3 stars.
- I think some of the character development that was in the show was lost in this comic. I still love the characters, I just wanted more from them.
- The art is great! I prefer the show over the comic books, but the art style works really well for Avatar: The Last Airbender in my opinion.
- The humor still comes across in comic format, which I really appreciate.
- I think The Promise was meant to set the rest of the comic books, so I didn't love this first installment in the series. (I liked The Search a lot more.)
Content Warnings:
Graphic: colonization, racism
Moderate: fire violence, insomnia, cultural appropriation
Minor: forced insitution/imprsonment, fainting, confinement

I love everything ATLA and it was great revisiting the characters in a new setting. The story feels very authentic to everything that's come out of the universe before and so do the characters.
I only feel like the story maybe moved a bit too quickly, but maybe I just wish there were more to read 🙃. Can't wait to start The Search!
