I am a big fan of the TV show, and this comic gave me the Avatar fix I have been craving since the show ended! It's not very long, but it still has enough to make you want to read the next one!

A year after the war has ended, Aang and his friends are trying to move the Fire Nation colonies out of the Earth Kingdom - The question is, will they succeed? Is the new Fire Lord Zuko going to follow in his father's footsteps after so desperately trying to be different? I can't wait to read the next one!

I love this little gang but I don't think I'll ever get used to Aang and Katara being a thing.

You have just finished the final episode of book three of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, and are excited for more stories featuring the Aang Gang. You think Legend of Korra looks cool, but you wish there was a story that would link together these separate stories and justify the canon time skip between the end of ATLA and the opening of Korra. Something with your favorite characters, going on adventures and staying best friends in a post-war world.

So you end up months later with the first volume of The Promise in your hands, book one in a three book series, and you wonder if this is what you asked for. The answer to that question, like a lot of things, is mixed. This is not to say that The Promise's premiere volume is a total wash, but for me it was not the successful comic I was looking for as a long-term ATLA fan to satisfy my Aang and friends cravings. Although if you come into it just for Toph, you will not be disappointed.

You can read my complete review of The Promise Part One over at my anime/manga blog.
