I loved getting back into this world。 The ATLA writers continue to spin a tale that’s both light-hearted and eye-opening。 I’ve never seen a kids’ show handle a war the way ATLA did， and in this comic that picks up directly after the series finale， we get a glimpse of how team avatar plans to rebuild their world and the challenges that are going to come with it。 As I’ve always said with ATLA， it portrays the consequences of war and conquering and colonialism incredibly well

3。5/5。 Me encanta que continué justo después de la serie， espero que traten mejor a Zuko， se supone que la etapa inestable ya había pasado， aunque entiendo el problema。Pd。 Si da mucho "ugui" lo de amorcito jajajaja。 3。5/5。 Me encanta que continué justo después de la serie， espero que traten mejor a Zuko， se supone que la etapa inestable ya había pasado， aunque entiendo el problema。Pd。 Si da mucho "ugui" lo de amorcito jajajaja。 。。。more

Hände hoch， wo sind die die Avatar Fans， egal ob Serie oder Comicreihe？ Wenn ihr eines der Elemente für euch aussuchen könntet， welches wäre es und wieso？ Schon als Kind habe ich regelmäßig die Serie angesehen und fand die Geschichten klasse。 Umso schöner ist es die Freude weiterauszuleben und spannende Abendteuer aus dem Cross Cult zu lesen。 Ein großes Dankeschön gilt an den Cross Cult Verlag für die Rezensionsexemplare。Was für ein spannender Beginn einer Trilogie。 Einige Zeit nach dem Krieg sc Hände hoch， wo sind die die Avatar Fans， egal ob Serie oder Comicreihe？ Wenn ihr eines der Elemente für euch aussuchen könntet， welches wäre es und wieso？ Schon als Kind habe ich regelmäßig die Serie angesehen und fand die Geschichten klasse。 Umso schöner ist es die Freude weiterauszuleben und spannende Abendteuer aus dem Cross Cult zu lesen。 Ein großes Dankeschön gilt an den Cross Cult Verlag für die Rezensionsexemplare。Was für ein spannender Beginn einer Trilogie。 Einige Zeit nach dem Krieg scheint vorerst Harmonie zu herrschen， doch dem ist nicht so。 Um den Frieden zu erhalten， Vertrauen und Stabilität herzustellen braucht es Zeit und Geduld。 Die Comicreihe der Avatar Abenteuer ist genauso klasse wie die Serie。 Sie knüpft sehr gut an die Fernsehserie und setzt die Geschichte sehr plausibel und spannend fort。 Daher ist es durchaus zu empfehlen， vorerst die Serie gesehen zu haben， um allmählich auch alle weiteren Details im Comic nachvollziehen zu können。Ein besonderer Punkt ist für mich hier die Arbeit des Comiczeichners。 So detailreiche， liebevolle Arbeit und die Fähigkeit， neben so kurzen und knackigen Dialogen， Emotionen und Ereignissen in so wundervolle Zeichnungen wiedergeben und ausdrücken zu können ist ihm sehr gut gelungen。 Es ist nicht nur die Story， die erzählt wird und den Leser unterhält， sondern vielmehr auch der Genuss der einzelnen Zeichnungen， actionvolle Szenen und der Serie ähnliche und detailgetreue Darstellung von Charakteren und Wesen。Abschließend gibt es speziell zu Avatar und dem Auftakt dieser Reihe nicht mehr viel hinzuzufügen。 Die Serie ist wunderbar， die Comics sind klasse， meinerseits eine absolute Kauf-Leseempfehlung für diese Reihe。 Nicht nur für Fans von Avatar Comics oder der Avatar Serie。 5 von 5 Sternen für dieses Abenteuer。 。。。more

It never ceases to amaze me how beautifully ATLA/LoK handles difficult and complex themes。 This carries on so seamlessly from the show， everything was perfect。Also Uncle Iroh invented boba tea which is pretty rad。

I had the best time ever reading the first one of the graphic novels and can‘t wait to pick-up The Search。 The notes on the sides distracted me at first， but U enjoyed having some details about the creative process and how everything came together。 The whole Avatar stories have so many layers and contain so many lessons you can learn from。 It always shows me a how much we should concentrate on our deep connection with ourselves but also with others。 Truly wonderful。

I loved watching the TV series and I'm glad to get to see these characters again。 I like that the events of these books are after the ending of the show， and we get to see the aftermath and new adventures instead of just re-hashing the shows events。 I like that they still encapsulate the characters' personalities in these books so they feel familiar， and they are still dealing with real/hard issues and the ideas of right/wrong and not everything is black & white。 They do a good job of taking an I loved watching the TV series and I'm glad to get to see these characters again。 I like that the events of these books are after the ending of the show， and we get to see the aftermath and new adventures instead of just re-hashing the shows events。 I like that they still encapsulate the characters' personalities in these books so they feel familiar， and they are still dealing with real/hard issues and the ideas of right/wrong and not everything is black & white。 They do a good job of taking an issue， in this case whether or not to dismantle a colony from the past war and they explore both sides/points of view and we see characters struggle with this idea of gray areas。Would recommend？Yes， especially if you were a fan of the show。 。。。more

3。5 Stars， what I really like about this story was the idea of the conflict post "the hundred year war" no more Fire Nation Colonies in the Earth kingdom but the people really got to live in peace with the mix of citizens。 Shall we separate families in order to keep harmony between Nations or let them be the same way they used to live？？。 The Promise was very interesting， however if you see The legend of Korra is very obvious how it would end。 3。5 Stars， what I really like about this story was the idea of the conflict post "the hundred year war" no more Fire Nation Colonies in the Earth kingdom but the people really got to live in peace with the mix of citizens。 Shall we separate families in order to keep harmony between Nations or let them be the same way they used to live？？。 The Promise was very interesting， however if you see The legend of Korra is very obvious how it would end。 。。。more

📖Genre: ComicProtagonisten: AangEin sehr gut gelungender Comic， der den Scharm von Avatar gut rüberbringt。

Rachel ✨ ，

Aang and Katara calling each other sweetie is so annoying lmao

Lilybeth ，

This picks up right where the show ends。 We get to see Team Avatar deal with political issues and how different ideologies change dynamics between them。 I love these characters and I actually laughed out loud a few times。 On to part 2。。。

Savannah Thomas ，

I liked the story and conflict。 But aang and katara calling each other sweetie。。。。 Oogie！

Lauren ，

Reading this made me miss the world of A:TLA， but in a good way！ I could easily hear the voices of all the beloved characters。

Lizzy Pitch ，

always love some avatar

Justice （arieslibraries） ，

aang and katara calling each other “sweetie” just gave me one more reason to ship zutara

simplyshyanne ，

I loved it。 :'） I loved it。 :'） 。。。more

Anna ，

The final episode of ATLA had some tidbits that made me say， “oh wow， what’s gonna happen next？”so when I found out the story was continued in graphic novels （one of my favorite mediums） I was eager to read。 This is a short volume， but there’s a lot here and I’m so ready to read these books。 （Also， that ending？？？？？？！？？？？！？？！！！？？？？？）

Lauren ，

Sweetie。 While I’m a Katara and Aang fan for sure seeing them say sweetie to each other was somewhat awkward。 But it reads just like an episode！ I will say reading it on my kindle is definitely very hard so I recommend reading it physically rather than on an Ereader。 Definitely fun for fans of the show！
