Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Search, Part 1

Ordered for my 7yr old grandson to continue the series. He loves to read & loves this cartoon series!!

As a huge fan of this series, though admittedly not until after the series had nearly ended on TV, I want to love every bit of ancillary Avatar: The Last Airbender fiction. I got so hyped for the live action movie, and was so let down. I wanted mote Avatar, more GOOD Avatar, and eventually went searching for news from the creators of the cartoon. That's when I stumbled on the existence of the comics, and I knew I had to buy them. So I gathered up old Amazon gift cards to alleviate the strain on my wallet, and bought The Promise and the first two parts of The Search (part three was not published yet) all at once, and I am so glad that I did. The art is beautiful, and the story so immediately captures the tone and pace of the cartoon that before long it was like watching the show again, which was in turn like revisiting an old friend.As for this particular installment, it is a fantastic beginning to a story that, as an Avatar fan, I felt genuinely NEEDED to be told. The decision to include the antagonistic Azula in the party for this adventure was a stroke of genius (she's my favorite character) as this is the closest that the protagonists and she have ever come to having common goals. All in all, I could not be happier that I own this, and re-read it as regularly as I re-watch episodes of the show.

My eight year old son hates reading and I suspect he may have a reading disability. I’ve been trying to get him interested in different books but he has been very resistant. He loves the Avatar tv show and this was the perfect book for him. We read it together yesterday and tonight I found him in bed with it. I have ordered a bunch more comic books from this series!

From the first quarter of the comic, I could tell this was going to be a real treat. I know many people, myself included, thought that The Promise was a bit of a let-down, with the possible exception of the end of the series and it's predictable, but well-done conclusion. With The Search, we are given multiple story lines to follow, a great set-up for tension with Azula assisting Team Avatar in a journey that will answer one of the biggest questions of the original series. As if that weren't enough, we have spirit world interference with a crazy spirit wolf and a twist at the end that will explain so much about Zuko and Ozai, but will still leave us with much more questions. This was a great read, and I strongly recommend purchasing it.

I've been in the Avatar fandom for a good long time, and, of course, I had jumped at the opportunity of the printed comics: The Promise, and The Search. I had been waiting for the Gaang's new adventures, and the idea of solving the mystery that is Zuko's mom, Ursa? That sounds better than finding out who Lin Beifong's dad is.In comparison to The Promise trilogy (a sequel to the original series, a prequel to The Search), The Search, is, well, more promising. The art style is the same as the Promise: slightly rounder than the cartoon, but still easily recognized as our favorite characters. The characters seem a little more in-character. And I've always had a soft spot for Azula, our beloved crazy princess. Her prominence in this story, as well as the parallels between Zuko and Azula and Sokka and Katara, still leave me hope for the rest of this trilogy. The plot is pretty intriguing, Azula's insanity drives the story, and with a bit of imagination, it's almost like we had the old series back. But not quite.I do miss the presence of Toph, and I still wonder if Mai will ever make another appearance. That aside, I'll keep up with this plot. The chances of actually finding out what happened to Ursa, though... That's a whole different story. We'll just have to see.

The Last Airbender TV series was a great show that is entertaining for all ages. It has action, adventure, and comedy. The comic series serves as a filler and answers a lot of questions left with the ending of the TV show (probably the biggest is what happened to Zuko's mom; this gets answered in The Search books). It's not black and white (thank goodness) and the colors are clean and vivid. The flow of the books is very much like watching the show; there is still the same action and comedy and once you get absorbed, it feels like you're watching the show again. Definitely worth reading.

Love these Avatar graphic novels. Great great reading with the kids. 5 stars for sure! Highly recommend this as well as all the others and the classic Nickelodeon shows

My son is a little obsessed with Avatar. We have watched all the movies and series multiple times. I got him this book and he was super excited and would show me some of the scenes in the book and I would hear him giggling with something Aang said or a facial expression from Sako. Made my mama heart happy.

The artwork is amazing like in the series and the story still shows all of their personalities. I can hear the voice actors saying the words in my head because it sounds like things they would say.

Good purchase

A história é boa mas comparada com outras histórias desse universo, ela é mais fraca.

Awesome book. Would recommend reading for anyone who likes avatar the last airbender. They learn about zukos mother Ursa with azula

Il fumetto è arrivato in breve tempo e in perfette condizioni, il suo contenuto è qualcosa di strepitoso, lo consiglio.
