Minus half a star for Aang and Katara's constant 'sweetie's (they're cute but I agree with Sokka, they gave me the 'oogies')

Minor: Genocide, Colonisation, Cultural appropriation, and War
Nothing detailed or explicit as it's a children's books, but it delicately handles the aftermath of these mattersrafacolog's review against another edition

3.0
- I think some of the character development that was in the show was lost in this comic. I still love the characters, I just wanted more from them.
- The art is great! I prefer the show over the comic books, but the art style works really well for Avatar: The Last Airbender in my opinion.
- The humor still comes across in comic format, which I really appreciate.
- I think The Promise was meant to set the rest of the comic books, so I didn't love this first installment in the series. (I liked The Search a lot more.)
