Story: After a brief flashback with Lara and Emma climbing the Himalayas, we are back in the present on Cobra Island with the Joes (Lara, Shipwreck, Outback, Stalker, Helix and Recondo as they approach the freighter. Destro and the Baroness are able to figure out what the Joes are looking for and prepare to search the freighter while a team of Iron Grenadiers heads to engage the Joes. The team is pinned down until help arrives from the air drop team (Hit & Run, Snake-Eyes and Alpine). After taking out the Grenadiers, Lara finds a hidden passageway in the rocks and her and Shipwreck head in.
Writing: a nice second issue, with some good action, plot and suspense to go with it. We learn a bit more of Lara’s background and why she’s on her mission. It’s also nice to see a well balanced field team that makes mostly sense with some characters who don’t get a lot of time in the series, like Hit & Run (Light Infantryman) and Alpine (Mountain Trooper). One thing that does start to get annoying is using variations of "Tomb Raider" throughout the comic.
Art: The colors look good a the art is acceptable. The biggest downside are the faces. Seems to not be the artist's strong suit.
Overall: While the art maybe not the best, the story keeps moving along.
