Tomb Raider Omnibus Volume 1 by Gail Simone, Rhianna Pratchett

That was good!! I really want to keep reading the next ones, cuz CLIFFHANGERRRRR!!!
I have never played the video games, so I can’t speak to that, but I looooove the movies, and I felt like Lara Croft’s characterization was sooooo different in the graphic novels. At the beginning of the novels, she felt like a side character and that is not the Lara Croft I know. The movie Lara Croft was soooo confident and almost superhuman in her abilities and mindfulness. But the graphic novel Lara Croft was definitely not that. It took a while for her to be even kind of like that. By the end though, she was acting more like the main character and not some random extra.
There were like 10 million characters and I couldn’t remember them at all. Towards the end, someone comes back and I could not remember how we knew them, since they were in like the first issue. They don’t do a super great job at getting you to connect with most of the characters. But then again, there are so many time jumps that you kind of got confused about everything anyway.
The illustrations were great. I loved them.
I was overall really happy with this volume of graphic novels. I liked the plot(s) and I ended up really liking Lara Croft towards the end.
