There's a lot to like and dislike about the rebooted Tomb Raider series, but it's astounding how the Dark Horse comics have basically taken everything that's great about the current series of games, ditched what didn't work, and added on more cool stuff to make their comic line one of the best video game comics out there right now.

Packed to the brim with compelling, epic stories, told by some of comics' top tier talent, the Tomb Raider comics have remained consistent throughout over a decade of publication, which is not an easy feat to pull off.

While some writers stayed on for longer, like Gail Simone for example, a lot of Lara Croft's tales in this series are incredibly strong one-shots. This is particularly great if fans are after short, self-contained stories, and tend to prefer the days where not every issue of a story was building up to some big finale.

if you love the direction the current Tomb Raider Comics have been going in since 2011, and want more between each instalment, then this Dark Horse series is a must-read.
