Overwatch #2: Dragon Slayer
by Matt Burns
Rewritten review; old review incorporated into new
In the second issue of Overwatch Digital Comics, we follow Reinhardt in his own mini adventure called Dragon Slayer. The years haven’t been kind to Reinhardt or his armour in this mini comic but he still hasn’t given up his vision of a better world for everyone. When Reinhardt stumbles across a village that’s being threatened by a violent gang named the Dragons, he picks up his hammer and does what any true knight in shining armour would; he protects those that cannot protect themselves.
It is not obvious at first what Reinhardt stands for, until the comic begins. He cannot bear to see this simple village lost without a hope, and so he steps up with a short burst of justice and fairness. It is exactly what Reinhardt stands for. He brings the idea of hope and safety, and gives them back to a small village who had lost them previously.
Reading Reinhardt fighting for this village he never knew before felt like an honour. This is what he stands for. This is the kind of man he is. He is fair. He is just. And he’s a damn good hero.
His character design is another thing I really like from the comics. It’s canon from the game, and sweet as hell to see. The hints at his backstory and sweet little tit bits that make the reader wonder about more and it’s just all well rounded.
Again, the artwork is amazing. Bengal did yet another amazing job with it, and he really has a fluency to run with whatever art form is needed. Whether that’s because it was an eleven page comic he could spend his time on, or he needed to spend more time on it because it was an eleven page comic, I don’t know, but Bengal has done absolute wonders for the Digital Comic. Bengal’s illustrations in just the two current stories have looked absolutely amazing, and its more his illustrations I’m looking more forward to, than anything else about this series.
