And the story starts with two of my favorites too Cassidy and Ana. Amazing artwork, decent enough story to start things up and solid work overall. Great coloring too.
I guess this one's going to introduce us to some of the new characters in Overwatch 2.

Like a lot of these video game comics from Dark Horse, you are expected to be extremely well-versed on the game and know all of the lore to enjoy these. There is no introduction or explanations to what's going on even though there' is obviously a lot that has gone on outside this comic.
This is about a character from the game going around recruiting new members even though in the latter issues he just shows up at the end and tells people to join up. Ray Fawkes does his typical half-assed job writing this after a decent start at the beginning.
