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.
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.

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.
