Working as a part-time hero in her hometown of London, Tracer encounters a “punk-rock” omnic (robot) named Iggy, who shows her “the dire living conditions that have been forced upon London’s omnics,” leading her to become “determined to help in any way possible — even if it puts her back in the crosshairs.”
Launched in 2016, Overwatch is a team-based first-person shooter that features over 30 playable heroes. Tracer, voiced by Cara Theobold, became the game’s breakout character, going on to appear in Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm and Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One — the character also garnered further attention when she was revealed to be a lesbian in the game’s initial tie-in comic (produced in-house by Blizzard).
According to CBR’s exclusive, the comic will continue to release monthly online first, and the first issue will be released in print on December 2, 2020. Issue #1 is now available to read in over 13 different languages at Dark Horse Digital, and the official Overwatch website.
