Overwatch : Mccree #1

With games like No Man’s Sky, Doom, and Final Fantasy XV on the way, 2016 is shaping up to be a great year for gamers. However, the game for which I am most excited is a plucky little first-person shooter called Overwatch.

Actually, “little” is about the exact opposite of what this expansive, multiplayer team-based shooter is. Overwatch lets you select one of 21 different heroes with incredible abilities—e.g. robotic ninja Genji, pistol-packing adventurer Tracer, cloaked mystical mercenary Reaper, to name a few—and compete with teammates against another squad of heroes to complete various objectives.

 The game, which is Blizzard’s first original IP in 17 years, joins the ranks of fan-favorites like Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft, all of which have incredibly deep lore surrounding them. And in classic Blizzard fashion, Overwatch has done a bang-up job of making its colorful characters feel three-dimensional (and not just graphically) through fleshing out their backstories.

Case in point: Blizzard’s brand new Overwatch digital comics. Written by Robert Brooks, a senior writer on Blizzard’s Creative Development team, and illustrated by Bengal (Spider-Gwen, All-New Wolverine, Batgirl), Overwatch: McCree: Train Hopper is part of a series of six digital comic shorts centering around the cavalcade of kooky combatants from the game.

As the title would suggest, this first one focuses on Jesse McCree, a vigilante gunslinger trying to keep his nose clean on a train ride to Houston, Texas. Unfortunately, wherever McCree goes, trouble seems to follow, and not even Denzel Washington can stop the locomotive mayhem that’s about to go down.
