Over the course of several years we witness the life of Helen Grosvenor. The British digging up Egyptian artifacts and how her former childhood friends view her privileged status. Bringing a boy she has a crush on to the dig site, Helen falls unconscious and finds a man standing before her on the dunes, covered in wrappings. Later, in a mirror, Hellen sees what may be different aspects of herself. Possible past lives.
This is... disappointing. We spend so much time with Helen but she comes across as a modern, privileged teenager. It is so pedestrian and cliche. There is so little of the actual Mummy and the mythos of the various Universal Monsters versions of the Mummy here. It is just the first issue so hopefully this will improve.
six out of ten.
