Gametap announces the concluding
episode of Jim Lee's Tomb Raider Re\Visioned series is live, and that the next
season in the series will focus on Activision classics:
GameTap launched
today “A Complicated Woman,” the final episode in the premiere season of its new
animation series “Re\Visioned” which features story and art from legendary comic
book illustrator Jim Lee of Wildstorm/DC Comics.
Launched in late August, the first season of “Re\Visioned” features ten episodes
focusing on the legendary Tomb Raider franchise and the adventures of popular
video game heroine Lara Croft. Academy Award-nominated actress Minnie Driver
provides her unique voice for leading lady Lara Croft, while Jim Lee, Warren
Ellis, Peter Chung, Brian Pulido, Gail Simone, Michael Stackpole, Ivan Reis,
Cully Hamner, Christos N. Gage, Louie Del Carmen, David Alvarez, and Six Point
Harness, have provided their ‘Re\Visioned’ view of the famous video game
heroine.
GameTap has also announced that the second season of “Re\Visioned” will feature
six animated episodes that spotlight games from the golden age of Activision.
For the new season that launches in December, GameTap has partnered with The
Hero Initiative to develop episodes that will feature the work of top industry
writers, including Mark Waid (Flash, Kingdom Come, Legion of Superheroes), John
Ostrander (X-Men, Punisher, Star Wars Republic) and Paul Jenkins (Spectacular
Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk, Civil War: Front Line).
The Hero Initiative is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping comic
book creators in need. “We’re thrilled that GameTap is continuing to support
comic book creators with this second season of the ‘Re\Visioned’ series,
especially since so many creators are video game fans,” said Jim McLauchlin,
President of Hero.
Episodes in Season Two will revolve around the worlds and characters featured in
Activision’s most iconic titles such as Pitfall, Kaboom and Pressure Cooker.
