Oh, man. I love that these comics exist, and are an official continuation of the story. Avatar: The Last Airbender is my comfort food. I watch it when I’m sick and it’s so happy and lovely and colorful. And look, I know it’s a kid’s show, but UGH IT’S SO GOOD. I also love Legend of Korra, and am super looking forward to the comics continuation of that show that’s supposed to be coming out soon.
With all that said, this wasn’t my favorite of these comics. Aang is escorting Zuko and his new-found family (mother, half-sister and step-father) back to the capital. Also going on is unrest from a particular small section of the Fire Nation. They want to remove Zuko as the Fire Lord, and reinstate his disgraced and imprisoned father. They call themselves the New Ozai society, and they are kidnapping children to further their own ends. Turns out one of those kids is Mai’s younger brother.
Not really much to say about this one. I should have read it like I’ve read the others: waited for all the volumes in the story arc to be published, and then read them all at once. It’s way more satisfying.
