A beyond-the-screen graphic novel adventure set before the events of James Cameron's award-winning film Avatar: The Way of Water!

After defending their home of Pandora and sending the Resources Development Administration packing back to Earth nearly fifteen years ago, the Na’vi returned to their peaceful lives. Former US Marine Jake Sully, now accepted as Na’vi himself in an avatar body, has started a family with Neytiri. Despite more than a decade of peace, Jake knows the RDA isn’t done with Pandora yet. And now he’s proven right as they return in force.

With the lives of his adopted people and his family at stake, Jake will need to lead the Na’vi into war once again; this time facing a formidable new enemy who always seems to be one step ahead. For Major Bukowski isn’t just a master tactician; he’s the soldier Jake would have been, had fate taken him down a different path.

Writer Ethan Sacks (Star Wars Hyperspace Stories: Codebreaker, Marvel’s Old Man Hawkeye) lends his adventurous creative touch to the world of the Na’vi alongside artist Salvatore Porcaro (Dragonero, CCTVYLLE), colorist Michael Atiyeh (Star Wars Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora–So’lek’s Journey), and letterer Michael Heisler (TexArcanum, Avatar: Adapt or Die).

Praise for Avatar: The Gap Year--Tipping Point

From writer Ethan Sacks, on working on this series:

“As a fan of James Cameron and his films ever since The Terminator terrorized my eleven-year-old imagination, working on this saga has been one of the great professional honors of my lifetime. That this story is part of the official canon that bridges the gap between Avatar and The Way of Water makes it all the more special. The result is a labor of love by everyone involved and you’ll feel that passion in every panel and on every page.”


From artist Salvatore Porcaro, on working on this series:

“For me, it’s a true honor to draw this amazing series, and I’m really excited to be part of it. It’s a story full of emotion, fascinating characters, and unexpected twists: working on it is both a stimulating challenge and a huge satisfaction. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoy illustrating it.”


Praise for other James Cameron’s Avatar Comics:

“Michael Heisler seems to be having a lot of fun with this comic’s lettering. As I said, the sound effects that he does sometimes have to do the heavy lifting in conveying what’s happening, but sometimes . . . they’re just fun.”—Gate Crashers on Avatar: The High Ground

“The artwork here is really clean and lovely. The colors of the forest are vibrant, and the few pages we spend in the human compound are juxtaposed nicely with that. The cover artwork is really gorgeous.”—Fanbase Press on Avatar: Adapt or Die #1
