I really like smoke and shadow and this kinda fell short

Immediately following the Avatar's adventures chronicled in The Promise, this remarkable omnibus that collects parts 1-3 of The Search, from Airbender creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko! For years, fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra have burned with one question--what happened to Fire Lord Zuko's mother? Finding a clue at last, Zuko enlists the aid of Team Avatar--and the most unlikely ally of all--to help uncover the biggest secret of his life.

** spoiler alert **
           I haaate that Zuko always gets the short end of the stick. Why'd his mom have to choose someone else over him? I know she said she'll always love him, but obviously she didn't love him enough.

Aang faces a decision from which there is no return! When Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph return to Earthen Fire Industries--the factory owned by Toph's father--Aang is surprised when their arrival is met with a cold shoulder. As soon as the team is asked for help at a business council meeting, the reason for the slight becomes clear: a massive bender-versus-non-bender conflict has gripped the town and is threatening to turn violent. In order to heal the divide and save the town, Aang and the team will all face tough decisions about power and identity that could tear them apart. Written by Faith Erin Hicks (The Adventures of Superhero Girl, The Nameless City) and drawn by Peter Wartman (Stonebreaker), in collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, this is the ultimate continuation of Avatar! Collects Avatar: The Last Airbender - Imbalance parts 1-3 (ATLA volumes 16-18).

This didn't feel like a good ending. Smoke and Shadow felt more final than this, but at least it's a good transition to the LOK.

Avatar Aang travels to the spirit world to parley with an ancient power; bringing Fire Lord Zuko ever closer to discovering the truth about his mother's fate--and his own past. Yet Zuko's sister Azula is becoming increasingly dangerous; threatening to ruin everything that Zuko; Aang; Katara; and Sokka have struggled to achieve on their search! * The official continuation of Airbender from its creators; Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko!

The Promise

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise by Gene Luen Yang was originally published in three parts over the course of 2012. It has since been repackaged as a 240 page omnibus. Since the endings of parts one and two seemed rather arbitrary to me, I'm reviewing The Promise as one work, even though I read it in its original three parts.

The Promise assumes two things of its readers: familiarity with the original Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series and the more recent one, Avatar: The Legend of Korra. These comics come in the time after the defeat of the Fire Lord and the founding of Republic City.

Most of The Promise centers on a single Fire Nation colony on the outer edge of the Earth Kingdom. While both sides claim sovereignty over it, neither side seems willing to ask the residents what they want or what they think is best for their community. The problem is that a new hybrid culture has arisen out of occupation. There are blended families now.

But it's really not until the final third that all the themes come to a head. Aang for instance is horrified at seeing a local fan club wearing the sacred tattoos and clothing of the Air Nomads. It's through his own pain and feeling torn between the nomad life which he so desperately misses, and his new life with Katara (oogies, as her brother puts it), that he begins to see how the war and occupation has changed things for everyone.

For those wondering whatever happened to Zuko's mother, the next set of three books, The Search, will try to answer that question. That series starts in April 2013.

Avatar: the Last Airbender--North and South Part Three

Reading this volume, it's obvious that it's the end of Yang's time writing for Avatar. Open plot threads are sewn together nicely and neatly. The foundation for plots needed for Korra is laid. It's a good last volume but as a stand alone it lacks the drive and punch of previous ones.

It's been five years since I read and reviewed "The Rift" and my faulty memory made diving into Hick's story harder than it should have been. Beyond that the story's a little rough around the edges but this is her first time writing these characters beyond a short in an anthology. That said, it was good enough for me to purchase Part Two which came out in April. I have it on hand and will be reading it soon.

4.5 stars

if only this was made as a continuation of the tv show, this is the part of the show that everyone needs to see. it really blends politics, cultural appropriation, and racial/cultural tensions well into this world. even though i only watched a couple of episodes of the legend of korra, i feel that this book sets the origins of the post-racial and urbanization-ist (is that a word lol) worldbuilding of LOK.

probably 3.5-3.75 stars, my least favorite of the atla comics so far

4.5 stars

lowkey gave me anxiety but the closure was what i needed; i also didn't expect politics to be weaved into the story that's nuanced

3.5 stars

i thought it was alright, the themes of bigotry/supremacy and the psychology behind that was interesting but the art style is very different from the other comics that felt like this book is a different entity and the villain felt lackluster in explaining her reasoning and beliefs that makes her an antagonist.

it's good to know where republic city came from so if you're curious about the origins, this is a good place to know

there are some artwork that i wasn't a fan of (the first story was lowkey disturbing) and some of them were really nice (origami was my favorite story in terms of the art)
