True that, however, the comics where much better written and was able to make good use out of the other main characters and also managed to flesh them out a bit more. Mind you I'm not a big fan of the ending as I've come to really love Sam and her relationship with Lara thanks to the comics. And now I'm worried that they are going to kill off Sam for drama which would make saving her like the ending of Mass Effect 3, pointless and kind of annoying.

I want Sam to get better, I want her to be the one to finally kill Himiko. I want her and Lara to get a happy ending whether its as lovers or friends.

What's even more odd is that both Ten Thousand Immortals and the Comics are both supposedly in canon, however, the events of the comics don't line up with what happens in Immortals. Immortals seems to take place right after Survivor and Sam is dealing with Himiko trying to take over her body but is saved by Lara. However, in the comics Himiko only starts to take control of Sam at the end of the series and Sam ends up in a Mental Institution and it seems that she is fight Himiko for control over her own body.

And here's where things get a little more confusing. The comics are written by the series lead writer Rhianna Pratchett, who has stated that the comics are in Canon and will tie into Rise. So where does this leave Immortals? Is that a sort of kind of sequel to the comics, Is that what will happen when we come back for the comics after the game?

Or was Immortals based on a earlier draft of Rise and that's what the story in Rise is about? After all, both stories do seem to involve Immortality and we don't really know why Lara is on this quest. Is she doing all this for Sam, to try and find a way to save her like she did in Immortals?

Why is she fighting Trinity and travailing across the world when she seems to have no personal stakes in this quest. Sure they covered up what happened in Survivor but aside from that there seems to be no reason for her to be fighting them this hard.

While Immortals isn't a very well written story it does have potential and maybe Rise will show how this story can be done right? Thoughts?
