The latest in the ever growing list of Overwatch comics brings the tank Zarya front and center in Searching. In the latest media to shed some light on the lore surrounding the hit Blizzard FPS, players see Zarya in a new light: as Sergeant Aleksandra Zaryanova. Zaryanova is tasked with an incredibly compromising task, at least for her. This character is known for her very public dislike of Omnics, so to see her partnered up with one named Lynx in a search for the illusive hacker Sombra was a bit of a twist.

The comic, like its predecessors, gives key information on how these heroes intertwine with their histories. Some backstories have been heartbreaking, others – like Tracer’s – gave off the warm and fuzzies. Searching helps players see Zarya in a different light, one where she can be seen overcoming her own prejudices to get the job done.
Without giving too much away about the latest comic addition, for those that have also seen the accompanying Overwatch animated shorts might find the child that aids Zarya in her quest to capture Sombra a little bit familiar. This is the same young girl that was seen in Soldier 76’s animated short ‘Hero’. Alejandra gives Zarya what she needs to know to confront Sombra, though a bit reluctantly.
Eventually the confrontation between Sombra and the pair tasked to find her goes down and though it immediately looked like a victory for the robust tank, Sombra sneakily reveals a secret that throws the pink-haired powerhouse for a loop. To read more about Zarya’s past with Sombra and what that secret is, you can read the full comic for free right here.
