According toLA Times over 100 Imax 3D theaters will be screening 16 minutes from James Cameron's new alien epic. There will be two screenings on Friday the 21st of August, at 6 and 6:30 PM.

And if you were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the alien woodland people swinging from the trees at Comic Con, you still don't want to miss this preview as there will be new footage screened on that Friday.

Tickets will be available at the Avatar Movie site at 12:00 PM PST in a first come first serve basis, so ready your clicking fingers.

The full film itself won't be released until Dec. 18.

Previewing today's release of the first issue from Marvel's much-hyped, star-spangled, series, the publisher yesterday released an eight-page, online-only prelude issue by Reborn writer Ed Brubaker and artist Luke Ross that offers more hints at just what is going on behind the scenes of the Captain America title, as well as tying events into Marvel's larger Dark Reign storyline. What role does the daughter of the Red Skull have in the resurrection of Steve Rogers? And have they thought what the acronym HAMMER actually stands for yet? Clues are dropped and teases are laid, and all for free. What more could you ask for?

Ahead of tomorrow's Free Comic Book Day, iVerse have just released a free Comic Shop Locator for iPhone application (which connects to the much-referenced Comic Shop Locator database), allowing you to find the closest store to your current location at the touch of a screen. The app is free, and available from the iTunes store now.

• Y: The Last Man: Every male on Earth, human or otherwise, has died from mysterious causes... except for Yorick Brown and his monkey. This all happens in the first issue, and the entire series is about how the remaining women deal with a planet devoid of men. The series will wrap up this year, so if you haven't checked it out, try out issue #1 and you'll have plenty of time to catch up.
• NYC2123: Set in 2123 in a Manhattan that was devastated by a tsunami 70 years ago, the post-apocalyptic survivors struggle to continue living. This comic was originally conceived for Sony's PlayStation Portable and distributed under a Creative Commons license, although you can now read it online and check out the fantastically stark artwork.
• The War of the Worlds: Dark Horse Comics has the entire graphic novel adaptation of this scifi classic online, and it looks pretty vibrant even on a laptop screen. The art looks similar to Kevin O'Neil's in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and the Victorian-era story is a favorite of Moore's, so you'll only feel two steps slightly removed from one of his works.
• Doom Patrol: Grant Morrison's take on this superteam from DC Comics past went well beyond the envelope and into the realm of the bizarre. He had god-like supervillains, heroes who could only use their powers when asleep, and of course, Robotman... the lone holdout from the 1960s who has appeared in every version of Doom Patrol. This is some vintage Morrison at his best and most wacky.
• DMZ: This comic book about a civil war raging in the United States in the near future follows a journalist who has become trapped behind the Free States and the United States in the demilitarized zone that is Manhattan. It's not just a comic book, but it's also a harsh political statement about our current government practices.
• Swamp Thing: This title was fading fast and heading into obscurity when DC agreed to let relatively unknown scribe Alan Moore have a crack at it. He rewrote the origin of the character, so he no longer came from chemical origins but was instead a plant elemental. However, we'll forgive him that transgression, since he brought back The Floronic Man, who was bonded to plants through chemicals.
• Chaos PhD: This tribute to the silver age of comic books features very well-drawn art, tongue in cheek humor, and of course supervillains and capes. Plus, a well done web interface that makes it easy to read.
• 1984: George Orwell's classic novel about the future as a free webcomic? Big Brother would not be pleased. Particularly with those other websites you've been visiting on your filthy little computer.
