Overwatch #1: Train Hopper
Justice aint gonna dispense itself. It's high noon as McCree takes center stage in Train Hopper, the first in a series of free digital comic shorts that further illuminate the characters and world of Overwatch. Train Hopper follows a day in the life of gunslinging outlaw Jesse McCree, the former Blackwatch operative who metes out his own brand of vigilante justice. In Train Hopper, McCree hitches a ride on a hypertrain to Houston in the hopes of skipping town and laying low for a while. But soon after the engine starts, he realizes his trip is going to be anything but low profile. Written by Blizzards own Robert Brooks and illustrated by Bengal (Adventures of Supergirl), McCree: Train Hopper is now available to read in full! We hope you enjoy it, and stay tuned for more Overwatch digital comics coming soon!

Interesante cómic sobre el pistolero McCree. En este caso, el cuatrero viaja de polizón en un tren bala mientras, por casualidad, unos militares asaltan el tren en busca de "algo". McCree destila un especial sentido del humor y del deber.
El cómic también tienen un episodio de "Reinhardt: Dragon Slayer".
------------------------
Interesting comic about the gunslinger McCree. In this case, the rustler stows away on a bullet train while, by chance, some soldiers raid the train in search of "something". McCree exudes a special sense of humour and duty.
The comic also features an episode of "Reinhardt: Dragon Slayer".

Gratis, 100% legal y en español, ¿que mas se puede pedir? (posiblemente que no tenga solo 1 estrella :()
Los 2 primeros comics en amazon:
Los 6 primeros cómics de la serie aquí para descarga gratuita:
-----------------------------------------
Lo malo de estos cómics es que son demasiado cortos, todos tienen menos de 10 paginas, y no permiten ningún tipo de desarrollo, simplemente te presentan al personaje, vienen los malos, gana el bueno de turno, fin.
Vamos que solo nos presenta un poco al personaje de turno, a veces algo sobre su país y poca cosa mas vemos
Y plantean algunos algún dilema filosófico que tampoco va mucho mas allá.
La cosa positiva es que la versión online es gratuita.
Tienen mucha mas chicha los cortos que se relacionan entre ellos.
Nota 2,5/10 (1,25 star)

Me gustaría decir algo sobre lo que se a estado comentando sobre este juego si es estafa, que se piensa blizzard, blablabla
Mucha gente dice que es una estafa y que no entienden como la gente no se dedica a criticarlo igual que al Batllefront Star Wars, creo que los 2 casos aunque presentan similitudes son bastante diferentes.
-Para empezar el Batllefront Star Wars de salida para jugar debías pagar 60-70€ y 60-70€ mas para la season pass (aquí solo hablo de precios de tienda) y creo que existía un pack que costaba 129€, por lo contrario Overwatch cuesta 40-50€ en pc, 50-60€ en consola y no hace falta pagar una season pass.
-Después el Batllefront Star Wars, a los 15 días de su salida, se rebajo su precio a la mitad, dudo bastante que hasta que no pase un año veamos una oferta similar en overwatch.
-Y por supuesto se a anunciado un Batllefront Star Wars 2 para un año después del BSW y probablemente se convierta en una saga anual, yo creo que Overwatch apostara mas por expansiones la verdad, aunque no puedo decir si serán anuales, bianuales o cuanto costaran.
Por otro lado el juego pose microtransacciones, las cuales te permiten conseguir cajas pagando dinero, pero estas también las puedes conseguir a base de jugar, esto no es algo que haya inventado blizzard, hay multitud de juegos que te permiten conseguir cosas del juego pagando en vez de haciendo, no se, 500 combates/partidas.
Entonces es un timo?, posiblemente por lo que ofrece dentro del juego este sea algo caro, ya que solo hay multijugador, pero creo que no llega a timo, simplemente a caro, cosa que demuestra la nota de metacritic que es de 7,4 (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/ove...), en cambio el de Batllefront Star Wars es 3,4 (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/sta...), de todas formas esto es criterio personal, existen otras opciones como teamfortes 2 que son "gratis", bueno teniendo en cuenta que si compras algo de la tienda desbloqueas un montón de cosas la gente suele pagar 1 euro por ese motivo, si no tenéis prisa siempre podéis esperar un año a que lo bajen a la mitad o no comprarlo.
Espero haber dejado clara mi opinión, aunque siempre estoy dispuesto a leer vuestra opinión en los comentarios.
También y aunque sea menos importante esta lo de los culos de los personajes femeninos donde parte de la comunidad dice que se estan degradando a las mujeres y la otra mitad de la comunidad dice que las mujeres pueden llevar leggins/pantalones y que es normal que estos marquen algo sus formas.
También hubo un Trolleo en el foro por parte de Blizzard en que alguien pedía que sacaran una postura de Tracer por ser demasiado sugerente, un administrador le dijo que tenia razón y que tomarían cartas en el asunto y pusieron una postura aun mas sugerente...
Mi opinión: Verdad que a nadie se le ocurriría decirle a esta mujer algo?
Pues si en la vida diaria se ve como algo normal no veo porque en los juegos debería ser diferente.
Al final que cada uno decida si lo quiere comprar o no
Lo malo:
-El precio
-Pocos mapas
-Pocos modos de juego
Lo bueno:
-Bastantes personajes (unos 21)
-Transfondo (aunque para disfrutar de los cortos no hace falta comprar el juego)
-Servidores seguros. (a diferencia de otros títulos aquí no encontrareis hackers ni gente que haga cosas raras)

Rewritten review; old review incorporated into new
In the first issue of Overwatch Digital Comics, we follow McCree in his own mini adventure, called Train Hopper. McCree just wants a quiet day on his rides to Houston, hoping for a low profile and to skip town. But quite soon after the train starts moving, McCree realises his trip is going to be anything but low profile.
When I first saw this comic for free on the Amazon Kindle Store in March, I had to read it, due to an old friend being in love with the game. After one of my boyfriends turned out to be really big OVW trash – and after I managed to find the two missing comics on my Amazon cloud – I had to reread it.
I never expected to fall in love with McCree back in March when I first read this.
I definitely didn’t expect to fall in love with him all over again now, in November.
I still really love the art style in this. Bengal did absolutely wonders with the art work in this. Despite it only being 10 pages long, everything is so sleek and fits together well. I don’t know if that was because it was only 10 pages long, so Bengal had more time to focus on it, or if Bengal treated it like any long paged comic but the art style is just amazing. Bengal is probably one of my favourite comic illustrators, and has been since I read these, and coming back to this was just amazing.
I said back in March that this comic was short, but well worth the read, and it’s definitely made me want to play the fame and read more in the series. Again, this holds true. This makes me want to go download the game, and set up an account, and get on and play as McCree. I said this was a wonderful story, short, precise and to the point and again, I stand by this statement in full. This is still a short story, only ten pages, but it reads well, it is smooth and there’s no screwing around. However, this doesn’t feel rushed. I don’t know if this is because I knew what was coming, vaguely, or if it was because of how the story was set up, but it did not feel rushed. It was surprisingly well paced for a ten page comic, and I was shocked, even now, reading it a second time.
I still thoroughly enjoyed this, a lot. It made me laugh, it made me smile, and I think I left just enough time between readings to enjoy this fully. I forgot what happened in this, but reading through it again brought back the fond memories of sitting in my room, at 3am reading this for the first time, and I still really enjoyed it the second time. I don’t know if these are still free, but I recommend this comic series for any science fiction / Overwatch fan.

Overwatch #1 McCree by Robert Brooks is a graphic/digital novel short that seems just to give the reader an overview of who McCree is. A former Blackwatch operative who now is kind of a vigilante justice of his own. In this short tale, it shows how he does this. The images are amazing and the fonts are very easy to read. The story is easy to follow and short.

McCree (this comic came out before this character was renamed Cassidy) is on a train when it is attacked by a Blackwatch unit. He deals with the problem and ensures that the passengers of the train are safe. Overall, this was well done. However, it is heavy in action and light on story.

Character intro. Nothing special. It was fun.

Good
McCree is cool and does some pretty chill stuff in this comic. I recommend reading it because it's cool. ;)

I got this very short 10-page freebie, because I liked the look of the cover.
It‘s too short for anything meaningful. McCree travels on a train, he looks like a cowboy and seems to be an outlaw of some kind. The setting is in the future. The train is attacked by some guys in full body armour, abseiling from helicopters at over 600 km/h. That‘s about it.
The artwork was ok.
I don‘t feel the urge to continue with this.

Apparently this is a video game? Don't care. I enjoyed this comic. Nice sci-fi western. Note that this Kindle freebie is under 15 pages.

McCree, or... erm... Cassidy!
Cool issue about the character relaxing on his way to nowhere, in a train, while some secret service guys ruin his day and trying to steal something from the train while killing everybody and McCree saves the day!
Really nice artwork, but overall it was just an ok story for what it was.

This comic was awesome. And so were the illustrations. I loved this comic, I can't wait to read the others. I also love Overwatch the game in general. I also like how they put the character (Mcree) in the comic. 4.5/5

loved it. super fun to read and short. can’t wait to read all of them

I rated it one star because I barely understand the story, and the pages can be more, not worth buying.

I read this online and it was a pretty good comic for McCree. hard to find on a reliable website though.

Since all of the Overtwatch comics are about 10 pages long I'll only be doing mini reviews for them.
This was a nice look at what McCree has been up to, now that Overwatch has been disbanded. It's a bit cliche, but it suits his personality well. Overall it's nothing exceptional, but it's fun. If you're a fan of the game it's definitely worth the few minutes to read it.

People would gladly pay for this...
This is a free promotional comic. It's kind of required reading of you are into comic books AND Overwatch. For everyone else it's worth checking out.

Alright
The whole series, this issue included shows just a bit of backstory of all overwatch characters which makes it more in depth with the universe. The issue is short and so I wish it was slightly bigger with more detail.

These comics really are short. They are OK, nothing special, but bring some flavor to the game's universe.

Another rating: 6/10
I should probably played the game, huh?

Reading this because I'm super into Overwatch at the moment and these seem like fun ways to learn more about the world and the heroes. This issue does a good job of conveying McCree's outlaw nature.

Reseña completa en el blog: https://mundosdeairin.blogspot.com/20...
Solo conozco de vista y oídas el videojuego de Overwatch, pero nunca he jugado. Sí es cierto que conozco un poco a los personajes y la historia que los envuelve.
Antes de empezar a leer estos cómics hay que saber que sus historias se centran en un mundo donde los países que conocemos han evolucionado, algunos mejor que otros. Y estos personajes se encargan, cada uno a su manera, de mantener el mundo a salvo de la invasión de los ómicron que son como robots malvados. Tengo que admitir que los estoy leyendo porque están gratuitos en formato digital y me llama la atención el mundo de Overwatch.
Este primer cómic nos presenta al forajido McCreen que huye de la justicia e intenta pasar desapercibido sin mucho éxito. Es una historia corta, de diez páginas, así que todo pasa bastante rápido y termina dejándote con ganas de más y saber qué va a pasar.
El dibujo es a todo color y muy detallado, sobre todo los momentos de acción. Tiene algún punto cómico y la historia está bastante entretenida. Pero se me queda corta. No sé si continuará o lo dejan así para que nos quedemos con la intriga.
Para quienes conozcan el juego, puede ser una buena manera de conocer un poco más a los personajes.

A class could be taught on how fast a character can be developed and utilized; and in that class I would submit this comic as an example. It's about- oh, i'd say *scratches head* 6-10 pages of story? And in that time, on the first page alone we understand everything we will ever need to know about McCree as a character. He's the apotheosis of all western badass tropes rolled into one identity. Creating the ultimate "It's been a long day" badass.
It's fast an exciting. Kinda shocked it found its way to Goodreads honestly.

As little I know about Overwatch, my son enjoys it, and I got him a bunch of Kindle comics for Overwatch. They seem very short and leave me with more questions, so I guess that’s the pull. I’m still not any further interested in playing Overwatch (Not my gaming style), but I can see why my son enjoys the characters and getting back stories. (The back stories behind characters is why I liked this.)
