Dark Horse Comics will launch Avatar: Tsu’tey’s Path, a companion comic miniseries to James Cameron’s 2009 sci-fi blockbuster, on January 16.

Adapted by Sherri L. Smith, the six-issue series will be drawn by Jan Duursema (Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Wolverine: Knight of Terra), inked by Dan Parsons (Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Game of Thrones), and colored by Wes Dzioba (Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Mystery Science Theater 3000). Covers will be provided by by Doug Wheatley (Star Wars: Dark Times).

Na’vi warrior Tsu’tey’s life is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of Jake Sully of the Sky People. Tsu’tey’s story was only a background piece of the Avatar film, now his tale of heroism and sacrifice will be told.

Cameron’s long-in-development sequels have repeatedly been pushed back, but as of last year, Avatar 2 is set to release in theaters on December 18, 2020 (see “'Avatar,' 'X-Men' Fox Movie Calendar Shifts” and “'Gambit,' 'Bob's Burgers,' 'Avatar 2,' 'Venom,' 'Sonic the Hedgehog'”).
