Ahead of the highest grossing film of all time's sequels, James Cameron and Dark Horse Comics have announced a comic book series based on the Avatar movies.

"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," Cameron said of the new series. "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 in an unprecedented ten-year partnership that's going to create new stories that will take you deeper into the world of Avatar."

The announcement came during a panel at New York Comic Con. The Avatar director wasn't able to make it to the northeast's biggest comic gathering, so Cameron sent a video message to make the announcement.

There are three Avatar sequels in development and now you can head back to Pandora on the pages! Are you excited?
