 I saw Avatar when it was first released last year. I loved the movie. Yes, I know that it has a very unoriginal plot (Dances with Wolves, Pocahontas and The Last Samurai) but there was something about it that I enjoyed. One of the things that surprised me was that I did enjoy the indigenous population beating the high tech invaders. I hated the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi. Maybe it was because 8 foot blue chicks are hot.

 When I first saw a photo of this new Nerf blaster I thought to myself, “I have to have that gun!” Well to paraphrase Mr. Spock from the episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, “Amok Time”, I can honestly say that, “Having isn’t always as good of a thing as wanting.” This is very true.

 Open DOORWAYS with George R.R. Martin
All-new comic series from award winning fantasy author coming in November
San Diego, CA (August 27, 2010) – Acclaimed novelist and Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of The Song of Ice and Fire series, George R.R. Martin, has teamed up with IDW Publishing, to release an all-new miniseries, entitled DOORWAYS. Based on his pilot script for a television series that never was, DOORWAYS offers Martin’s science-fiction genius in an initial four-issue series. Martin and artist Stefano Martino bring this reality-bending tale to life starting in November.
“DOORWAYS was the great ‘what if’ of my career, the television pilot that was right on the edge of being greenlit to series… but in the end was not. I spent a year and a half of my life with Tom and Cat, writing about them, thinking about them, making plans for their adventures. It broke my heart when it all came to naught,” said Martin. “But now, at last, thanks to IDW and the talent of Stefano Martino, the world will get to share some of those adventures. And even better, the comics format will allow us to do things with the story and the visuals that we would never have been able to do on television! I couldn’t be more excited.”

 In the future, North America is controlled by a nation called Panem. Divided into 14 ‘districts,’ one of which is the Capital, the remaining thirteen districts are effectively ghettos that survive only by the Capital’s whims. Due to a rebellion in the past, one of the districts was nuked into oblivion, and the remaining twelve are required to send a pair of randomly chosen ‘tributes’ to participate in an annual televised death match.
In the incredibly poor District 12, Katniss Everdeen supports her family by poaching, an act that defies the law and her station in life. But if she wins the Hunger Games, Katniss will become famous and her District rewarded with food. The Games are strenuous – mentally, physically, and psychologically – and not to mention stacked in the favor of the richer Districts (whose tributes are often much better fed and illegally trained for the task). Will Katniss survive the Games? And, even if she succeeds, will she be able to return to her life back in District 12?
