Summary

I always have fun reading the Avatar comics， and though this one was my least favorite so far， I still liked it。 It was nice to see Katara and Sokka and the forefront and the themes of modernization and changes in family were really interesting。 That said， I felt like the themes had been explored better in the past。 I felt like this comic was a little text-heavy and the story was a bit simple。 Still， I see how important it is to the Avatar canon。

I know the moral of this story isn’t supposed to be that colonization and progress at the expense of culture are good things， but in a really gross way that kinda feels like the moral of the story。 That said， any story with Zuko and Toph’s metal bending students deserves at least a one star bump so two stars it is。

*4。5 starsI really enjoyed this comic， though not as much as some of the others。 I loved getting to see Katara and Sokka go home and what the Southern Water Tribe is now like and the overall plot was interesing。（Sokka winning a bunch of stuffed animals for Toph was so CUTE）

4 STARSI loved this， just like all the other stories！ My only issue was that the story was very close to what we've already seen。 Then again， it makes sense in the setting and with what's going on。It was great seeing Toph again， I missed her in the last volume！ 4 STARSI loved this， just like all the other stories！ My only issue was that the story was very close to what we've already seen。 Then again， it makes sense in the setting and with what's going on。It was great seeing Toph again， I missed her in the last volume！ 。。。more

I didn't really like the book that much。 Which really is a shame because water is my favorite element in the Avatar world。 The color scheme of the drawings and the landscape were admittedly amazing。I get the themes that they were going for， but I felt they were very surface level。 （And for the love of god， they should keep that oil in the ground。 If not they can make Avatar Part 3 one day where the current Avatar has to fight climate change。） Overall there were some weird implications， for examp I didn't really like the book that much。 Which really is a shame because water is my favorite element in the Avatar world。 The color scheme of the drawings and the landscape were admittedly amazing。I get the themes that they were going for， but I felt they were very surface level。 （And for the love of god， they should keep that oil in the ground。 If not they can make Avatar Part 3 one day where the current Avatar has to fight climate change。） Overall there were some weird implications， for example that the indigenous tribes had to modernize and basically become capitalists to thrive。 While keeping their traditional way of life was portayed as backwards。 Yikes。There were also some huge plot holes。 Like when a group of nonbenders were able to defeat all of the best benders in the world and then they were able to outrun Aang。 It made absolutely no sense。 There were some moments I enjoyed though and the art work was beautiful。 。。。more

A worthy end to the Yang/Gurihiro era。 The scope was widened from the slightly more personal stories in the earliër issues， and more than any collexion synce Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise， I could see this one as a full season of the show and Gilak et al。 as an actuäl recurring villain。 It did seem rather similar to what we’d already read in that volume， but it’d be unrealistic and unfair to assume that only the Fire Nation colonies were dealing with the afteraffects of The War。One asp A worthy end to the Yang/Gurihiro era。 The scope was widened from the slightly more personal stories in the earliër issues， and more than any collexion synce Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise， I could see this one as a full season of the show and Gilak et al。 as an actuäl recurring villain。 It did seem rather similar to what we’d already read in that volume， but it’d be unrealistic and unfair to assume that only the Fire Nation colonies were dealing with the afteraffects of The War。One aspect I did appreciäte in some of the previöus volume is the decreasing case。 While I appreciäted that Yang wanted to bring all the characters back for his final collexion， I did find that some characters （in some ways， any team member aside from Sokka and Katata） were superfluöus。 。。。more

This book features a believable conflict that doesn't follow a 'happily-ever-after， absolutely no conflict' formula like many post-war fictional stories do。 The tension between the North and South is interesting to read and parallels real-life issues。 The fight scenes and art style are well done。 There are some things that don't make too much sense - like why some of the characters act how they do， and comical dialogue during serious scenes - but the comic is very enjoyable overall。 This book features a believable conflict that doesn't follow a 'happily-ever-after， absolutely no conflict' formula like many post-war fictional stories do。 The tension between the North and South is interesting to read and parallels real-life issues。 The fight scenes and art style are well done。 There are some things that don't make too much sense - like why some of the characters act how they do， and comical dialogue during serious scenes - but the comic is very enjoyable overall。 。。。more

Me quedo igual que con el anterior volumen。 Un tema interesante bien llevado （en este caso， "¿qué marca la identidad de un pueblo？" y los conflictos que se derivan de ello）， pero un guion repetitivo para con anteriores volúmenes， de villano mediocre， ritmo algo veloz y secundarios que más bien sobran。 También se recurre a resoluciones fáciles de conflictos， como el caso de Katara con la nueva esposa de su padre o todo el clímax。 El dibujo sigue siendo realmente bueno， los personajes se comportan Me quedo igual que con el anterior volumen。 Un tema interesante bien llevado （en este caso， "¿qué marca la identidad de un pueblo？" y los conflictos que se derivan de ello）， pero un guion repetitivo para con anteriores volúmenes， de villano mediocre， ritmo algo veloz y secundarios que más bien sobran。 También se recurre a resoluciones fáciles de conflictos， como el caso de Katara con la nueva esposa de su padre o todo el clímax。 El dibujo sigue siendo realmente bueno， los personajes se comportan como deberían y sus relaciones dan juego， pero me cuesta mantener el interés。 Al menos vuelve el tema del equilibrio entre culturas y las influencias tecnológicas dentro del mundo de Avatar; tan solo le pido que lo haga de alguna manera menos reiterada。 。。。more

Amazing as the series！I love to follow Team Avatar around with their adventures。South Pole is changing… It is a bittersweet story。And I hope they do not finish Aang’s stories just now。（Actually， they just wrote another one 😜）Kora is not the same， and it is not supposed to be…Sorry， but I “miss the ol’ days”…

Fue bueno volver a leer sobre Avatar y conectar con lo personajes， pero hubieron ciertas cosas que no me parecieron bien。 Como por ejemplo， Katara siendo la que esta en desacuerdo y que le hace ruido que la Tribu del Sur cambie， creo que ahí debería haber sido Sokka， en la serie él era el más tradicional。 Que Hakoda haya aceptado todo eso， no me sorprende sinceramente， lo que si me sorprende fue que hubiera gente que se negara a tooodo lo que la Tribu del Norte proponía， durante la guerra vivían Fue bueno volver a leer sobre Avatar y conectar con lo personajes， pero hubieron ciertas cosas que no me parecieron bien。 Como por ejemplo， Katara siendo la que esta en desacuerdo y que le hace ruido que la Tribu del Sur cambie， creo que ahí debería haber sido Sokka， en la serie él era el más tradicional。 Que Hakoda haya aceptado todo eso， no me sorprende sinceramente， lo que si me sorprende fue que hubiera gente que se negara a tooodo lo que la Tribu del Norte proponía， durante la guerra vivían en la miseria。 Sokka no siempre piensa en comida， es un personaje bastante inteligente a decir verdad。Ahora， me gustó como se llevó acabo el tema de la política y todo lo deás。 Lástima que no hayan puesto más contenido de Appa y Momo 3 。。。more

The final of the Avatar comics has arrived。 The ending was bittersweet and is everything and more！ I loved this book and the sacred message it presented。 Although change is hard， sometimes it is necessary， but also， sometimes， things should stay the way they are， nostalgic and homey。 Nonetheless， this book was great！ I’m gonna miss this generation of the Avatar， but I still have some other comics of this series to read！

Probably my least favorite of the comics so far， though still enjoyable。 Katara had some sick moves in this one。 Just wish that a） the new characters were more developed and memorable and b） Katara and Aang would call each other literally anything other than “sweetie。”

I love the comics because they’re a look back into the lives of Team Avatar but they never manage to capture the magic of the show。 Highly recommend them if you love the show ❤️

Gene Luen Yang is once again posing critical political dilemmas through children’s media， and I could not be happier about it。 North and South explores the changes that have occurred in the South Pole since Sokka and Katara left。 Industrialization is looming， and there is contention between the new expanded government and the people， who don’t want to give up Southern Water Tribe culture for the sake of advancement。 Although this story is not as heavy on the character exploration that I most enj Gene Luen Yang is once again posing critical political dilemmas through children’s media， and I could not be happier about it。 North and South explores the changes that have occurred in the South Pole since Sokka and Katara left。 Industrialization is looming， and there is contention between the new expanded government and the people， who don’t want to give up Southern Water Tribe culture for the sake of advancement。 Although this story is not as heavy on the character exploration that I most enjoy， it does bring up important questions:What right do more technologically advanced societies have to control the resources of less technologically advanced societies？ Should technology be embraced if it would disrupt traditional ways of living？ Is diversity still positive if it means the loss of individual cultures？ What even constitutes as societal advancement？Of course， none of these questions can be answered in a single graphic novel—nor does Yang try to answer them。 But just bringing these issues into perspective is very valuable。 I especially appreciated Yang’s analysis of “advanced” societies attitudes towards civilizations they deem lesser than them。 In North and South， leaders from the Northern Water Tribe and the Earth Kingdom—two nations that have fully embraced technological advancement—cannot understand why the Southern Water Tribe could possibly want to remain “unclean，” “unsafe，” and “uncivilized。” Particularly because their land contains valuable resources。 This is a poignant allegory for attitudes towards indigenous cultures， and especially the Inuit peoples， on which the Southern Water Tribe is modelled。 I wasn’t super satisfied with the ending， and this is the least dynamic ATLA graphic novel， but I really respect what Gene Luen Yang achieved in terms of messaging。 And Gurihiru’s artwork is amazing as always。 Not at all a bad final installment for this writer/illustrator pairing。 。。。more

After reading a lot of these， I've started to feel that there's a pattern。 And no I don't mean it as a compliment。 Well， still a pretty enjoyable continuation of the original series but the "sweetie"， it's weird considering these are the same characters （and not much older） that I grew up with。 After reading a lot of these， I've started to feel that there's a pattern。 And no I don't mean it as a compliment。 Well， still a pretty enjoyable continuation of the original series but the "sweetie"， it's weird considering these are the same characters （and not much older） that I grew up with。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 this wasn't enough for me tbh :/ there's no real discussion here。 the southern tribe traditionalists had very valid points。 and hakoda didn't hear them out， didn't even hear katara out even after it turned out that the northerners actually did plan to use the southern tribe as their colony and didn't view them to be civilized people。 i get that malina is his girlfriend and all but having him just trust her and not taking into consideration that she originally got there to oppress his people and this wasn't enough for me tbh :/ there's no real discussion here。 the southern tribe traditionalists had very valid points。 and hakoda didn't hear them out， didn't even hear katara out even after it turned out that the northerners actually did plan to use the southern tribe as their colony and didn't view them to be civilized people。 i get that malina is his girlfriend and all but having him just trust her and not taking into consideration that she originally got there to oppress his people and steal from them，，，， not only is that very unsatisfying but also completely out of character for hakoda who has been portrayed as this level headed leader type character so far。 not even hearing out his people doesn't sound like him。 and there was no real resolution， which i appreciated in other comics， because they at least showed that there would be discussions had and progress being made in the future after the comic ends。 like there would be a new council or something that shows that there are still characters working on stuff together。 here it's like "the leader of this group died， so we don't need to worry about it anymore"。 which， again， the people against the factory and the northerners coming in and trying to force their laws and ways of life onto them have valid and founded concerns that need to be addressed。 idk man， i'm a little disappointed ngl :// 。。。more

Team Avatar is reunited again！ Here we see Sokka and Katara return to their home， the South Pole since they left with the Avatar all those years ago。 Things are changing， some for good， some not so much。 We see again conflicts between keeping things traditions or moving on to the future。 I enjoyed watching them all learn and grow from the past and think about the future。

Der Comic war sehr vorhersehbar und hat sich stellenweise sehr gezogen。 Vielleicht lag es daran， das meine Erwartungen sehr niedrig waren， aber ich hatte trotzdem Spaß。。。 Das Ende war süß und deswegen einfach 3 Sterne。
