Karen: This is great i love seing these world and these charecters again and the overall conflict is strong

But everything feels a little off zuko and ang both act slightly out of character at various points its mostly right but die hard fans will definitely be able to tell these arent the same writers as the show

Cameron Thomas: Going into the comics for Avatar: The Last Airbender felt strange because I've grown so fond of the show. I was used to the lively animation and the characters made manifested by the great voice acting. I love reading comics, but I wasn't sure if the Avatar comics would be for me.

Well, after this introduction, the comic verse for Avatar. I can say those feelings aren't dissatisfied because of the shift in the medium. I was enthralled to be joining the rest of the fandom who gave the comics the much-deserved attention.

Initially, I was afraid the writing quality would falter due to the weight and expectation of the show. I was initially skeptical as I was learning of Zuko's trouble adapting to his duties as the new Firelord. I wondered if the writers undermined the redemption arc Zuko achieved in Book Three. However, those complexities made for a great sense of direction for Zuko.

There are beats I cared less for, like the romanticism of "Katang" I was always rooting for Aang and Katara to be in a relationship by the end of the series. The promise presents the continuation of their relationship. It somehow feels awkward to see the pair together, but it was...

Miss.Despres: I'm not a huge manga reader...but I do enjoy some from time to time, and I couldn't pass up a chance to learn more about the story of Aang and the gang. Avatar: The Last Airbender is such an amazing story, I've lost count of how many times me and the hubby have watched and re-watched the series. I only recently acquired the entire 'The Promise' series because I wanted to be able to read them all back to back for 2 reasons: 1-they are on the small side, so I knew I'd get through them quickly...& 2- I heard books 1 & 2 end in cliffhangers. Book 1 certainly did, so I'm glad I have the others handy :)

The Promise 1 starts off RIGHT where the ATLA series left off, literally. Even people who haven't watched the show in a while wouldn't be lost. I especially like that the creators continued the story right after the war ended. Most of my favorite series (books, movies or tv) tend to end right after an epic battle or war. I'm the type of reader who would also like the story to go on...even a little bit longer, so I can see for myself that the characters I've grown to love are really ok and going on with their lives. I've always been like that, so for me this continuation is...

Neel: The Promise Part 1 is an enjoyable read for anyone who has watched Avatar the Last Air Bender. It is the first of the promise trilogy and aids the connection between the Legend of Korra and ATLA. It continues the life of Aang, Katara, Zuko, Sokka, Toph, Mai, Suki, Iroh and Ozai.
This trilogy is named the promise because of the relationship that Zuko and Aang have after the war. In his "clearest state of mind", Zuko asks the Avatar to end him should Zuko become like his father. The books revolves around this Promise. Overall, the books are very similar to the TV show. They both have similar humor and the characters look almost the same.
I found that you can read/"watch" the comics on youtube. However, I suggest that you purchase the book because no video can capture how high quality the drawings are. In my opinion, it is worth it to buy the book.
My only complaints are not large issues. Firstly, I found the book to be too short. It takes maybe 10-20 minutes to read. If it was presented on television; I believe that it might take 2 episodes to complete (30 minutes each). Although this is expected because it is an anime book, I was disappointed when it was over so quickly....

Jay Boulton: Having just finished the series of The Last Airbender and not being quite ready to delve into Legend of Korra, I went on a hunt to find material to extend my enjoyment of the old show, and The Promise seemed to be received quite positively, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

After reading, I can say it's really great! As an avid fan at this point I was keeping my eyes and fanboy-sense peeled for anything that was out of order with the canon, or things likes characters doing/saying things they wouldn't in the show, and it was pretty tight! It was co-written by the show's creators though, so that'll be why. It definitely does the job nicely of extending the series, and so far it's set up an interesting plot - one that isn't just black and white, good and evil, which is always nice to see. As long as they stay on track and stay true to the world of the show as they have so far, this is going to end up being an awesome set of books that I look forward to reading.

The only things I'm not thrilled about is that the books are being released very slowly (luckily I chose the right time to buy this one, since book 2 is coming out this month, but after that I'll have to wait...

P. Romance: 4.5 stars

After a long war, peace should have descended. Right? Wrong. Peace does not come easy to the 4 Nations. In order to maintain balance in their world, the Fire Nation colonies based in different Nations needed to be disbanded. However, fear and anger spurred the Fire Nation colonies to fight for their homes. As the Fire Lord, Zuko has to protect his people. As the Avatar, Aang needed to achieve peace and balance. Zuko and Aang are caught in the middle of the unrest and it might push their friendship to the breaking point.

Despite hoping for a happily ever after for Aang and company, there was a lot of work to clean up the mess the last Fire Lord created. The writers picked up the plot where Season 3 ended. Amazing storytelling, with just a hint of a predictable plot, that held you riveted to the pages. It easily captured and related their trademark humor and personalities. In graphic novels, events and actions tend by misconstrued or missed but the wording and the artwork in each panel were concise and action packed. The balance of action, intrigue and especially romance was done well. Zuko and Aang got equal page time. And for the AangxKatara fans out there,...
