James Cameron, the director and creator of many memorable films like "Titanic," "The Terminator" and the "Alien" franchise, has just announced a comic book series that will tie-in to the story of his latest masterpiece, "Avatar."

During his video appearance at the recent New York Comic-Con, Cameron revealed that a new comic book series is now being made in partnership with comic book publisher Dark Horse. The narrative of this story will center on the events that happened before the first "Avatar" movie in Pandora, as well as during the landing of humans on the primitive planet and the aftermath. 

"I'm excited that starting now, even before the release of the first sequel, Dark Horse Comics will be bringing you new adventures from Pandora covering the time before, during, and after the events of the original 'Avatar' film," James Cameron said, as quoted by Screenrant. 

The film director then added, "For the past 27 years, Dark Horse has been associated with my films 'The Terminator,' 'Aliens,' and 'The Abyss.' Now they're working directly with me and our team at Lightstorm [Entertainment] in an unprecedented 10-year partnership that's going to create new stories that will take you deeper into the world of Avatar." 

This comic book series, according to speculation from Screenrant, will most likely act as a bridge that will connect the storyline of the first movie to "Avatar 2." Furthermore, the "Avatar" comic series will likely explore deeper into the planet Pandora and the Na'Vi. 

However, these are just speculations for now and James Cameron still hasn't revealed the full details of the comic book series.
