Tomb Raider has a strong opening half and a weak back half and that makes the issue a mixed bag for me. Sevy continues to be the strong player here with some solid layouts and some really fun pieces, such as the imagined escape across the church rooftop as well as the actual underground escape, especially the final piece showing them climbing up into the residence. The supernatural side is very meh at best for me, though I like that Lara does her research even if it's so light and superficial that you kind of just gloss over aspects of it. I'm curious to see how far this arc will go overall and what it really wants to do, but this is a series that's still on the razor wire for me. Read Full Review
