    14 Creating Lara Croft The meaning of the comic books for the Tomb Raider franchise Josefa Much Since the creation of Lara Croft in 1996, it seems impossible to imagine the game industry without her. Her pop-cultural impact certainly affected the gaming industry, but the expansion of her character into a whole franchise has also immortalized her through action figures, cosplay, music videos, and appearances in many other media. If you take a closer look at the franchise, you will find a number of different videogames for different gaming platforms as well as three action films, six novels, and many comic books. Shortly after the release of the very firstTomb Raider game in 1996, the comic book pub- lisher Top Cow released a crossover with their own heroine Sara Pezzini aka Witchblade and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider/ Witchblade (Turner 1997, 1998). The Witchblade comic books were one of Top Cow’s most prominent series. As a result, something very interesting happened: Lara Croft was introduced into a new universe beyond her own games, and thus into a new storyworld. She became part of the Top Cow universe as both franchises collided. Two years later, the Tomb Raider received her own stand- alone comic book series. It not only focused on her adventures, but also on her personal thoughts and approach, introducing different characters and friends of hers. Later on, this would be used to create new crossovers with different Top Cow characters (e.g., Dark Crossing [Holland and Turner 2000a, 2000b]; Endgame [Rieber and Green 2003a, 2003b, 2003c; Silvestri and Tan 2003; Turner 2002c]; the Magdalena crossover [Bonny and Basaldua 2004a, 2004b, 2004c]; the Fathom/ Witchblade/ Tomb Raider crossover [Turner 2000, 2002a, 2002b]).

  • 1 Skydance Television to Develop Faster Than Light Based on Best-Selling Augmented Reality Comic Book Series Santa Monica, CA, A
    Skydance Television to Develop Faster Than Light Based on Best-Selling Augmented Reality Comic Book Series Santa Monica, CA, April 8, 2016 – Skydance Television today announced that it will develop Faster Than Light, the best-selling augmented reality comic series that tells the story of humanity’s first thrilling and terrifying adventures to the stars, set in the present day. The story is by Brian Haberlin and artwork is by Haberlin and Geirrod Vandyke. In the very near future, we discover the secret of faster-than-light travel. Suddenly the universe is wide open to us, but are we ready for it? Each issue of Faster Than Light features Anomaly’s cutting-edge augmented reality app, which allows readers to turn the pages of their comic book into realistic 3D animations. It is published by Image Comics, Shadowline and received two Unity Vision Award nominations for best Augmented Reality. Volumes #6 and #7 will be released on May 11, 2016 and June 8, 2016, respectively. “The exhilarating sci-fi universe that Brian Haberlin has created in Faster Than Light features a living, breathing narrative that we believe is very well suited for television audiences and is precisely the kind of big, bold story we love to tell at Skydance,” said Marcy Ross, President of Skydance Television. “I’m incredibly excited to be working with a creative group as innovative and imaginative as the team at Skydance Television,” added Haberlin. “They have already done such great things and I know they’ve only just begun to scratch the surface ... I can’t wait to dive in with them on Faster Than Light!” Brian Haberlin is a comic book artist, writer, editor and producer.
