About the Author

Gene Luen Yang began making comic books in the fifth grade. He has since written and drawn a number of titles. His 2006 book, American Born Chinese, was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award and the first to win the American Library Association's Michael L. Printz Award. It also won an Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album-New. His 2013 two-volume graphic novel, Boxers & Saints, was nominated for both the National Book Award and the LA Times Book Award. Gene currently writes the graphic novel continuation of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon, Avatar- The Last Airbender. The Shadow Hero, his comic book series with Sonny Liew, revived the Green Turtle, an obscure 1940s character who is arguably the first Asian-American superhero. The Shadow Hero is now available as individual digital issues via Amazon Kindle.

He's been wanting this book so bad after seeing a review on YouTube, so its a must have. He's 7 and already halfway through the book and really hoping to open the other one (but he has to continue being good).

5.0 out of 5 stars Better graphic novel than many things Marvel/DC are putting out. Touching story.

I'm going to get this out of the way: If you're in any way invested in the Avatar story, buy this graphic novel.

With that being said, I'll break down the bad and good of it:

The Bad:
The ending was disappointing. No not the reveal of what happened to Zuko's mom, that's pretty good. I'm talking about the finale events that just felt rushed and lazy. A lot of the plot points don't quite make sense, and this comic seems to suffer from what happens to entertainment content when they over embellish to make it simpler for the younger readers. In a way I can't fault them at all for this, Avatar TLA was created with younger people in mind, and honestly, the subject manner and lessons are pivotal more now than ever for that age group.

The Good:
So much outweighs the "bad" above, as the "bad" is typical nit-picking. As a stand alone piece of entertainment, it's 10/10 in both story, characters, and especially art. Honestly it's a triumph in its own right. Someone clearly put a lot of love in to this.
Probably the best aspect are how true to the original characters this was. This also includes Sokka, who although has some jokes that fall flat, overall was just as hilarious as the cartoon series. Everyone has their place, yes even Azula.

When I read this comic, I'm reminded that when people put actual effort in to their entertainment, they can achieve stunning feats of quality.

If you're an adult looking to buy extra Avatar content for your child, I highly recommend all of the graphic novels, but ESPECIALLY this one!
