New Releases by Corinna Bechko

Five stories set in James Cameron’s expansive world that take place before, during, and after the 2009 multiple Academy Award–winning film Avatar. In the year 2154, on the moon Pandora, in a galaxy far from earth, Marine Jake Sully joined the native Na’vi through an avatar body and became their leader in the fight against the destructive RDA organization and human colonization. In Tsu’tey’s Path experience these events—events of the first Avatar movie—from the perspective of Na’vi Omatikaya warrior Tsu’tey! Then, in the short story “Brothers,” Jake connects with the flying Toruk by remembering the depth of his bond with his twin brother and great partnerships of history and legend. In The Next Shadow, set immediately after the events of Avatar, Jake navigates his position as both leader of the Omatikaya and former Marine as tensions ramp up between the Na’vi and the humans who remain on Pandora. Meanwhile, in Frontiers of Pandora: So’lek’s Journey, young Na’vi warrior, So’lek, finds himself one of the last survivors of his clan after the Battle of the Hallelujah Mountains. He searches for his place on Pandora and struggles with waking nightmares of war. This is the origin story of So’lek, a key character in Ubisoft’s AA PC/console video game. Finally, set years before the events of Avatar, in Adapt or Die, Dr. Grace Augustine wants to build a bridge between the occupying humans and the Na’vi, but her plans hit a wall as a mysterious illness among Na’vi and avatars is blamed on the humans. Seize the opportunity to delve further into the world of Avatar with these canon stories from writers Sherri L. Smith (Pearl: A Graphic Novel), Jeremy Barlow (Star Wars: Darth Maul), Ray Fawkes (Constantine), and Corinna Bechko (The Space Between), and artists Jan Duursema (Star Wars: Legacy), Doug Wheatley (Fire & Blood: 300 Years Before A Game of Thrones), Josh Hood (Star Trek: Resurgence), Gabriel Guzmán (StarCraft: Scavengers), and Beni R. Lobel (Fragmentation).

On board the interplanetary ark Dodona, life is strictly regimented and controlled, functioning according to the edicts put in place hundreds of years ago. But when a pilot named Revla falls through the vents and out of her privileged life landing deep within the belly of the ship’s inner workings, she meets an algae tank worker named Les, and everything about their society is called into question. In this multi-generational science fiction epic, each chapter tells a new story of love and rebellion at a pivotal moment in the history of humanity’s greatest adventure. Across the centuries, different factions rise and fall, political movements gain and lose power, and society changes both for the better and the worse, all within the microcosm of the spaceship Dodona. The only constants: hope for the future and the persistence of the human heart. Hugo and Eisner-nominated writer Corinna Bechko (Star Wars Legacy, The Expanse) and artist Danny Luckert (The Red Mother, Haunted) explore love throughout time and across space along the Dodona’s long journey home.

RIUSCIRÀ LA DOTTORESSA GRACE AUGUSTINE A SALVARE I NA’VI E LA RELAZIONE CHE QUESTI HANNO CON GLI UOMINI? Sono passati anni da quando gli umani sono sbarcati per la prima volta su Pandora, ma le relazioni con gli abitanti del posto, i Na’vi, sono ancora poche e molto fragili. La dottoressa Grace Augustine sta cercando di rafforzarle ma i suoi piani di pace, speranza e unità sono messi a dura prova da un improvviso evento che rischia di lasciare dietro di sé un grosso numero di cadaveri! Una storia originale ambientata nel mondo di Avatar e che mostra eventi mai visti prima e antecedenti al primo film di questa incredibile saga scritta e diretta da James Cameron!

The final issue of Corinna Bechko and Danny Luckert's poignant and profound saga concludes another 200 years further into the journey. Awe-inspiring advances in science and medicine have created a virtual utopia on the ship, and as the odyssey nears its conclusion, conflicts arise as many aboard are swayed into believing that humanity’s future should stay with the Dodona, despite supplies running low. There will be only one chance to make planetfall however, as the ship hurtles towards an irrevocable final decision that will determine the fate of all mankind.

10 years after Bee and Pari’s story began, The Dodona is in trouble, potentially even drifting off course! Even minor miscalculations can spell disaster. Peace is hard to come by when under such pressure, and it will take everyone working together–putting aside the notion of winners and losers, to build an ideal society moving forward, if the ship is moving forward at all...

A revolution and 60 years passing have drastically changed the Dodona, giving way to leisure time and peace unlike anything the inhabitants have experienced. But all is not well, as automation and underemployment create the conditions for a populist figure to sway many, including an algae tank worker named Pari. With Les and Revla’s granddaughter Bee standing against the movement along with countless others, an all-out war is far from unlikely...
