Lara Croft, the infamous Tomb Raider herself, has discovered the location of an ancient treasure that’s been lost for decades. The problem? Destro and The Baroness have got to its location, Cobra Island, first, and they have a formidable military force with them. So Lara contacts her old buddy Shipwreck, and soon multiple GI Joe teams are taking on a mission to reach the powerful treasure first, alongside Croft.

This is such a genuinely entertaining and well-produced comic; Kyle Higgins nails the fun, action-packed and often very over-the-top tone of both GI Joe and Tomb Raider, while artist Elena Casagrande illustrates beautifully.

Lara fits in with the Joes seamlessly, and gets some great action sequences in this opening issue.

There’s a real high adventure, action movie feel to proceedings here, and it’s perfectly done. Though I was very much on the fence about whether or not to even check out this crossover (the logistics of which are nicely, subtly handled without fuss), I’m very glad I did. This opening issue is superb, and I look forward to seeing how things progress in the next issue.
