Last year, the Tomb Raider universe was given the reboot treatment with Tomb Raider, a new video game which retells the origin story of adventurer Lara Croft and resets the franchise’s continuity. With the new video game comes a comic book series tie-in from Dark Horse Comics that picks up Croft’s story after the harrowing events that took place in the video game.

The comic book series was launched last month with Tomb Raider #1, which shows us the 21-year-old Lara Croft, the young adventurer who is one of the few survivors of the doomed ship Endurance. Croft and the crew had been on a quest to find the lost kingdom of Yamatai when the ship was hit by a storm and its passengers were marooned on an island. Now that she’s home, the young Lara can’t recall all of what happened to her on the island, but each night’s sleep bring nightmares that remind her of the painful experiences. She’s racked with guilt because it seems as though it was her decisions on the expedition that caused the most damage.

Dark Horse Comics has released a 7-page preview of Tomb Raider #1, the start of the publisher’s new comic book series, which will pick up Lara Croft’s story where the Tomb Raider game left off.

Here below you can check out the 7-page preview and official solicitation for the issue, which is currently available for pre-order with a release date of February 26, 2014.

Gail Simone is the writer for the new ongoing Tomb Raider series, with pencils by Nicolás Daniel Selma, inks by Juan Gedeon, and and colors by Michael Atiyeh with cover art by Dan Dos Santos.
