Holy crap, just because Zuko is the firelord is the only reason i'll read it

I'm definitely going to buy all 3 graphic novels.

Zuko is looking sharp. After that terrible terrible remake of the hollywood movie version by M. Night Shyamalan all hope was lost. But this pretty much restored it. Thank you!

Avatar was the last good thing to come from Nick, so I definitely need this.

Zuko indeed looks good in his new gear. Interesting, might look for it to tie until Korra.

Yay! I love Toph's new look. She looks awesome. And Aang is absolutely adorable. ^_^

I will get it when available

I want Sokka to have a sword again. The artwork made it look like his boomerang was almost like a sword. Anyways, Zuko looks great.

Nov 30, 2011 by AlphaOtaku7

Yup, most definitely picking this one up. Can't wait.

Nov 30, 2011 by Femmerd

Good that they make this! Hope for an animation :3

How kind of Dark Horse to share this with CR News (or at least I assume them to be the deciding party). Indeed this seems a likely location for reasonably large access of people withing its audience. Indeed the art is good. Enjoyable. While I normally don't associate myself as a reading type, this reminds me that maybe the additional stimuli of color is what I need.

lol Awesome! I'll definitely read them but i dont think he meant fill in the gap of 70 years from Anime end to Korra beginning with 3 books. Super time jumping! I can just imagine Sokka will complain that everyone changed so much and he only gets a zigzag pattern on his tunic... then after a while he will be proud of it and brag about it too xD
