As someone who hasn’t played the new Tomb Raider game, focused on exploring the origins of Lara Croft, I found Tomb Raider #1 a bit of a tease as it takes place after the events of the recent game which we only see glimpses of in dialogue or dream flashbacks from our heroine’s time on the Japanese island of Yamatai which forged Lara Croft into the adventurous English archaeologist fans have enjoyed ever since the first game was released in 1996.
Picking up sometime after Croft’s life-changing experiences, we see her interactions with two other survivors including a fellow shipwrecked passenger of the Endurance who seems literally haunted by some mystical force surrounding the artifacts which were removed from the island during their tumultuous stay there.
Those who have played the game are obviously going to have a heads-up on the rest of us as it appears we’re only going to learn pieces of Lara’s first adventure through flashbacks and the search for these artifacts (and return to the island?) rather than a straight comic adaptation of the game. For fans

Leading into next month’s over-sized 100th issue finale, Transformers: Regeneration One #99 wraps up the Jhiaxus storyline while giving us glimpses of the other looming threats. As Jhiaxus brags to the captive Autobot leader Rodimus Prime, Autobot Wreckers start dismantling the hub network. The newly reconstituted Shockwave lends a hand as well, allowing the force in control of Starscream to face Jhiaxus and end the threat once and for all.
Although we don’t learn the condition of Optimus Prime, we get a glimpse of the captured Spike. And on Cybertron we witness a still-dangerous Galvatron running amok on a world with few Autobots remaining. Thankfully Cybertron still is protected by Dinobots (setting up a possible battle between Grimlock and Galvatron to cap the series).
With plenty of action that highlights many of my favorite Transformers, and even moves the logical Shocwave to emotion in a terrific panel, there’s much here to enjoy as the comic sets up its grand finale that all started in a four-issue mini-series 30 years ago. Worth a look.
