Tomb Raider: Journeys #3

Lara Croft presses herself into a narrow rock crevice on this moody Adam Hughes cover, her expression tense as a massive torch-bearing figure looms ominously in the shadows above her — a snapshot of danger and high-stakes exploration that sums up the Journeys series perfectly. Top Cow's 2002 miniseries brought Fiona Kai Avery's writing and Drew Johnson's interior art to bear on the world's most famous adventurer, and issue #3 keeps the tension running high.
