This is my favorite of the Overwatch comics so far. Anna, an elite sniper, deals with the difficulties of being a sniper as tragedy strikes her team. The internal dialogue does a good job of developing the character. Also, this delivers quite a lot of backstory for such a short comic.

Nice story about Ana, with a bit of a twist at the end!

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ana, the central character here, is the mother of the central character in #5. This is an excellent sniper story, though I will admit as a non-player of the video game this series is based on, I ended up looking up the characters after reading this. This volume also ties into the following #8.

I love how this series presents female characters. Truly wonderful.

Eesh

That one was pretty sad. Well done though, very well done. Curious to know more about her though, seems interesting.

Rewritten review; old review incorporated into new

In the seventh issue of Overwatch Digital Comics, we follow Ana Amari in her own mini adventure, Legacy. Whilst protecting her Overwatch squad as they rescue hostages from a Talon stronghold, sniper Ana Amari faces a foe she's never come across before — a sniper as good as her. Ana must do everything she can to keep her people out of harm's way – but at what cost?

This is a stunning story about war, loyalty and justice; wanting to be there for family. It touched my heart, and honestly, tears sprung up at one point. That's right. I cried during a 10 page comic. I'm weak. It was such a stunning few frames though and really touched my heart, it hurt to see.

The artwork is amazing again. Bengal has produced quality images yet again for this comic series and every time, his skill amazes me. The story is beautiful, Robinson once again bringing such immaculate writing to the board. Combining their two talents, this comic ends up a stunning piece of work.

Nice exploration of Ana's character. I think this one has a bit more depth than the other issues I've read so far.

loved the twist

3.5*

I enjoy reading the *Overwatch* comics. My fiance's friend is trying to get me into the *Overwatch* game - but, it seems so different from these comics. Now, my fiance' thinks he should get me the game - but, I'm really not interested.

Great Art but Short

Love it. It was rather short though, or I read it super fast because it is so good. Either way,its free and well drawn.

Most badass mom ever

After reading this story I want more stories of Ana. She's really cool and I want to see more of her and the old overwatch team

[Robert J D · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story line would have enjoyed more, nice art work.

💀Distrayant.


Ana a toujours été fière de faire son travail de tireuse d'élite mais maintenant elle était si fatiguée...

Son œil cybernétique lui permettait des exploits...

****

Une bonne histoire divertissante qui se lit rapidement, avec un personnage principal intéressant et émouvant.

A découvrir.

💀Distracting.


Ana was always proud to do her job as a sniper but now she was so tired...

His cybernetic eye allowed him feats...

****

A good, entertaining story that is a quick read, with an interesting and moving main character.

To discover.

[Sander · Rating 5 out of 5]

The comic is very short (10 pages) and expands the lore of the game Overwatch. It is the story of Ana and her mission with Soldier 76. The story tells where she got her eyepatch and sets up part 8 of the comics.

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

Entertaining Story

Entertaining Overwatch comic book story. Comic book has a nice art style, also liking more about Overwatch Universe.

When I'm reading them. I can't wait for more stories.

Cross-posted to Amazon:

This is fine. It's just fine. It's not atrocious but I don't think Anna's story works with so little to it. What makes it even more so is that it's linked directly to the game's storyline instead of just adding to the characters or to the lore itself. Wish it had more.

[Isabel Tapia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Me encantó. Amo a Ana y ver un evento tan importante en su vida, que creo un parte aguas... Dios... Lo amo, y ver su forma de pensar en todas las muertes que ha causado, pero sabiendo el porque y que esté daño es bidireccional... No tiene precio. Lo amé, el mejor hasta ahora.

Sniper vs Sniper Action

Enjoyed this short digital thriller. Wish it was longer. Are there more comic titles from Overwatch? I will look into this.

Great Short Story.







Excellent tale getting deeply into the head of the character and her justice for her actions. Also shows the pain.

[Cal Bowen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Failed ending

The story started off so good, telling the story of a sniper on a mission. The ending gives no finality to the story and we are left to wonder what happens.

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was definitely my favorite so far!

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the best so far.

[Hunter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Single issue comic that provides some important background info on the Overwatch hero, Ana Amari.

[Hank Hutton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This actually may be my favorite of the OW comics. Loved the sniping and action that takes place. The end was cool af too.

"I'm considered one of the finest snipers on the planet"
...

Hold on now gurl. I know another sister.

*keeps on reading*

BAAAM.

[Cuchi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Creo que es de los más decentes.

Te muestran el como Ana perdio el ojo (Cosa que ya se vio en los trailers del personaje) pero te muestran un poco de varios personajes en su pasado.

[Noah Joël · Rating 5 out of 5]

Meiner Meinung nach der beste Overwatch Comic, intensiv geschriebene Story line, die einen regelrecht fesselt und mit Spannung durchflutet. Nur zu empfehlen.

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish these weren't so short, they're so good.

[Lumi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I swear Ana is the sweetest
