Okay, here's a pretty big continuity error from The Ten Thousand Immortals to the comics. If TTTI takes place right after the events of A Survivor is Born and is in canon, then why does Lara have no knowledge of Trinity in the second arc of the comics, Secrets and Lies? She asks who Trinity is despite the fact that she already learned a bit about them in this story from What's His Name.

In both cases she acts likes she's never heard of Trinity and further more, there are a number of Easter Eggs to the comics in Rise but next to nothing of TTTI. A picture of What's His Name appears Briefly on Lara deck and I think there's another blink and you miss it reference at the start of the game but other then that nothing.

Also the events of TTTI is never mentioned or reference in any of the comics. Sam's attempted suicide, learning that a piece of Himiko still resided inside her, the for mentioned encounter with Trinity, What's His Name none of it is brought up in the comics or Rise. Rhianna Pratchett even stated on her Twitter page that she never even read TTTI and did not write any of the comics or Rise with TTTI in mind and as far as we can tell, Crystal Dynamics has shown no interest in following up TTTI's story in either the comics or the games.

While you can get around Lara statement that "I was at Yamatai last year," these points cannot be ignored as they are kind of important yet the comics and Rise treat the events of TTTI as if it never happened or was so unimportant that it may have well have never happened. So either TTTI is canon which opens up a number of continuity errors or is now considered as discontinuity by everyone who has worked on the series.

A big factor in this could be that out of all TR tie in material TTTI brought in the least amount of money while the comics have been highly successful to the point that they are still going on.

To close this out consider the following. The 5th arc in the Tomb Raider Comics is a direct sequel to A Survivor is Born, Rise of the Tomb Raider and The Cold Light of Day from the 3d arc of the comics and is all about Lara trying to free Sam from Himiko once and for all. And unlike most reference in Rise which were all relegated to Easter Eggs, Sam being put in a mental hospital as a result of being partly possessed by Himiko was referenced in one of the audio tapes in the game which is called Sam.

Which means there was more thought and effort into making that story canon in Rise of the Tomb Raider in a way that fans would have a hard time avoiding then anything in The Ten Thousand Immortals which again only gets a few blink and you'll miss it references.
