Avatar: The High Ground is an unreleased three volume graphic novel series from Dark Horse's Avatar comic line.

The series was based on James Cameron's original screenplay for Avatar 2 before rewrites. The High Ground would serve as a direct prequel to Avatar 2.

The High Ground was initially listed on Amazon, but later removed. The first volume, Advent to War, was at the time listed with a January 23, 2020 release, with Sherri L. Smith adapting the screenplay and art by Guilherme Balbi.

Plot

It has been almost a decade since the humans were forced to leave Pandora - but now they're returning - with an armada of heavily-armed starships! After years of peace, Jake Sully has settled down with Neytiri and raised a family, so for him, the stakes are even higher than when he first went to war against the corporate might of the RDA.

Status

The first volume, Advent to War was listed on Amazon in late 2019 with a release date of January 23rd, 2020 and no announcement. Publishing metadata was released around this time as well. The item was taken down shortly afterwards without wide release. The item listing offered a little background information including that it was based on an early screenplay for Avatar 2 that was not used, and that it would be released in three volumes.

With some publishing metadata such as an ISBN remaining in place, the status of the book remains unknown. Dark Horse's next release in the franchise was Avatar: The Next Shadow on January 6th 2021, a year after the supposed release date of The High Ground.
