Because of the new movie, I started looking for the comics that had been done of Tomb Raider in the past, and ran across this collection.
This book consists of five issues of the comic, basically three connected stories. The artwork is outstanding, although I had two minor quibbles about the art: too many pinups and too many styles of her sunglasses.
The action-adventure sequences, though, were outstanding, and the character relationships were actually interesting, not always true of this genre of comics.
I had one minor quibble about the writing, and that had to do with Lara's attitudes about killing "bad guys." Dan Jurgens is a little inconsistent about that, especially when he has Lara and her associate basically killing a couple of Chinese pilots for trying to stop Lara from stealing Chinese property. That didn't ring true with her later comments about not killing someone else.
The stories, though, were very good, especially the title one, which is a quite unusual quest to find Shangri-La. Of course, it was a pretty unusual take on the mystical city as well, so that fit.
Billy Tan's artwork was great, as usual.

* Shangri La story was good with twist ending
* ancient conquistador story was great for flashbacks
* Boston living dead story was abrupt and sets up next book

The Shangri-La story was actually not bad. Some good artists early on in their careers here.

This book begins with a quest to find Shangri La (which she does). Lara is not doing it for glory or honor, she is doing it for her old nanny who was hit by a truck. She wants her to live forever in full health. Lara and Chase Carver pull it off, and that ends the first adventure. The next set of adventure deal with the death of Chase Carver. They also deal with the aftermath and Chase's long lost sister. Lara realizes that she truly did love Chase all along, but now he is gone. Of course maybe he isn't... One can never tell in the world of The Tomb Raider.
