To answer your question:

They're official, licensed by Hasbro, but they're not from the same writers as the show, nor does the show acknowledge them as canon. And there are some inconsistencies regarding changelings and Chrysalis.

I guess it's mostly a matter of what you choose to believe. Me, I say the comics are non-canon and therefore Sombra's just a psychotic, powerful, power-hungry unicorn who got his current appearance through powerful magic, and he's dead.
