Since watching Fire & Ash, Avatar has been my personality 😂 When I discovered there was a comic series that had different events in it, I knew I had to try it out. If you like the Avatar movies - I recommend these! These are nice little fillers ❤️
Oh gee, an issue of a comic where a character(s) is trained to be some kind of hunter, and shenanigans ensue. Never seen that done before.
Also, so they are gonna train this human disguised as a Na'vi to be exactly like them? Gee, where have I seen that done before? I would be surprised about them re-using that plotline for this comic, but Avatar is all about repetition, so it makes sense.
Issue #1
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It follows the story of Tsu'tey. It parallels the movie, as Jake was introduced near the end. Tsu'tey is training two young Omatikaya who are learning to become hunters.
The facial structures aren't always consistent and if it wasn't for the clothing there were a few times I wouldn't have been able to pick out Tsu'tey.
James Cameron did well with the avatar movie. This comic seems to retell the story from the viewpoint of tsu'tey the native girl. Thematically it is like when Disney told the story of Pocahontas from her viewpoint.
This is from an 11 year old fan of the movie, she liked this graphic novel a lot, but struggled with the alien language. We understand this isn’t geared towards children but she gives four stars!
reading the comics to feed the hyperfixation monster that is dead set on the world of avatar. art is gorgeous- story adds to the the world and story of the first movie. tsu’tey is an icon, a legend and one of my favorite background characters.
