“If you’ve enjoyed what Tomb Raider has offered in previous issues, you’ll continue to enjoy this series.”—Comicosity Lara Croft is intent on saving her friend Sam Nishimura from the grip of the sun goddess Himiko. Trinity, the shadowy organization with ties to Lara’s father, is after Sam for their own sinister reasons. Lucky for both of them, Sam is easy to find these days: she’s leaving a path of destruction in her wake, on an international quest to fully sacrifice herself to Himiko. When everyone’s paths converge, Lara finds herself facing off against both old friends and old enemies. * By Eisner Award–winning author Mariko Tamaki!
