Us Tomb Raider fans got to live through a great era in the Survivor trilogy. Comic books and novels tying in to three solid games is the kind of immersive cross-media canon that I’ve been waiting for. You could literally track Lara’s adventures continuously with comics and novels filling in the time between games. It was this kind of continuity that led to my creating Lara Croft’s Journal. It also helped that Square Enix sold a physical replica of her leather journal from the first game. As anyone who’s seen any of my Elder Scrolls journals can attest, I love a good journal, complete with pictures, maps, and collected bits to bring a virtual experience into reality.
This might be my best journal yet. It took years to make, but alas, it’s incomplete. The remaining entries would take months to finish, and to be honest, the lack of a manor DLC took the wind out of my sails. (Not that I complained, us fans are lucky to get anything at all after 20+ years!) Either way, it was a lot of fun to make, and if you’d like to follow my interpretation of Lara Croft’s story throughout the Survivor Trilogy, read on.
