Avatar: Adapt or Die

the comic was in great condition, and was amazing.

Great art,and story reading through many thanks

This complete story arc takes place many years before the events of the movie Avatar. Neytiri is a child and her parents are trying to navigate the tricky relationship with the newly arrived humans. We follow Grace (Sigourney Weaver's human scientist) as she attempts to bridge the cultures and create a situation of mutual reciprocation of knowledge.Story: Hell's Gate has just been established and a team of scientists lead by Grace Augustine are using lab grown avatars to move in the world of Pandora and interact with the Na'Vi. Grace tentative approaches the Na'Vi elders about starting a school to teach their young about the 'Sky People. ' But there is still worry, concern, and a wary caution about any interactions. Then the youth are stricken with a strange fever after a visit to the human compound. Na'Vi leader Mo'at (Neytiri's mother) must work with Grace to find out how to cure the children before it is too late.The story was interesting and flowed well. There were a few clichés, of course. And I have a hard time respecting a scientist or elder who would willfully break a quarantine and bring in infected individuals without truly knowing what they are doing with in terms of a pathogen. There is a lot of disobeying authority on both sides and the humans come off as the usual mindless and narcissistic drones who think only of themselves - while the Na'Vi fall into the 'noble savage' trope just a bit too often. I am relieved, though, that we don't have the humans saving the 'savages'.That said, it is a decent story that makes decent use of the lore built in the movie. It was good to see Sigourney Weaver's character in more of a starring role and events in this graphic novel do set up what will happen in the future with the events of the first movie. The illustration work is clean, very detailed, and well done. The Avatar world is well depicted and for a comic, there is a solid likeness for Sigourney Weaver's character. There are some panels that are very stiff and the action tends to be very narrowly focused in the drawings (I would have liked more detailed scenic pull backs). But I especially appreciated how the old and new Avatar Na'Vi were drawn. The art really is clean and easy to follow.In all, a solid story and a decent prequel to the movie. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.
