This is a very good conclusion. I love the use of music in this series. Also, for a free comic book based on a video game, this actually does a very good job of exploring what it means to be human and what is human or a person.

A bit cheesy ending for a story.. I hoped more character development, than just simple blind heroism..

[Andrea Trenary · Rating 3 out of 5]

This fell flat for me. It could have been better and I hope they'll do more to tell other's stories, I want more about Junkrat and Sigma. Also Lucio.

[DOUGLAS J BERRY · Rating 5 out of 5]

A bit of a quick wrap up.

Good color artwork. Suitable for teens and adults. The omnic rebellion is brought to an end without resolving the underlying issues. Tracer and her girlfriends get a happy ending.

This is the final issue of a comic miniseries currently free on Kindle. See issue one for comments. Something of an underwhelming ending.

Winston has my heart.

[Rue Knight · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found the ending to be disappointing and typical Blizzard being unable to end a series without a man stepping in to save the day, even if that man is a gorilla. I would have much rather have had Tracer find a way to end the comic without being saved. Don’t get me wrong I love Winston but just once don’t play the rescue card.

Lena is shocked to see Iggy in the clutches of Kace.

Lizzy and Tracer must escape Kace’s omnibus...

Winston also shows up to help the ladies out.

Kace has dire plans, for the Underworld and for humanity.

Lena puts herself in harm’s way for the cause she believes in.

Adequate; high on drama.
