A waste of time. If you read volume 1, you really don't need this edition. It doesn't include any of the most recent stuff, which is irritating considering that all 5 volumes of London Calling were released by 2021 and this anthology came out in early 2022. Blizzard could have definitely waited and made sure they were included before publishing because in this anthology there are only THREE additional stories that were not included in vol 1, and ZERO new extras, that I already believed were lacking at the end of vol 1. This is honestly just a complete waste of paper because like 85% of this comic was already published in vol 1. There's literally no point.

1 star, but I gave an extra for the beautiful cover art and the ridiculously adorable Mei Yeti Hunt comic that actually brought happiness to my cold dead heart.

This was so much fun. The art is gorgeous, and every time I turned a page I was more and more impressed with the inclusion of characters, the colors and the different locations found in the game. This is not just a tie-in, it's actually an extension of the game and storylines. It's really meant for someone who has played the game for years, seen the events, and enjoyed the backstories, cutscenes and origin stories. Someone who is a casual fan can certainly pick this up, but they won't get all of the nods and references. There's two Junkenstein stories, a few panels about Lunar New Year, and an adorable little snippet about the Yeti event. The only other downside besides it being so niche is that it was too short! I want more!
This was definitely the best comic I've read in a long time. I highly recommend it if you play Overwatch as it's such a treat. My favorite stories were Ana's, Torbjorn's and Bastion's.
