Overwatch #19
Tracer—London Calling #3

We’re back in London now.

Tracer is very confused by Widowmaker and her actions.

She’s also very upset that Mondatta, the Omnic leader, has been slain.

As the crowd gathers, Lena considers Widowmaker’s possible motivations.

Tracer gets the package from Winston; she’d already begun to expect Talon’s involvement in the assassination.

Lena *really* should know by now not to go into dangerous situations without her Acceleration….

Robot uprising.

Good color artwork. Second series of milieu. Tracer is a junior member of overwatch. Part of a lesbian couple. Feels a lot of angst. Getting involved with the robot underground while sparks are about to turn into full fledged war.
