good background
I didn’t think that having a play by play of the original movie would be that interesting, but along with getting important lore details we also see character development from Tsu’tey that made sad when the end came, even though I knew what would happen already.

Being a huge Avatar fan, I looked forward to reading this, but honestly, this felt somewhat underwhelming. It's very short, only 144 pages. The comic is mostly just everything that happened in the first movie, but from Tsu'tey's persoective, with a few scenes thrown here and there to make it a cohesive story. But I felt the pace to be too fast. I barely got to know Tsu'tey more deeply than I got in the movie.
Also, since the omnibus also had Brothers in this, I'm gonna review it as well. It was alright. Just an extended scene of Jake bonding Toruk, with him doing a relevant monologue about Alexander the Great. Only a few pages long.
Overall, not a bad read, but I would have liked a bit more length from this.

Justice for Tus'tey. Also loved seeing Jake pre kids trying to find his place in this new world new body.

Barely any story and mostly replays what you already know from the first movie. Also it’s hard to tell characters apart in print.

A great addition to the movie! We get to see the story we already know but now through Tsu'tey's eyes. It is revealed early that Sylwanin, (Neytiri's sister) and Tsu'tey were in love and were to become the next Tsahik and Olo'eyktan, until Sylwanin died and Neytiri becomes the next in line as Tsahik. Sylwanin's death is explained in the deleted scenes/extended versions of the movie and I really wish it hadn't been cut from the movie since it adds a lot more to the story. But in this graphic novel we get to meet Sylwanin and learn even more about her when Tsu'tey contacts her through the spirit tree.
Another part that was cut from the original movie was Tsu'tey's death. We see him fall from the aircraft during the final battle but we do not see anything more or how Jake becomes the new Olo'eyktan. It is once again a deleted scene in the movies but the graphic novel actually has the full scene in it as well and I am so glad that it was included. It is a very powerful moment and a prefect ending for Tsu'tey who was such a flawed and complex character. This book really does justice for him and I am so glad that it exists. And then, just as an added bonus, his story comes to a complete close when Tsu'tey joins his beloved Sylwanin in the spirit tree and reunited.
This edition of the graphic novel also included the short story "Brothers". It starts off just as Jake is trying to right his wrongs of deceiving the Na'vi as to why he really wanted to learn their ways. He starts off by reminiscing about the twin brother that died at the beginning of the story (and the reason why he goes to Pandora in the first place) while he is searching for the Toruk. It continues on to show what the movie didn't of Jake actually taming the beast and bonding with it before arriving at the spirit tree to make his peace with the Na'vi. It is a great monologue of him remembering his old life and family while he begins the fight to protect his new family.
