Skybound, Image Comics, Hasbro, and Crystal Dynamics have revealed the first-ever crossover event between two of the most beloved action franchises ever, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero and Tomb Raider, culminating in a 5-issue miniseries debuting this fall!
Readers who picked up G.I.

This marks the first time EVER that the worlds of G.I. Joe and Tomb Raider have ever met in comic book history.
Then, in October, Lara Croft’s search for the Arbco Star goes to the next level with G.I.

KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE. RAIDING IS THE OTHER HALF!
Lara Croft has explored some of the most dangerous locations on Earth, but nothing quite like Cobra Island. For this adventure, she’ll need the help of her old acquaintance, Shipwreck, and several squads of Joes to mount a dangerous expedition into the heart of the island to recover a treasure that’s been hidden there for decades. One that Destro and Baroness will do anything to get their hands on first…
