Avatar: The High Ground Volume 1

Product Information

The race for the antidote is underway as Jake descends into a fever dream--plunged into the horrors of a burning Home Tree, and reliving confrontations with nightmarish past enemies. Will he reconcile with the choices of his past, or fight them?"

After years of peace, Jake has settled down with Neytiri and raised a family, consisting of Neteyam, Lo'ak and Tuktirey, as well as their adoptive children Miles Socorro and Kiri. Meanwhile, Norm Spellman has become a foster father for a group of Na'vi orphans. Their shuttle must land somewhere, making the ocean the safest place. Water then begins to fill their room, leaving the family to flee outside. The group uses a beacon and Norm rescues them in a Samson.

There’s some great stuff in it,” Cameron said. “I mean, you’ve got the Na’vi fighting with bows and arrows in zero-G. I mean, I’m there! I want to see that movie. But it just didn’t achieve enough of the overall story and thematic goals that I had in mind. So we’re turning it into a Dark Horse graphic novel. You’ll be able to see that interim battle that took place between movie one and movie two.” Issue 3 [ ] Jake Sully’s fears have come crashing to Pandora, gun’s blazing. The Sky People are planet-side, and taking Hell’s Gate by storm. Jake and Neytiri’s children are still on base, surrounded and outgunned. He will have to improvise and risk it all to protect his family, his people, and their home. The battle is underway and every Na’vi is in danger. If it was any longer I would have DNF'd it. Boring and confusing. Terrible pacing. The narrative jumps around a lot. The characters' motivations are a mystery. There are a lot of characters whose role in their society, and their purpose in the story, are unexplained.

PC/Console: Avatar: The Game (2009: PC/360/PS3 · Demo · Wii/PSP · NDS) · Frontiers of Pandora (2023) And besides that, why did the Na'vi become so very human-like. Why, after 14 years being Na'vi does Jake act like he's in his first 2 months of being Na'vi.I don’t ruled out it might happen in future movies, but here, it seems so out of context. And anyways, why is Jake asking permission to the Olo'eyktan Council if all the warriors are from the Omaticaya clan? His clan? Because Avatar: The High Ground is ridiculous. It’s over the top, and even implausible at times. Not impossible - it’s reworked from an original James Cameron script, or script idea - but definitely implausible. But that doesn’t make it bad.

BECHKO: Honestly, I watched the movie a lot, and I watched it with different friends because I wanted to gauge how different people reacted to different things in the story. I watched with friends who were men, women, younger, older — I even drafted my best friend’s mom to watch it with me so I could get someone from a different generation. I also did a lot of research just looking at the types of animals on Earth to get more of an idea on ecosystems. After I did all that, I tried to forget it so that it would be in my subconscious, and then I sat down and wrote the story. Set just after the events of AVATAR, the story continues as Jake Sully finds himself ill-equipped to defuse the internal conflicts threatening to tear the Omatikaya apart. The story stays true to the movie; it is, after all, derived from an original script by James Cameron. This was originally meant to be the beginning of the next movie but instead was turned into a graphic novel prequel with high production values. Jake Sully has been defeated, and a new leader is declared. Traditions are betrayed and further the divide between members of the Omatikaya. With poison running through Jake's veins, fear and pains of the past manifest as he comes face to face with a familiar foe." As Mo'at holds an unconscious Jake in her arms, Artsut joyfully announces that she and Ateyo are the new clan leaders. Ka'ani questions the two about their son killing Jake and going against tradition, to which Ateyo lies and claims Artsut and him had nothing to do with Arvok's actions. A group of warriors pursues Arvok into the jungle and Artsut confronts Mo'at about her perceived wrongdoings, but Ka'ani intervenes. Before things become violent between him and Artsut, Jake gasps for air, proving that he is still alive and that Ateyo and Artsut's leadership is moot. Mo'at demands he be taken to the Tree of Souls to be healed, but Artsut protests, saying that if Jake bonds with the tree, the poison could spread to it and kill it. She remarks that if he was truly chosen by Eywa, to let him save himself.After years of peace, Jake Sully has settled down with Neytiri and raised a family, so for him, the stakes are even higher than when he first went to war against the corporate might of the RDA. Joining Avatar.com is Sherri L. Smith, writer of Avatar: The High Ground; Corinna Bechko, writer of Avatar: Adapt or Die, a comic prequel to the first film; and Michael Heisler, who lettered both Avatar: Adapt or Die and Avatar: The High Ground, and also served as the letterer for Avatar: Tsu’tey’s Path and Avatar: The Next Shadow.

The Exhibition (2011-14) · Toruk - The First Flight (2015-19) · The Exhibition (2016-) · 10 Year Anniversary (2019)It has beenover adecadesince the humans were forced to leave Pandora—but now they’re returning—with an armada of heavily-armed starships! There are hallmarks here of what will show up in the first movie, Way of Water: the dynamics between Spider and Kiri, the kids doing stupid things and putting themselves in danger, Neytiri's mistrust of Spider, plenty of action, the youngest child always needing to be rescued, and Cameron's trademark strong and able female characters. I imagine that Way of Water was rewritten to add in these elements once this original script was bypassed.
