Silvestri is back, and his art has never looked better, which would be bigger news if this wasn’t a comic book and you weren’t expected to actually read it. A What’s Happened So Far section on the inner front cover is helpful, to a point, at explaining what’s going on in this Tomb Raider/Witchblade crossover, but the reader is immediately deposited in an alien, far-flung future where everyone looks as if they’ve escaped from a high-fashion Euro-bondage SF series.

Instead of conversation, these instant action figures engage in plenty of petty bickering and lots of shouting, some of it maniacal, with posturing taking the place of characterization. Eventually, they get thrown into the distant past (our present), meet Tomb Raider and Witchblade, and engage in lots of fighting.

One character (the blonde from the ads with the hyper-pneumatic lift and separate jumpsuit) grows a battle suit that naturally gives enemies easy access to her breasts. The cover, the numbering, the nonevent, its late shipping: if I didn’t know any better, I’d think I was reading a Continuity comic book from circa 1993.
