New Graphic Novel Series Explores Human's Early Years On Pandora In AVATAR: ADAPT OR DIE

Dark Horse Comics has announced a new story about Pandora from James Cameron’s film Avatar. Avatar: Adapt or Die is written by Eisner and Hugo-nominated author Corinna Bechko (Lara Croft and the Frozen Omen, Invisible Republic), illustrated by Beni R. Lobel (Constantine, Voltron), colored by Wes Dzioba (Avatar: Tsu’tey’s Path, Ghost), and lettered by Michael Heisler and will follow Dr. Grace Augustine during humanity’s early years on Pandora.

Decades into the advent of the Avatar program on Pandora, pressure to bridge the divide between human and Na’vi has hit a peak. As an ally of the Omatikaya clan, Dr. Grace Augustine begins negotiations to open a school for Na’vi children, but her plans for peace, hope, and unity could trigger an unprecedented disaster—one afflicting the most vulnerable and protected of Na’vi.

The allegories to the colonization of the Americas does not sound subtle. But if you can’t get enough of Pandora, this should be an excellent story for you. Issue #1 of 6 will be out May 4 in comic shops.
