A great tie-in to explain what happened between 2009's "Avatar" and its long-awaited sequel.

I really liked the illustrations, great artwork! The short story was plausible in relation to the movie and it was not bad. I just felt like for an epic franchise that did big with the 1st film and trying to match the hype for the upcoming 2nd film, this story isn't ambitious enough for my tastes. I wonder if the other graphic novels are on par with this one, or take it further.

"Avatar: The Next Shadow" is set right after the ending of the movie when two very different people are forced to coexist under a divided and conflicted leader.
General Impressions
Avatar came out in 2009 and since then...crickets. Yes, I was starved for content and I screamed when I saw this graphic novel was part of the canon.
I did enjoy this graphic novel but my reading experience suffered because I read it digitally. I liked the art and the characters and enjoyed the overall themes of the story.
My absolute favourite part was Jake Sully's struggle not only with feeling like a worthy leader but with his guilt for everything that was lost, that he helped destroy, which I feel is a seldom discussed theme when it comes to current imperialistic societies like the one in which the Avatar universe is based on.
Thank you to Edelweiss+ and Dark Horse Studios for this DRC.
Rating: 3.5/5
