Dark Horse Explores the New Tomb Raider
Lara Croft returned to the forefront of the gaming industry earlier this year with the release of Square-Enix’s Tomb Raider reboot. The game offered a new take on Lara’s formative years, presenting a more realistic and inexperienced take on the gaming icon. The only question now is how long gamers have to wait for a sequel.
While SDCC held no direct news on that front, at least fans will soon have another outlet to turn to for adventures set within this rebooted universe. Dark Horse will be publishing an ongoing Tomb Raider series starting next year. The big news is the writer they’ve chosen to flesh out Ms. Croft – Gail Simone. Simone is famous for her critically acclaimed runs on Wonder Woman and Birds of Prey and her current Batgirl series. She also recently took charge of another popular female adventurer with Dynamite’s relaunched Red Sonja comic.
