Rhianna Pratchett, writer of the 2013 Tomb Raider video game, begins a new arc!
Lara's quiet life working at the British Museum is shattered as she finds herself drawn into a dangerous game with her friend's life at stake-a friend who was thought to be already dead!
While there are a few changes to the book going on here, it is by and large a solid continuation of the overall style and approach that we've had since the start, but also accessible for the most part to new readers. Pratchett keeps the crew moving along here by giving us a taste of all their lives and then bringing it all together so we can move forward with a rescue. There's a good sense of progress and movement throughout the book with the artwork and panel layout that works really well and the book as a whole is smooth and engaging, not making you feel like things come out of left field – even when we get the reveal. While I didn't have any doubts that the book would be fun after Gail Simone left, it's definitely good to see it in reality and enjoy where it's going to go next. Read Full Review
Tomb Raider #13 was a decent start to the new story arc and it seems as if the Watchers will be a much more entertaining group than Trinity. I'm not entirely sold on another shady organization threatening Lara and her friends in some manner, and not just in terms of feeling redundant but another underdeveloped boogeyman as well. Lara in action at the start of this issue gave me hope that she'll get back to her roots as an adventurer. And considering the ultimatum the Watchers gave them, and the decision made at the end of this issue, I have hope that we'll see more of that during this story arc. Read Full Review
Tomb Raider #13 is an engaging read that knows its audience well enough to make it's in-between narrative status function. And that right there deserves some recognition and even praise as this comes recommended. Read Full Review
