Great stories but slightly damages book

Great stories but slightly damages book
First off the only reason why I don’t give it 5 stars is because the corner of my comic was somewhat damaged. Now with that out of the way, the book itself is made very well, pictures have amazing quality and the cover is so beautiful. Tacer and some other characters have a cool texture like the image is slightly popping out of the book. The storiws and ar are wonderful. To that note, BEWARE that Blizzard will let you know some more insight into the characters story but just enough to keep you wondering and having more questions than you had at the beginning so be ready for that lol. Can’t wait for the next ones!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for Overwatch fans, just a little on the short end
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

This is a great book! I love all of the stories, and the fact that each one has a distinct art style is really neat. On top of that, the authors of each story clearly did all they could with the short amount of pages they had. However, this book is a little on the short end, even for a Graphic Novel. I finished the entire thing in a little under 20 minutes, actually. Also, despite what the cover and description want you to think, not every character has a dedicated story/big role. Every character does appear at least once, but some a relegated to small cameos. Regardless, it's a great read for any Overwatch fan.

I'm writing this review not as a fan of the game . I do not currently on the game because I'll admit I'm not good at it therefore it is not fun for me. I do however love it's colorful cast of characters and their individuality, how each character feels alive. This comic series was given for free by blizzard to digital readers a couple months back and while I did read them then I still preferred a physical book. I have no problem buying this because again this delves into those characters more in-depth since the game itself has no real story. Any one else in my predicament, I feel like I'm not alone in that, will also enjoy seeing these characters fleshed-out and their histories sort of explained. I hope this is a continued series and that we get more and more from The Amazing writers at blizzard as they are quite the Masters at what they do.

Firstly, it came in two days thanks to Amazon Prime. The quality of the book itself is very nice and the graphics aren't awful either. I'm honestly very excited to binge read this. The only downfall is there isn't another volume for more characters, in-case your favorite didn't make it in this one.

So, big fan of Overwatch here. I picked this up super cheap at a time when the low price was well below the release price. Amazon always honors the lowest price on pre-orders, so it was cheap! I found this to be a neat extra for me. Overwatch is a great game, but the game itself focuses on solid gameplay with 0 story. It was nice to understand a little more about the characters and has been a long time since I have read any comics.

Los colores son vívidos, el papel es grueso y de buena calidad; y la limpieza con la que está armado este libro no dejan nada que desear. Sin duda es increíble leer las historietas en este magnífico libro. Totalmente recomendado por la gran calidad con la que está hecho el producto.

Reviewed in Canada on October 27, 2017

This comic book is meant to explore deeper into the world of Overwatch video game. Blizzard uses a bunch of forms to create their universes - short movies, comics, game - and this is one of their initiatives; digital comics freely available on Blizzard.

The book is hardcover and contains all comics episodes that are available for free on the internet officially. It means that if you're looking for contents, you can access it from Blizzard website, so this book is meant for those who really like Overwatch and keep it as a book. The book quality is high enough and feels premium.

It does contain a few concept drawings at the back of the book but not much enough to entice readers who really want vast amount of exclusive contents.
