'Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rift, Part 1' sees Avatar Aang being visited by the ghost of Avatar Yangchen. He convinces his friends to take a journey to honor her festival, but when he arrives, he finds that not all is well. There is a noxious factory on sacred land. When Aang tries to get them to move, he finds bigger mysteries.

The characters are good, and I love the interactions. All the Avatars are friends, but they have differences and friendly disagreements. Avatar Toph is featured in this series, although not at first, and there is more ahead for her since this episode ends on a cliffhanger.

The writing is really good and has an environmental message without being too heavy-handed. A little more heavy-handed is the airbenders being vegetarian, but I think that follows through from the series. The art looks like cels from the cartoon. The story takes place after the series has finished and seems to continue it nicely. This is a part one that does end on a cliffhanger. Now I want to read the next one.

I was given a review copy by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to read this fun graphic novel.
