Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts 2 picks up after the events of the first entry and sends Lara Croft on a suspense-filled tour of Europe. The new story is summarized by Dark Horse as follows:

In order to keep a dangerous and familiar relic out of the wrong hands, Lara Croft must travel to Italy and meet the mysterious, masked adversary who stole it from her. But when Lara enlists the aid of her old friend Carter Bell, his own request for help will lead her on a detour—one that will plunge her into the depths of the city of Paris!

Tomb Raider enthusiasts will definitely want to check out this new story, written by author Casey Gilly and illustrated by Antonio Di Caprio. Each entry in the series is a 32-page comic and rated for ages 14+, with Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts being described as "a thrilling new adventure for Tomb Raider fans, and a perfect jumping-on point for the uninitiated."

If you're eager to see what Lara Croft is up to in anticipation of the upcoming Amazon series, or want to explore more of the universe while waiting for a brand-new mainline game to be announced, Tomb Raider: Sacred Artifacts is a highly recommended comic book series that's well worth a read.
