Pre-Teen Raider cartoon not so creepy after all
When we first heard of the premise behind GameTap's latest Re/Visioned cartoon, "Pre-Teen Raider," we thought we'd be asked to "have a seat" by Dateline corespondents just for watching. Lara Croft's pre-teen adventure was released over at GameTap today and despite the terrible wording, it's actually quite clean and clever to boot.
The five minute short is the brainchild of comic book writer Gail Simone, best known for her work on Birds of Prey, as well as a highly anticipated run with Wonder Woman. Sir Chris of Kohler over at Wired's Game|Life has an interview with Simone where she talks about the challenge of taking a video game sex symbol and telling a story of her when she has yet to hit puberty. You know, all that stuff folks were concerned about.
