Commentary Concering 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.

Absolutely content. When the TV series ended with so many loose threads and the new series Korra announced, I kept feeling as if there was a whole story left untold. This book, The Promise Part 1, continues where Avatar Last Airbender the TV series left off - with Aang's duty fulfilled, Zuko as Firelord and the rest of the gang helping in the peace effort, it seems like this book is just going to be about the gang having fun and chilling out in the Fire Nation. But their peace threatens to beUgh so good to be back in this world was seriously missing the squad.
Rating: 4.5 stars
It was way better than I expected-- way better than it has any right to be! And yet, it doesn't come anywhere close to the show, lacking the gut-wrenching emotional moments, intricate relationships and most of all the character development. But I suppose that's to be expected after only one issue. I enjoyed it, but it just felt... lacking.
For the review of the whole mini series, and more reviews, please visit my book blogThe Promise is a quick and entertaining read about Aang's adventures after the war was ended. It's very nice to see all of the characters, and humor is great as usual. Aang and Katara calling each other 'sweetie' gave me the oogies though. Onto the next one.My WEBSITEMy INSTAGRAMMy WORDPRESS BLOG
SPOILERS FOR AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER SHOW!I had finished a rewatch of this series when I decided that I wanted to pick up the graphic novels. This first part was so nice to be able to go back to the world of Avatar and to see the characters a year on. In this, the gang is attempting to create a new and better world. However, Zuko is struggling with doing what is right for his people and for the world. I loved this so much. Avatar has always been one of my favorite shows and this graphic novel
Second Read: Delving back into this world felt so familiar and amazing! I have always really loved these characters and this world! Getting back into this series, I remember how much I loved the first few parts and I can't wait to read more of this world in comic book form! First Read:This comic basically picks up right where the anime left off and I love where it went! You see Team Avatar celebrate the end of the war, then a promise is made (which is why the comic series is called "The
