Yeah it is kind cute after a second look.

The problem with the comics is that none of it really seems to matter. We already know Jonah is in Shadow so his exit is is completely superficial.

Hell, I liked the stuff in the first two Arcs regarding Alex, because there was some mystery to it. How did Lara get his watch? Was Alex really a ghost? Is he possibly still alive? Did Kaz go to him after the end of the Queen of Serpents Arc? Shadow could answer that, and make use of that foundation, and I do think it could be a good way to expand on Lara's team. Alex and Kaz as Lara's tech support, or say for instance Lara discovers that Alex is still alive and has been fighting Trinity behind the scences and when he eventually has a plan, he reaches out to help Lara. (Actually working on a story like this)

But I digress. Sam has definitely suffered a great deal and I'd like to see her get a better resolution, but I really don't want her as a co-op partner like so many people are demanding. Not that I don't think co-op can't work in Tomb Raider, Endurance Mode co-op and both spin offs are fun as hell. I just think that for what is her becomin what we know she's supposed to be,  Lara should reman solitary, at least when she's doing shit. Sam probably will have some kind of mention in Shadow, Lara could arrive home to Croft Manor and Sam's just sitting on the couch waitin for her. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure Lara's doing Shadow's quest for herself. Like I said, the comics don't seem to matter much in the grand scheme of things, but the end of Rise pretty much states that Lara knows she cannot save her father and is instead doing it for herself. The problem is I really don't like the idea of Lara being actively looking for a fight. In all adventre media it always starts as a quest for knowledge, cash or whatever and then enemies follow suit and they have to fight. That's why I refuse to see the movie. Instead of Lara being a victim of a tragedy which changes her life, she seems to actively go out of her way to go into a situation which she knows is at best suicidally dangerous. Everything else I've heard about the movies also infuriates me, so as such I'm refusing to see it.

Also, I'm pretty sure you don't need to worry about Kennard Montez being Lara's squeeze, because if The Thousand Immortals is canon (duespite it's numeros continuity errors) he shot her. And he's possibly the book theif from Rise so that also means he's beat the crap out of her. I highly doubt Lara's into beng with a guy who tried to murder her (twice)
