The third and final colossal collection of Tomb Raider comics!
Every hero's journey has a beginning. Before Lara Croft was a raider of tombs, she was a survivor.
Discover the events that led up to Lara and her friends' fateful trip to the lost kingdom of Yamatai in
Tomb Raider: The Beginning, the prequel to 2013's
Tomb Raider. With
Tomb Raider #1-#18, we learn what happened after the escape from Yamatai and how Lara ended up on her quest for the legendary city of Kitezh in 2015's
Rise of the Tomb Raider. Follow Lara and her fellow survivors as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives, but find that things will never be the same, as mysterious and sinister forces attempt to finish the job that Yamatai began. After her exploits in
Rise of the Tomb Raider, adventures and peril only ramp up and revelations come fast and furious. In
Tomb Raider (vol. 2) #1-#12,
Survivor's Crusade, and
Inferno, Lara finds herself fighting a cult of immortality, discovers a shocking truth about her father, and takes the fight to the constant thorn in her side, the Order of Trinity--all of which lead into Lara's third and final adventure in the
Survivor trilogy, 2018's
Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
As a bonus, this collection also features
Lara Croft and the Frozen Omen--a high-spirited adventure starring Lara Croft and Carter Bell that is a companion to the
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris games!
