Tomb Raider/Witchblade: Trouble Seekers

Rating:
Summary: This is Porn. That's all it is.
Review: Video game/Comic book crossover that sees Witchblade and Lara Croft shooting monsters, getting the treasure, and that's it. Tedious to read and an insult to women. A more intelligent written comic book about a female heroine is SHI by William Tucci, Buy that instead.

Summary: Eye-candy!
Review: Once in a while you get a pairing in comics that just works magic. Example, Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams introduced us to the Hard-Travelling Heroes pair of Green Lantern and Green Arrow. Here in this book, we have the pairing of the BIGGEST (no pun intended) icons of '90s video games and comic-book heroines - Tomb Raider and Witchblade - AKA Lara Croft and Sara Pezzini respectively.

The writing is really nothing to shout about. The plots are also paper-thin. This is the kind of story that makes people look down on the medium and pronounce it "comic-booky". But the artwork by Michael Turner is worth the price of admission. Top Cow puts in a lot into their comic art - especially in the top-notch coloring to complement Turner's ultra-detailed pencils.

This book contains all the Tomb Raider-Witchblade Crossovers published so far (except the Fathom issues and the recent ENDGAME storyline). It also marks the first comic-book appearance of Lara Croft/Tomb Raider before she got her own series. Get this book if you like to see gorgeous girls hanging out and kill several demons while at it.
