Avatar: The Last Airbender--Smoke and Shadow Omnibus

Following the events of Avatar: the last Airbender "The Search", this comic follows what happened to Azula after.This is a great comic for Avatar fans with a compelling plot and with characters you know and love with some spotlight on characters you don't typically see under it. The fourth graphic novel trilogy is packed with stunning art and quality writing.And yes although the spines aren't aligned which is a little annoying, To anyone thinking of buying this book, don't let the negative reviews deter you. The actual content of the book is great and that's what REALLY matters right?

I could not put this down untill it was finished, amazing story telling

The comic itself is great, but the spine doesn't match the others. Also, it arrived damaged, which kinda sucks.

My granddaughter was absolutely delighted with the book.

My 8 year old detests reading and I compromised with him that he can read comics instead of chapter books, as long as it is an AR book. He finished this twice in two days!

Misaligned spine aside, I personally found the story to be slightly disappointing - particularly in the case of Azula. Not gonna get into spoilers here but she was the most disappointing part of the story. Not a bad story overall but probably the weakest of the all the ATLA comics in my opinion.

As other people pointed out, they really messed up the spine graphic alignment. Tragic!(my 7 year old daughter throughly enjoyed it still)

As the title suggests, reading these comics is like being transported back into The Last Airbender world

This is a fantastic book that continues the post-series adventures of Avatar characters. The art is straight out of the show and characters are well fleshed out and match their on screen depiction.Some Zuko & Mai shippers may be disappointed by this book. But I think a teenage love triangle fits in with the themes of the show. It has a strong focus on family values with Zuko and his mother and sister as well as Mai and her father and brother. All the feel good stuff you expect from the world of the last airbender.
