Avatar: The High Ground Omnibus
The graphic novel prequel to The Way of Water—adapted from an original screenplay by James Cameron—is collected in this softcover edition along with a sketchbook and introduction.
Experience a part of the epic Avatar saga that you won’t see in the films! Originally planned as the sequel to the 2009 Academy Award–winning film Avatar, James Cameron’s screenplay for The High Ground was scripted and illustrated as three original graphic novels that are now compiled here along with an introduction and a 13-page sketchbook section that includes excerpts from the screenplay and character designs.
It’s been more than a decade since Marine Jake Sully joined the Na’vi through an avatar body and became their leader in the fight against the destructive Resources Development Administration. Since forcing them to leave the moon, Pandora, Jake and his wife Neytiri have settled down and grown their family. Now, the RDA is returning, their massive fleet of ships are packed with firepower and their militaristic Security Operations have a fierce directive to take control of Pandora. Jake has everything on the line. War has returned to the Na’vi homeworld and it will take all they have to save it. Can the RDA be stopped before they make landfall?
Scripted by award–winning author Sherri L. Smith (Flygirl), and illustrated by an amazing team of artists, Guilherme Balbi ( The Original Screenplay), Diego Galindo (Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons), Gabriel Guzmán (Mass Discovery), George Quadros (New Rat City), Agustin Padilla (Suicide Hell to Pay), and Miguel Ángel Ruiz ( Badlands).

4.5 ⭐️
seeing a manuscript just before the events of the way of water come to life in graphic novel format was so cool and i am so grateful to have this story. more background on the kids is so nice to have, especially my baby tuk. speaking of the kids though, it was hard to keep the boys straight as they looked so alike and not at all like they do in the films. i loved seeing more of jake and neytiri after the war and spending time with their families. neteyam's character really shined in this one, which i obviously really appreciate. the part where they were on the starships was extremely hard to follow though, due to the fight just being several subsequent pages of comic-like action sequences. i just love avatar and these characters so much and need to go watch the movies yet again.
