There isn’t a man, woman, or child walking this earth who hasn’t heard of Indiana Jones, the greatest adventurer of all time. Now with Dark Horse Comics’ “Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods”, it’s time to re-live the Indy magic. 

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, Dr. Henry Jones Jr. may be the world’s preeminent archeologist, but that doesn’t mean he’s spent his life in the library! Ready and able to do whatever it takes to preserve the final remnants of history’s most significant happenings; he’ll go head-to-head against Hitler’s elite who want nothing more than to exploit objects of ancient power in pursuit of world dominance! Be there for the beginning of this roller coaster thrill ride of non-stop excitement as Indiana Jones dons his hat, packs his whip, and undertakes an endeavor more awesome than anything ever! Indiana Jones sets out on an all-new adventure that will take him around the globe! Indiana Jones? In 1931, archaeologists Henrik Mellberg, Francis Beresford-Hope, and Marwell O’Brien discover the Key to the Tomb of the Gods in Norilsk and divide it between them. Five years later, the Ahnenerbe, led by Friedrich Von Hassell, have captured O’Brien’s piece. Mellberg sends a letter to Indiana Jones to come to his Manhattan apartment to help, but the Nazis are there and interrogate him. A maid interrupts, causing Indiana to escape with Mellberg through a secret passage. Mellberg is fatally shot and gives his part of the key to Indiana, only to be forced at gunpoint by the maid, who is actually treasure hunter Janice Le Roi, to give it to her. Indiana and Marcus Brody fly to Lhasa to track down Beresford-Hope, who took refuge in the mountains and died. While inspecting the cave he lived in, Beresford-Hope’s son Alex, who protects his father’s secret, throws dynamite at Indiana and Brody because he fears they are Nazis.

Next in issue #2, Indiana Jones continues to uncover clues that point to a discovery unlike any other while his enemies attempt to silence him forever in part two of Indiana Jones and the Tomb of the Gods! For Dr. Henry Jones Jr., impossible odds and death-defying escapes are all in a day’s work, but when rumors of an ancient artifact of unthinkable power prove to be more than simply legend, Hitler’s legions of evil redouble their efforts to destroy the do-good Professor Jones before he foils their ambitions for global domination once again! Hitch a ride with the world’s greatest archeologist for a journey of maximum excitement! The archaeologists survive and clear-up the misunderstanding, and all three flee on Jock Lindsey’s plane when bandits attack. Alex gives them his father’s piece, which contains a map pointing to the Tomb’s location in Siberia. Brody gives Indiana dynamite, telling him whatever is contained in the Tomb must be destroyed. Indiana disagrees and is just as eager as the Nazis to discover the Tomb. He and Alex take a ship from Shanghai to travel to Siberia. While stopping in Japan, he is confronted by Von Hassell and Le Roi, who is now in the Nazis’ pay. After taking the final piece of the Key, Von Hassell betrays Le Roi and cuts her arm, placing her and Indiana in a boat with no oars. Von Hassell shoots the boat, and pushes it out to water, where Le Roi’s blood will attract sharks.

Next in issue #3, Breakneck adventure doesn’t let you stop for breath in this continuation of Indiana Jones’s search for ancient artifacts and treasures! Once again, archaeologist and self-stated preserver of history Dr. Henry Jones Jr. is on the trail of something colossal. With exotic locations, natural disasters, wild animals, ever-pesky Nazis, and a beautiful fortune hunter, Indy’s quest for the Tomb of the Gods could be his most amazing and historically disturbing escapade ever! This way for a touch of history and a lot of gripping adventure-Indiana Jones is not your average archaeologist! Indiana escapes by removing his and Le Roi’s shirts and lighting them, creating a signal that leads Brody and a whaling ship to rescue them. Indiana, Le Roi, and Brody sail on the ship to Siberia, using the respective copies Indiana and Le Roi made of their portions of the map on the key. There, they engage with Von Hassell’s team in a sledge chase, when all of the characters fall into a chasm opened by a crack of lightning.

Finally in issue #4, As the world’s premier archaeologist and adventurer, Indiana Jones will go to incredible lengths to uncover the hidden mysteries of the past, but has his quest for knowledge finally gone too far? It’s a race against the Nazis with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Follow Indy as he uses his wits, whip, and fists to keep a devastating discovery out of the hands of the evil Nazi scientist Dr. Friedrich Von Hassell! Hold on tight as this world-spanning romp makes its way to the treacherous tip of the globe-the North Pole! Get ready for the explosive conclusion to Indy’s greatest adventure as we finally find the answer to the question: What horror lies in wait in the depths of the Tomb of the Gods? Indiana survives the fall, and is met by Le Roi, who leads him to a cavern. There, Von Hassell has discovered the door to the Tomb, and pressures Alex to open it, but he refuses. Von Hassell then kills him, and tells Brody to open the door, but suddenly three of Von Hassell’s men are possessed, and kill almost everyone with their machine guns. Indiana defeats the men and rescues Brody, and with a horrifying sound, Von Hassell opens the door himself, to reveal a bottomless pit. Indiana then realizes that Brody was right and shoves Von Hassell into the pit with the dynamite. The explosion destroys the Tomb, and Indiana escapes, along with Brody and Le Roi.
