I really need to go back and mark the rest as read. I never thought to check Goodreads until today to see if these digital comics show up.

I checked this one because Reaper is easily the most interesting character in the game. There's no contest in my book, so seeing his backstory is just the highlight of my day. And I want the world to know.

The writing and art are superb, but of course they're bound to be when the subject matter is Commander Reyes.

Great little comic about Blackwatch and the contrast between them and overwatch. How 1 is willing to save at all costs, while the other is more law abiding.

Great new storyline

A great melding of the Overwatch & Blackwatch crews. Following a devastating attack against Overwatch, the leaders of the two evil-fighting organizations consider their next moves against the current greatest foe that confronts the world, Talon .. Who also was behind the attack on Overwatch. And as we see at the end of the book, Blackwatch doesn't play by the same rules that their Overwatch breathren do .. They are determined to get hold of one of the big-wigs of Talon and wrong some intelligence from him .. And they don't seem too concerned about the methods used to get it.

A good read! And an exciting start to a new storyline.

The last issue in the overwatch comic series is about black watch and how reaper gets frustrated that they can’t kill and Mcree also agrees but they can’t do anything about it.
Overall good book

No les voy a engañar, tenía toda la pinta este comic y evento ingame, ya que cuentan los sucesos previos a una misión de los archivos donde hay un ataque terrorista contra Overwatch y Blackwatch se ocupa personalmente del asunto.

En el juego va Reaper y en vez de arrestar al culpable, lo matan, teniendo que escapar como pueden del lugar.

En ese punto, poco a poco Overwatch comenzo a tener mala imagen pública.


Acá podian ponerse las pilas y por fin dar un salto en sus historias, pero no, la historia volvio a estancarse...

Nunca se explica que paso exactamente, nunca se explica por qué Reyes destruyo Overwatch, no me creo que solo fueran por tener distintos pensamientos y metodos, además tenía la fe de algun día muestren que los de Blackwatch en realidad no son malos sino que tienen otra forma de actuar y tarde o temprano todos trabajarian en equipo y cerrarian un arco.

Pero con el anuncio de Overwatch 2 sigue con "Omnicos atacando ciudades"

Retribution

Begins with a flashback to Switzerland, eight years ago.

Continues on to the Blackwatch Facility in Rome, Italy—present day.

Following the attack in Oslo, Norway, McCree and Commander Reyes review what information they’ve gathered on Antonio.

Turns out Talon is still after them.

Gérard Lacroix remains hospitalized; Dr. Zeigler claims he will make a full recovery.

Interesting cliffhanger ending.

I'm so happy we've moved onto the actual story. All the major good guys have been introduced, so what better way to get to know the bad guys than to look at what Talon is doing and how characters like Doomfist, Sombra and Widowmaker play into it all?

Broody and edgy melodrama worthy of a teenager passing through a face.

Other than the skin ad, plug-in at the end, this has not much to offer. Overwatch was attacked and is sending a black-ops team in retaliation.

I think this is the first one so far I actually didn’t enjoy reading.

White there are discrepancies between character reactions in the comic and the mission in game, McCree in particular, this is still a great tie-in and a great read overall. I always want more Blackwatch.

Hard to understand and incomplete..

To understand this one, I guess, you need a good background about characters from before.
A low rating because it was like a beginning of a story without any conclusion. It's hard to call a complete work..
