I didn’t like Toph’s students, but I liked Chong and Toph’s conversation/the moral of the story.

A fun mostly standalone story about Toph! I've appreciated these recent Avatar comics that tell stories taking place between other larger plots, and this one is no exception. Toph is always an engaging character, and this comic helps to fill in the gaps of Toph's progression from the version of her seen in the original show to the version of her in Legend of Korra.
I appreciated the elements connecting this comic to other parts of the Avatar universe, such as the return of Toph's metalbending students and exploration of other bending techniques seen in Legend of Korra. I do think these returning characters make what is otherwise a standalone comic less accessible as a point of entry to a new reader, but this is not a downside, just a note for any considering picking this one up before any others, since it is not necessarily clear at first glance where in the timeline it takes place.
The art is gorgeous as ever, very faithful to the style that's been used throughout most of the series.
Overall definitely enjoyed this one, and recommend it to any fans of the Avatar comics!

Mild peril/violence, to the level typical of the rest of the series.
