Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise Part 1 Paperback – Illustrated, 24 Jan. 2012

The Avatar series both old and new are great and rarely,if ever,disappoint.Yeah yeah,I know,it's about Zuko...,again but still,it's all good.I like Toph and her down to earth attitude,the way she explains fireworksto Sokka.Not forgetting the lovely Katara and the way she levels her attackerswhen she and Aang visit Yu Dao.It started with Katara just wanting to put outthe small fire in Aang's clothing,ha ha.All great stuff with the usual battles,failed diplomacy,and family 'doom and gloom'.Excellent artwork of course and some great dialoque along with the renowned facialexpressions.Women worriors make up at least 50% of the characters and deservedly so.What would Avatar be without the Women worriors,right ?So 10/10 for Avatar,the last airbender,as if anything less than 10 was even possible...

I was a huge fan of the animated series A:TLA and was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Promise Part 1. It was everything I hoped for and more. It picked up the various plot lines perfectly where they left off and continues them with the same witty, intelligent, thought-provoking and yet perfectly appropriate style that made the animated series so excellent. I was so caught up with it I read it all in one go and quickly pre ordered Part 2 as well! A must read :)

I'm a huge fan of the series, and i really enjoyed reading this. It starts right where the show stopped, and continues the story of our heroes. In all aspects it stays true to the spirit and humor of the show. Since this is only the first part, not much has been revealed yet, but hopefully this will answer some of the unanswered questions we all have, like what happened to Zuko's mother. Either way the story is good, and im really looking forward to the two next chapters, i just wished they would have been here before Legend of Korra, but oh well, it's not like it's critical.

I'm a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'm extremely happy with the way The Promise seems to be shaping up.First of all, the art style is fantastic, and very true to the original series. And Second of all, the story has started off very well. Can't wait for Part Two.A must-buy for any A: TLA fan.

Having just finished the series of The Last Airbender and not being quite ready to delve into Legend of Korra, I went on a hunt to find material to extend my enjoyment of the old show, and The Promise seemed to be received quite positively, so I thought I'd give this a shot.After reading, I can say it's really great! As an avid fan at this point I was keeping my eyes and fanboy-sense peeled for anything that was out of order with the canon, or things likes characters doing/saying things they wouldn't in the show, and it was pretty tight! It was co-written by the show's creators though, so that'll be why. It definitely does the job nicely of extending the series, and so far it's set up an interesting plot - one that isn't just black and white, good and evil, which is always nice to see. As long as they stay on track and stay true to the world of the show as they have so far, this is going to end up being an awesome set of books that I look forward to reading.The only things I'm not thrilled about is that the books are being released very slowly (luckily I chose the right time to buy this one, since book 2 is coming out this month, but after that I'll have to wait with the rest of the fandom), so the story's going to be left hanging and incomplete for long stretches of time, which is unfortunate because it's going to leave a nagging feeling in the back of my mind for months (especially after the actual ending of TLA rounded the story off so nicely). That, and Amazon's price is a little high considering how short the book is (I tried to pace myself to make it last but it's hard not to finish the whole thing in 20-30 minutes, no exaggeration).Still, lovely art that really pops, nice writing, I look forward to more! Definitely worth a buy if you miss the TLA characters like I do.

Absolutely fantastic! They could be a bit longer, but I hope the writers will come up with many more... the stories are just brilliant. My partner and I (both adults) loved the series and now we discovered the comics. I have never been a comic person and I absolutely LOVE it.A lot of people will think this is just a kids series but its very political, extremely fun, sometimes very moving and a bit spiritual as well. I think this is great for both, adults and children!

I have finished both Avatar the last Airbender as well as the Legend of Korra and I could not believe in when I saw that there were graphic novels following on from ATLA. It was everything I expected it to be and was amazing. I would 100% recommend buying this product if you liked ATLA.

I think the book is great because it has a lot of action and it is very funny. I liked the word oogies because it made me laugh.
