Square
Enix and Dark Horse have announced a new 48-page
illustrated omnibus titled Tome Raider: The Beginning
as well as a new comic-book series starring Lara
Croft. The story will reflect that of a younger
and inexperienced Lara Croft in line with the
new video-game.
"TOMB
RAIDER: The Beginning follows the story of how
the crew came together for The Endurance's fateful
mission to discover the lost Japanese kingdom
of Yamatai.
"Originally
intended to feature as the latest installment
of Dr. James Whitman's successful archaeology
show, Whitman's World, the show-biz archaeologist
gets more than he bargained for when he enlists
the help of Captain Conrad Roth.
"As Roth's
unique and eccentric crew gradually come together
and share their stories and secrets, the expedition
faces unexpected threats before it's even begun."
