Jake wusste, dass dieser Tag kommen würde und hat seine Krieger für einen Plan trainiert, der den Menschen einen schweren Schlag zufügen wird – wenn er funktioniert! Mit seinem bahnbrechenden Science-Fiction-Blockbuster Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora revolutionierte Regisseur James Cameron 2009 das Kino, zudem schuf er einen der erfolgreichsten Filme aller Zeiten. Ende 2022 folgt nun endlich die Fortsetzung Avatar: Der Weg des Wassers. Die neue, dreibändige Comic-Serie AVATAR: DAS BLUT VON PANDORA fungiert nicht nur als Prequel zum Film. Zugleich beruhen die Comics auf Camerons ursprünglichem Drehbuch für das Sequel, das sich im Laufe der Jahre massiv verändert hat.
