Reboot
Main Article: Tomb Raider (Dark Horse Comics) After the original run of Tomb Raider comics by Top Cow ended in 2005, it was announced that the series would return in 2007, however it was delayed due to licensing issues.

After the 2013 reboot of the video game series, it was announced that Dark Horse would be penning a new series of comics which directly tied into the games, bridging the gaps between games.

Book Publishing
In 2001, some of the original comic strips were released together in four book collections and in 2016 to celebrate Tomb Raider's 20th anniversary, the original strips as well as Journeys and five one shot stories were put together in a four volume set called "Tomb Raider Archives."
