Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Search, Part 1 Paperback – Illustrated, March 19, 2013

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!

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.

Great

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

Compared to 'The Promise' series, 'The Search' series already seems more promising and better plot development. The Promise almost seemed like the character development went back to square one. Zuko started having doubts about himself, the fire nation and the earth kingdom were not at peace, as the last airbender TV series seemed to portray that that is where the nations stood. 'The Search' set up a more promising plot development for this amazing series. The Promise didn't really do any plot development. Although the 'secret' that this book revealed was shocking to all of us, I have faith on the creators, Micheal and Bryan, and even Gene Yang, that they will bring more epic story devolpment to this series, as well as The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra in a whole. Overall, I still give this book a 5/5.

So here I am back reviewing another Avatar comic. The Promise was a disappointment but this one, I'm actually happy with.Dark Horse granted my wish and are doing comics focusing on finding Zuko's mother. Anyone whose watched the series knows this is the issue they teased at us about and we never got any answers. This book does this. While most of the cast are in the background, I actually don't mind, even though Toph isn't in the book for unknown reasons and they still push the Aang and Katara relationship in our faces, but only on a couple of pages so I can deal. I'm happy the writers wrote Azula just right, I was afraid that they would completely mess her character but it's actually great! We get to see into her mind and how she is coping with her mental state. We also get to see early memories of Ursa and how she became Ozai's wife. Spoilers: it's not that happy of a marriage to begin with. We also learn a long kept secret that I don't want to spoil.Overall, this is the comic they should of started with, let's just hope it only gets better. This is a great pick for any Zuko fan or anyone who just wants Ursa found.

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.
