It move forward the story with sombra and giving her real name as well.

Plus I like how Zarya is forced to deal with the fact that not "ALL OMNICS ARE EVIL!"

gives at least some progression.

hope you enjoyed Sup Forums

isn't that just another day in Sup Forums?

anywho OP. I enjoyed it anmd loving that artwork! It's leaps better than what previous comics blizzard released.

That looks like a beginning of porn

hmmm....didn't think of it that way!

>not even a new IP
>samefagging about some shitty comic
fuck off shill

love dat sombra

Holy shit dude, just hide,report, or ignore!

Whatever, it's not even as bad as modern marvel

We could always post another America Chavez Story time.

Well I can't say much for it. I wish they made these longer instead of just rushing everything because they keep trying to fit a story into like ten pages. Still They did address an actually existing Plot thread this time instead of just creating another one or having a comic about nothing, so they are improving. Maybe in three years we'll have an actual decent story worth reading.

>official comic
>character is OOC

I was not Aware Zarya even had a character beyond "Strong Russian Woman"

Her racism is played down pretty hard here.

I believe that can more so be blamed on Blizzard trying to fit a story into 10 pages and cutting corners in story telling to save space.

I honestly believe that as well.

Given in time hopefully they'll find some direction to it.

They are not good in the comics biz, but hey its free. *shrug*

>They are not good in the comics biz, but hey its free. *shrug*
Looking at Modern Warcraft, I think they've lost there touch in the story business in general.

Is she more racist to Omnics?

Like in the game or something?

Honestly, WHY did she rescue him? There is nothing in the comic that indicated a change of heart from her, or value his life over her mission. It came out of no where...

Am I supposed to care about any of these bargain bin demographic-pandering stereotypes? Call me when they make another TF2 comic.

I blame Chris Metzen on that on in Warcraft.

>Zarya not leaving the omnic to die
I'm so fucking angry holy shit

Yeah she's like "Around Omnics, watch your six." kind of shit. She's pretty blatant about it in the few voice clips that she does have.

>(Eliminating Bastion, Orisa, or Zenyatta) Never trust an omnic.
>(Eliminating Zenyatta) That is for my people.
>Zarya: I have destroyed more of your kind than I can count.
>Bastion: [sad beep]
>Orisa: Zarya, I have learned to utilize my graviton charge by watching you.
>Zarya: Your compliment is unwanted.
>Zarya: I have my eye on you, omnic.
>Zenyatta: And I will watch your back in turn.
It's pretty fucking blatant she hates omincs.

Are omnics supposed to be black people or something?

...

No
>Robots rebel against humanity, killing millions and destroying much
>lol no wait, it wasn't our fault, an evil AI made us do that, we're totally good now, mind if we crash with you guys
>WTF why don't these humans like or trust us, and why do they keep giving his the worst jobs like manufacturing, even though we were literally made to serve and are much better at becuase we're fucking robots
>These Humans are totally racist for not giving us human rights for accidentally attaining sapience and murdering millions of them
Omnics fucking suck

Jesus, OW has pretty dark plot if you think about it

>Call me when they make another TF2 comic.

I'm not sure how to tell you user, you're gonna be waiting for awhile.

Pretty much some fucked up shit. Especially that me short where the gang members beat that one robot and force that little girl to do the same.

Hold on for a second.
Is that shot for real or it's some kind of joke?

Overwatch comic.

Is there an actual physical comic book of overwatch is this just another short promotional things like the animation shots?

Because overwatch as a proper comic book series would probably be interesting too considering how little of the story in the actual game.

Nope it's not an edit homie that's 100% legit.

Now I feel really dead inside. I was legit butthurt for Steve and I am not even from the US

How is this even a predicament? Just kick her in the face and carry both of them out!
Come the fuck on!

Please boycott Marvel Comics. Why? Shit writing. Minority shilling. Mary Sue's as far as the eye can see. An overall garbage product.

>Released today from Blizzard.
>Blizzard story
yawn.

Usually these comics are painfully boring but this might be the best one yet. There is still alot left to be desired but still..

>Zarya's racism against ominics is addressed
>She makes some progress as a character.
>Zarya learns of Katya's betrayal and lies.
>We learn Zarya has "some" secret.
>We learn Sombra's real name is Olivia Colomar
>We learn something huge is about to go down in OW universe.

So what is Zarya's secret? I guess maybe some other identity or something - I'd say Blizzard would do the trans-card or something. But it'd be subversive to do something else entirely.

The "something big" Sombra points out could be the revival of the evil-AI or covert operation behind starting a war and divide. I'm gonna throw out there may be Aliens involved because they seem they could fit in this setting. It would also give a reason for Ominics and Humanity to unite.

I still remember Warcraft 3.
Those were good times.

At least they got Russian names right

I always feel like the Overwatch comics are lack luster. Like they are only really pandering nuggets and have no real substance beyond that. Like this Zarya one barely moves the plot forward or does anything cool. Instead it just sets up a bunch of shit that we will have to wait for, while also pandering a bit to the whole "people only hate omnics just cause their bigots" thing.

Like I don't even fucking play TF2, but I'm hooked on their fucking comics ever since someone posted it here. There's no pandering, there's no bullshit set ups. Just straight nonsense through and through.

Yeah it's a shame. You can really tell the lack of passion in the comics - that they are just a quick paycheck and never go beyond 10 pages (iirc).

TF2 is just about having fun - even in comics. OW wants to be a dramatic dark superhero thing - ESPECIALLY in the comics. There is some good lines in OW mostly attributed to the great voice acting - so the interactions are funny. They have loads of material but no idea what to do with it.

Also OW is a bit too focused on being this diverse-progressive story rather then just making characters and their motives fun. I mean remember the Junkertown short? It was one of the best shorts despite not having the polish other shorts did. Because they said fuck it and just made a fun video.

Plus we have to deal with Valve being so far up their own ass with only wanting to make money - not games that we will never get another Valve released game again.

I can't imagine how they can make a dark and serious story, considering how the game is.

I think it's kinda fucked up that literally only white characters hate the Omnics for some reason. They supposedly attacked people across the globe and not a single Nigerian or Mexican or whatever is around to say "man fuck those robots, they blew up my house"?

since Sup Forums is doing Vidya comics

Titan Comics 40k storytime UEN?

If I recall the people who wrote and drew the comics for TF2 are people who draw comics passionately about TF2 on tumblr or deviantart.

Valve just "contracts' NOT hire these artists, the way valve works is the pick up whatever project interests them.

last I heard only a handful of workers there are still interested in TF2 and even then they were promised the pyro update for almost 1 and a half years.

Isn't Zarya the only one?

Sup Forums storytimes Vidya comics time to time. It is pretty neat and I do like game companies try their hand at comics.

I genuinely think its a breath of fresh air.

Okay, is Valve completely dead on the creative side or what?

Torb and Junkrat both hate the Omnics with a passion. Roadhog too but I don't know what the fuck he is.

wtf

why didn't she just grab both of them? She's the strongest woman in the world isn't she?

>for some reason
The Omnic war is still going on in Russia, that's where Zarya's racism comes from. Also you see Mexican guys beating up an omnic in the Hero short.

Torb is too, kind of.

Aussies and Kiwis hate Omnics

plus those group of mexican gang thugs.

I think the hatred is all around

Sombra wasn't injured, she could leave on her own.

>junkertown short

Everyone complained about the animation quality, some even saying it looked like it was made in Gmod. But after the dust settled everyone loved it, and the Mei animation was sort of forgotten.

It's def a passion thing.

Overwatch needs the Adeptus Mechanicus to come and clean things up.

I imagine South Korea hates Omincs, considering they copied Pacific Rim for their plan to destroy Korea.

something like that and most of them moved into Dota2 and that new Card game coming along.

in fact they hired a few MTG artist for that game.

Source:Old Roommate used to work at Valve and now (funny enough) works for Blizzard as hjis wife works at University of Irvine now.

give them another year and maybe someone will have actually met up with Winston about the Overwatch thing

two more and they'll have decided to reform it

Zarya has a fervent hatred for Ominics since they blew up her homeland probably leaving her orphaned or something. She sort of made an ominic friend in this recent comic.

Torbjorn hates Ominics despite him having created them or leading to their creation. Most openly racist towards ominics. He seems to be softening up after allowing Bastion to tag along

Junkrat and Roadhog hate ominics, maybe because of the war leaving their homeland desolate but also probably because of their culture. Junkertown loathes ominics and kills them for sport.

"White" characters in OW not hating ominics.

Tracer -she admires the Shambali Monks Zenyatta is apart of and finds them inspiring. She is considered a "progressive" character.

Mcree - Never said anything about ominics - probably indifferent.

Mercy- Never said anything bad about ominics and seems like the type to try to help everyone.

Widowmaker - Can't recall her complaining about ominics either.

Reinhardt- Fought against ominics in the war, lost lots of friends but never really says he hates them. He is shown in the promo-trailer protecting ominics.


Reaper hates Ominics, pretty sure he is black/latino or just latino. He frequently insults them - he also hates Winston for being a sentient gorilla.

I think thats it..?

>Plus we have to deal with Valve being so far up their own ass with only wanting to make money - not games that we will never get another Valve released game again.
Why do people always say this as if it's true?

>The "something big" Sombra points out could be the revival of the evil-AI
Maybe the giganigga in charge of the terrist group wants to revive robohitler because war

I thought the Mei animation was nice, but it was a weak start to a new season after almost a year of waiting on top of a very slow lore reveals. The shorts themselves are apparently not meant to move the plot forward but introduce the characters into it, and they all end on vague notes. Even Mei who was definitely going to rejoin Overwatch just leaves off with her fucking walking through Antarctica like it's NBD. We still don't know who else has responded to the recall and it's been over a year since then in the canon itself too.

yea you got it...

also Doomfist also is friends with that omnic boss man

because all the people that worked on their really good games left already, and the only new game they have coming out is a card game.

Didn't the lead writer of Half life who left Valve went on to leak a Half Life story?

Huh, I missed most of in the game. That's kinda interesting

Okay but the important question is, who is the cuter Omnic: Zenyatta or Lynx Seventeen?

Yes. pastebin.com/q9DMFa7c

but don't worry, I'm sure the reason we haven't heard anything about HL3, Portal 3, or L4D 3 is because they were secretly working on them all along

Yes, at least with the Half-Life Episodic project.

Valve has openly stated the reason we will never get HL3 is because of Mass Effect 3 and rabid fanbases that are impossible to please.

They could never satisfy their fanbase with any kind of ending for Half-Life so they leave it open ended.

Also it would just be a "waste of money and resources". The game will never be revived at this point - all hype is long gone. They also killed Left for Dead franchise and Portal is probably never gonna be finished either. TF2 could maaaaaaaaaybe get a spinoff but its highly unlikely.

He leaked it because it was never coming out. He got through his ten year NDA and decided to give the fans at least some closure.

Sorta? It was his outline of ep. 3.

>Valve has openly stated the reason we will never get HL3 is because of Mass Effect 3 and rabid fanbases that are impossible to please.

yeah, sure. definitely not their retarded way of project management or when they found out they could just make infinite money making hats.

but I think all Valve's goodwill with the community at large died when they tried pushing paid mods for bethesda.

Actually what was his job since episode 2? Was he working on any titles?

She straight up hates Omnics. Voice clips and in her bio.

Zarya is so disgusting lookng

Embodiment of feminist retardation

she was made to appease to mental illness subhumans

To be OOC you need to have a C in the first place

This comic is a mess.
Not as bad as the Doomfist one, but it feels choppy.

Why the fuck are the Writers so bad at finding something to focus on and build a story around? I mean The franchise is fucking named Overwatch, you would think that that would help them get their priorities in order.

That's what happens you you want to tell a story, but you don't want to put the effort in of fleshing it out beyond a basic outline.

why make a story when most of the money is in the lootboxes?

To have your franchise dominate multiple fronts? To make something that could actually turn a profit on it's own? A personal sense of achievement that you have actually created something and the you aren't just a nine to five office drone helping vultures fleece rubes of their disposable income?

It's less that and more like they're intentionally dragging this out for as long as possible. We waited nearly a year for a new short and all it did was tell us what we already knew.

>Yo Doomfist
>Things have changed while you were in jail
>Running an evil org no longer pays for itself
>We own Starbucks now
>Talon inc. makes billions selling coffee alone
>I am on the front page of the next Forbes issue
>What do you mean you are going to kill me?

I forgot what his name was, but they made it look like he was very important, just to die in the very same issue.
Since he reminded me a lot of pic related I included his pic instead.

Pretty sure both Reaper and Doomfist hate omnics.

Do they even need to do a story? Just look at the explosion of stories and art from tumblr, just going off of skins and pre-match lines. They're happy as pigs in mud with just that.

I have a feeling the reason Blizzard shitcanned that origins comic was because they thought something would piss the fans off. why do that when they're good with this?

Lynx

>Not liking beefy thicc dominant women.

Reaper hates everything. He hates his former friends, he hates his coworkers, he hates his surrogate son. Hell he probably hates himself.

Doomfist is neutral about the Omnics, but he does think that war with them is inevitable and considers that a good thing.

>I have a feeling the reason Blizzard shitcanned that origins comic was because they thought something would piss the fans off
Yeah that was partially it, but Jeff (I think it was Jeff) said it was just too different because it didn't match the final results they got with the characters, because it was planned like a fucking long time ago.

But that's not to say, they're never going to do anything out of fear of pissing the fans off, they're just doing as gradually as possible so people aren't overwhelmed. Which I still think is stupid since they introduce a new hero into the story every few months.

Welp your gonna get banned

>they thought something would piss the fans off
They even have internal shipping wars, from what I've heard.
Priorities.
