Bleeding Cool broke the story at the weekend, but now, with the publication of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330, the word that a) Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, is on the final page and b) we are getting a G.I. Joe / Tomb Raider crossover series in October, is now everywhere. Especially that the comic is now getting a second printing and Lara Croft is on the cover…

"Following Lara Croft's surprise, historic first appearance in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330 today, the landmark issue will be rushed back to print! Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, and video game developer Crystal Dynamics, announced a complete sellout of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330 at the distributor level, marking a blockbuster start to the first-ever Tomb Raider/G.I. JOE crossover event! G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330 will return to comic book shops on August 12, 2026, with a second printing featuring Lara Croft's first Skybound cover appearance on an all-new cover by G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero artist, Chris Mooneyham."

"Surprise! It was very difficult to keep Lara Croft's secret appearance in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero under wraps, but now that the cat is out of the bag, we can't wait to show you what's next for the Tomb Raider!" said Alex Antone, Editorial Director, Skybound. Yeah, sorry about that Alex. "This is the crossover event you never saw coming…but when it comes to Skybound comics, expect the unexpected!"

Readers who picked up G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330 in comic book shops today were treated to a surprise first appearance of Lara Croft as she infiltrated Castle Destro in search of her next deadly destination.
