Dark Horse Books Avatar: The Last Airbender The Promise Library Edition
A**A
The consistencies in writing between the show and comic is seamless. Highly, highly recommend
WOW, the book is huge.The artwork is truly beautiful and the commentary along the side of the comic, that comes with this library edition, are excellent peeks inside the mind of the creators on how they thought up the actions of the characters and story.The consistencies in writing between the show and comic is seamless. The writing is great and the voices of the characters is on point.The Promise is comprised of all 3 parts of the mini arc. The Promise picks up right where season 3 left off... as in right from where it left off. Zuko is now the Fire Lord and has decreed that all fire nation colonies are to be evacuate from the Earth Kingdom under the Harmony act that he and Aang came up with together. Everything seems to be going exactly as all expected. However things are never as easy as that in Avatar.If you're a fan of Avatar then I highly, highly recommend you read this graphic novel. You really won't regret it!I also got the Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Art of the Animated Series at the same time and again very happy with that also.

The story continues...
This is a great piece. Having watched all of the original to show on tv and getting to the last episode of with it saying the end I had always hoped there would be more of Aang's story.I was unaware that these books had been produced until now, so though it would be good to get the hardback collection edition.This has been clearly planned out; giving a beautifully made expansion on the original tv shows story.This is a something that every avatar fan should own.I will now continue by getting all of the other books as there are still lots of things yet unexplained, which I need to learn the answers to.

Oh my god
Just finished watching Avatar for the 2nd time.I didn't expect, that this book would LITERALLY continue the last episode. Even showing scenes from the last episode so it really does feel like a continuation!! It feels like I can get lost in this book, like I did with the TV show, I love the world they created, it's like it never ended.It's the first Library edition i've read. Only a few pages in, but let me tell you; so far the characters all seem exactly how they would act in the show and the drawings appear to be very accurate. Their personalities are spot on. Having a blast so far. This is literally the first time i've ever looked forward to reading a book EVER. I am not normally a book reader, but I thought i'd try because I need something to do before bed that doesn't involve staring at a TV screen because it makes me feel awfully tired the next day. Anyway. RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE THE AVATAR SERIES (best animated TV series of all time in my opinion!!!)

a worthwhile purchase!!
if you loved the tv series and want more, this is a great book for you.it's the first of the avatar comics and picks off right where the series ended. i thought it was a really good story, as compelling and thoughtful as the series. i liked that every character features in this comic so your fave will be there!the library edition, although pricey, is really worth investing in since you get:- all parts of the promise (1-3) in one book with a nice hardcover- little notes from the author and illustrators in the margins, which are really nice to read as you're reading the story because they add that little bit of extra context or are just fun to know!

Amazing!
IN LOVE with this version. You get little annotations at the side that give you deeper knowledge of the making of the comic and extra sketches at the end of the book. The quality is amazing. The paper feels good, the colours are vibrant and over all it's an amazing book. Either I'm a fast reader or it's a short story but I read it in one afternoon. Loved every bit of it. Highly recommend.
