Yeah, I know I posted this piccy in Gandalf's thread,
but I figured more folks would take a looksee at it if it had it's own thread.
From Tomb Raider Comic Issue #31 - alternate cover.

Lemme see! Lemme see!
Not that I don't take you at your wourd, but I really wouldn't mind seeing
an older looking manga style Lara.
The one they used is pretty kiddie-ish.

Also of note:
On the very last page of the regular issue of #31, there is a tiny Manga Lara
at the bottom of the page.

you're telling me, I mean it's very cute, but she does look the age of a powerpuff girl.:rolleyes:

I keep trying to draw japani on and off, but haven't quite got the knack yet. :(

I think she's supposes to resemble one of those little annoying powder-and-fluff-puff girls:p

The asking price for the alternate cover isn't as high as I thought it was.
It's only $5.99 at Jim Hanley's.

They may have it at Dynamic Forces (http://www.dynamicforces.com/htmlfiles/c-Top_Cow.html).
I know they have the exclusive (not sold in stores) Mark Texiera TR book.

Heh, I got the manga cover at Hot Comics in Richfield, MN (fairly close to where I live, but not close enough to bike) for cover price last night. Now I can finally make a t-shirt out of it.
ps: Pop Mhan is awesome!

I hope you don't mean the Adam Hughes issues there when you say "crap.";)

I'm very curious to see how they reflect the actual game. I think I'll have to buy these upcomming issues. I haven't bought a TR comic, or any comic really, for about 3 months (not including the one I just got for the cover:p).

AH! will be writing issues 32, 33, and 34. It will be a story arc based on AoD.
Tony Daniels (who's work I admire from his stint on Daredevil) will be handling
the penciling chores. Sorry, no Adam art just yet,
but here's an Adam based desktop I hadn't seen before... (http://www.comicbookpros.com/images/downloads/1024_768/hughes_tombraider.jpg)
