Good, disagree with Toph's actions
I really didn't feel like this comic represented Toph well. I like all the other comics but the way they betrayed Toph didn't sit with me well. It didn't fit her character. While she may be blunt, she is also clear sighted, like with knowing Zuko was best to train Aang in the series. In this comic, she could not see clearly and was completely clouded by emotions and it seemed just allowed to treat Aang who had been an amazing friend to her l crap, then get away with it. Katara did nothing about it either? Katara never had issue butting heads with Toph before, it's part of their friendship. Toph caused Aang to have to hurt/possibly kill a spirit which could deeply hurt him. There should have been more repercussions. It's not a healthy or seemingly very canon way to betray their friendship. The ending was decent and over all plot was good, so I just take away 1 star for the inaccurate character behavior of Toph.
Amazing comic
This is the newest addition to the series of avatar comics, and follows the same formatting as the others. The book is hardback and has quite a bit of weight to it compared to other books. The cover has vibrant colors, as do all of the pages contained in it. The only difference between this version of the comics and the individual volumes is that this contains all three volumes of Smoke and Shadow, has bigger pages, concept art, and notes from the creators in the margins of the pages. For the price, you would be losing money if you bought all the volumes individually, so I highly recommend getting this edition. As for the story, it's no worse than the other avatar comics. It's not better either, but maintains the same level of quality that you would expect from the avatar universe. The plot features Zuko as the main character, as does 2/3 of the other comic series, which can be disappointing if you're expecting much from other characters. The only plus to this is that Zuko's supporting characters are incredibly interesting, and the lore of the fire nation doubly so. Overall, this is an amazing book and I will continue to look forward to purchasing future avatar series comics.
Great and very enjoyable
Love the spirits, toph, avatar yangchen, and the original characters. Definitely read The Rift. I really enjoyed the parts of this that set up things that we see in the Legend of Korra universe too.
Go toph
Toph is badass.i mean see saved people from a mine calapase.again there are sweet kataang parts but still the focus is on toph and how awesome she is.Her dad though is seriously an idiot at first but he becomes better.But the storytelling in this is amazing I mean I want to shake the writers and illustrator’s hand for this I love it.And the part about aang’s history is good too.(this is again a review of all the rift pars)
The Old and The New Can Work Out!
I said five stars cause of the great story telling, great character growth. Especially Aang and Toph because their both very different characters. Yet they learn from each other, they still remaining friends and not enemies. It teaches the reader that we need all kinds of kinds people things activities and so forth.This story also makes it clear to the reader why they made The Promise and The search! When I look back at those stories I feelt The Promise was about certain change and looking forward to New things in the future with different race living together. The Search was about certain things staying the same and excepting it. Like Zuko staying firelord and Ozai still being Zuko's biological father. It make sense why they keep mentioning the past and the future in this book! Genius!!! All I can say is that we need more fight scenes and maybe better villains in the next story of Last Airbender but other then that keep up the good work.
Collecting the series
kids are collecting the series and love all the books
Not bad, kinda blah.
Having a hard time remembering what even happened. The Promise laid the foundation of Republic City, The Search gave us Azula's mother, and this...I guess we had something with Toph, but it was all a big blah. It wasn't a bad read, got to see some interesting spirits and see Avatar Yangchen (sp). With Korra having ended, hopefully the next comics will carry a little more weight.
It's awesome!
The newest condition I could ever dream of! You can definitely buy it and NOT regret it! Fantastic!
Shh! Reading
The graphic novel came in good condition, great read
Great!
A well written comic series. I was a bit bummed that they covered basically the same moral (that change is a good thing) as they did with The Promise. Overall I was very pleased with it, however it was not as exciting or as dramatic as The Search. This comic doesn't have as much Lore building as the previous two series do as well, The Search and The Promise are both very important in the Avatar world, however this one is just more of a fun read.
