Tracer: Reflections is the tenth Overwatch comic. It was collected in Overwatch: Anthology Volume 1.[1]

Description[ | ]

In "Reflections," the holidays have arrived at Overwatch, and everybody is heading home to spend time with the ones closest to them. Meanwhile, a massive snowstorm has turned King's Row into a winter wonderland, catching Tracer in the middle of an important mission, while at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, Winston contemplates the past year and the one to come.[2]

Trivia[ | ]

  • This is the first Overwatch comic to feature in some way all the heroes that were playable in the game at the time of publication.
  • The comic was the first to show any of the playable characters being in a current romantic relationship, notably Tracer with her girlfriend Emily, and Torbjörn with Ingrid.
  • The comic was banned in Russia owing to its lesbian kiss, which violated Russian federal law.[3]
  • In response to a question about the children being read stories to by Reinhardt, the official Overwatch Twitter account stated that they are Torbjörn's.[4] Michael Chu has since clarified that most of the children are actually Torbjörn's grandchildren.[5]

Development[ | ]

  • The comic started out as a simple idea to show how various heroes spent their holidays. The idea to reveal Tracer's relationship/sexuality came later. By extension, it was decided to make Tracer the main character of the comic.[6]
  • Miki Montlló was chosen to be the comic's illustrator, as her art style was already similar to that of Overwatch. Montlló wasn't given story specifics up front but was informed that the comic would feature a character revelation. The kiss between Tracer and Emily went through numerous takes; Montlló wanted to convey that the pair were in a warm and loving relationship.[6]
