Chronicle To Books Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise, Part 1 (The Promise #1)
After reading:Oh ... whoops, I still need to review this. Heh heh.
Before reading:
Well OF COURSE I WILL READ THIS. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AND STUFF.
So yeah, for those of you who don't know, there are going to be these two graphic novels which basically fill in the gaps between The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra (which comes out ... who knows when, but sometime next year). So like, hopefully stuff will be explained. And yeah. I'm so tired I can't even think right now. But YAAAY I'M EXCITED. It still won't be the same as having the TV show, and I'll still be drooling like a rabid dog waiting for TLOK, but OH WELL it's better than nothing. Or than watching the original series fifty billion times.
(JK, actually ... watching the original series fifty billion times is awesome. It never gets old.)
ANYWAY, I read a leak from this book via Tumblr. (Sorry, I had a link but it doesn't work anymore ... It was probably taken down.)
So yeah, I'm not really sure if I'm excited or pissed off. I guess it depends on how everything turns out. Basically, these are the spoilers as revealed by the leak:
(view spoiler)[
- Characters like Roku, Mai, Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors, Ty Lee, and the Freedom Fighters will be making an appearance
YAY. BRIGID HAPPY.
- Zuko asks Aang to “end him” should he ever get out of hand like his father
Kind of clichéd, but .... *sighs* still very Zuko-like. Also if Aang kills Zuko, that would be, well, kind of stupid.
- Roku agrees that Aang’s responsibility to the world is greater than his friendship
Wow, Roku. You're a nice guy.
- Yes…Aang and Katara refer to each other as “sweetie”.
OKAYYYYYY. I ... just .... I don't even know what to say. If you read the excerpt, you'll see what I mean. Look, I'm a total Kataang supporter, but really, it's a little too much. Or maybe way too much. It's kind of overkill. Like, alright, I get that they're an item now, but the whole "sweetie" thing just feels uncharacteristic of both of them. It really weirds me out.
- The colonies are indeed in a state of unrest, and there have been riots agains the peace movement
Woohoooo. MORE VIOLENCE.
- ZUKO RECLAIMS CROWN AS MASTER OF BAD DECISIONS AND GOES TO HIS FATHER FOR HELP IN THE LAST STINKIN PANEL.
Oh, Zuko. You never learn ANYTHING, do you?!
(hide spoiler)]
Well, that's all I've got to say right now. And thus ends my nerdy little rant.

Introduction: Now, I am a huge fan of the Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series and when I heard that there was going to be a comic book series that would continue from where the TV series last ended, I was so excited that I had to pick up this series! Avatar the Last Airbender: The Promise Part One continues from where the TV series ended its run and I have to admit that this was a brilliant continuation of the world-acclaimed TV series! What is this story about? After the events of AvatarAfter reading:Oh ... whoops, I still need to review this. Heh heh.Before reading:Well OF COURSE I WILL READ THIS.

If you're a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I recommend checking out this graphic novel!Why You Should Read The Promise: The comic is set just after the end of ATLA, so this is the perfect book to read if the ending of the series left you wanting more! The artwork is stunning, it feels like watching an ATLA episode! Toph is a badass as usual Zuko is the Fire Lord™ And the promise is quite intriguing too.Buddy read with my brother Siamak
I was so excited when I got this in the mail!! I totally miss the world of A:TLA and was so chuffed to delve back into this world. I know this is part of the promotional material to set up for the next Avatar series, but I don't care. All I want is MORE ZUKO!! MORE ZUKO!! The art is beautiful and the humor asides are fun. I think in graphic novel form, the story seems a bit more juvenile than the cartoon, but I realize also that this first volume is the set up and not the climax/resolution. I
I will also do a video review here at my channel: http://www.youtube.com/magicofbooks"The Promise" is book 1 in an exciting new story set in the world of "Avatar: The Last Airbender." The war is over, but there is still tension between the nations. Aang believes that the way to peace is for Zuko to remove any presence of the Fire Nation from the Earth Nation. While Zuko wants peace as well, he's not comfortable with removing families who have lived in the Earth Nation for generations. This
This review is for all three volumes, since it's really just one story and I read them all in one sitting. Sadly, I didn't like this nearly as much as Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search. There's nothing terribly wrong with this story, but there's nothing terribly good about it, either. Yes, it does have the feel of an episode or two of the show, but these would not have been my favorite episodes. Not enough happens, and the same characters have the same arguments over and over again. And
Original post at One More PageI never really go to the graphic novels section of NetGalley, but anything Avatar: The Last Airbender related is an automatic pick for me. I loved the series, so reading this was a definite treat.The graphic novel picks up immediately where the series ended (spoiler warning if you haven't watched the entire series yet), where Aang and Zuko and the rest of the gang were working on bringing back peace in the world. One of the things they were planning to do was to
