los 3 están muertos

No se muestra la cara de Reyes (Reaper), pero dejan claro que esta desfigurado Y/O deforme al grado de que es casi inreconocible como ser humano.

[Nisha Ward]

Cross-posted to Amazon:

So, this is the first of the two stories that feature Jack as a main player and it's great! It does suffer from some of the problems of the previous issue but not to the same extent, since it balances story with character more.

[Juan]

AWESOME & ENTERTAINING COMIC

This is cool story about seeing overwatch characters when they were younger and later on older. Just like in the video games story.

I like it and entertaining to read.

Old Soldier

Set in Giza, Egypt, near the Temple of Anubis.

Hakim and his associates are offering a humongous reward for the mystery man.

The old man, Jack, makes his way to Hakim’s compound.

The Ghost has been looking for Jack since Switzerland.

Cool action scenes; the Ghost has some interesting powers.

Ana shows up—turns out they all have history together…
