Dark Horse Comics is taking sci-fi fans back to Pandora is a brand new comic based on AVATAR, the number one movie of all time.
At New York Comic Con 2015, Dark Horse Comics with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment announced that AVATAR, will expand into the world of comic books in anticipation of the three upcoming film sequels.
In a special prerecorded message, James Cameron revealed that the new series of comics will help shed more light on the mythology and history of the beloved film franchise. Continue reading AVATAR Comics From DARK HORSE

Fans are speculating Black Widow or Captain Marvel could be the first female hero to star in a solo Marvel movie but has Gamora blasted to the front of the line?
Black Widow has the Avengers fan base and after the success of Lucy, Scarlett Johansson has even more box-office power. I definitely want a Black Widow solo movie or a Natasha/Bucky team-up movie.
The Carol Corps can’t be denied. I hope to see fan favorite Carol Danvers soar as Captain Marvel in Avengers 3 and beyond.
New Avengers #25 is nothing like I expected and I loved it. It’s one of the most beautifully drawn stories that really made me feel awe inspired. Mike Deodato, Will Conrad and Rain Beredo’s art is lyrical at perfect moments and the Phoenix images are majestic.
This is not your typical superhero story in fact there are no super heroes in it. Brian Michael Bendis unveils a folk legend come to life. Centuries in the past the ruler of Kun Lun dreams of the Phoenix and a red-haired girl rising to fight the destroyer with a dragon avatar. As the force moves to Earth, the hidden Phoenix connection to Kun Lun will draw Avenger Iron Fist into the cosmic conflict.
I’m intrigued to see where Bendis will take this AvX side story and I’m eager to see the Danny Rand and Hope Summers relationship evolve. I could marvel at the art for hours like I was in a gallery. Deodato, Conrad and Beredo created a masterpiece.
Sigourney Weaver is the reigning Queen of Science Fiction with the 4 Alien films, 2 Ghostbusters movies, and Avatar. I personally love her non-genre performances in The Year of Living Dangerously, Death and the Maiden and Gorillas in the Mist. The woman still has many great roles ahead but deserves an honorary Oscar just for this body of work. Back to why I’m posting…

With Prometheus being a prequel to Alien, what does the woman who played Ellen Ripley have to say about Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction, the story of Prometheus and working with the director on Alien. Here’s what Weaver told Movieweb.
“Fox and I disagreed on how the franchise should continue. But I’m glad it’s Ridley Scott doing it, and I’ll be as curious as anyone, or maybe more curious, to see it. I think he took my suggestion. Fox wanted to go to earth and I said: ‘That’s so boring. Who wants to see aliens on earth?’ I said ‘go back to the planet’.”
“We worked very hard together, and I certainly credit him in making Ripley an everyman character, not just a damsel in distress, but a character who is not giving up. James Cameron was also a breath of fresh air. He is a champion of strong women who never thinks in terms of gender characteristics.”
Sigourney Weaver will appear in Avatar 2. For more of Weaver’s interview here’s the Movieweb link.
