Real Rating: 4 1/2I have to say, I think these books are finally coming into their own. Not that I disliked the first two trilogies, but they had flaw after flaw. Not that this one doesn't have some flaws as well, but I enjoyed it more than the others.First off, the art. I've always enjoyed the art of these books, but I think the style has grown on me even more. I'm not a huge artist, but there's a few panels that I want to sketch out because I thought they were so beautiful.I also love the nods...

I love one Toph Beifong so much

3.5 starsToph is the main character here! She is dealing with everything that she tried to run away from - her family, stifling traditions and restrictions, etc. At first this causes conflict between her and Aang as he tried to revive an old Air Nomad festival, but they have made up by the end.Best line was from Iroh, finishing up his stint as the interim Fire Lord and on his way back to Ba Sing Se:I had much more fun .. and more tea.. than I had expected! The National Tea Appreciation Day was a...

Another strong start to the next installment in the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series. Gene Luen Yang, Michael Dante DiMartino, and Bryan Koneitzko team up for the newer series "The Rift." This story starts with Aang taking a journey with the group to honor the memory of one of the former Avatars, Avatar Yangchen. But Aang's surprised to find that not all is as he remembered when the sacred lands are settled by a group of Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom groups working a refinery, which is causin...

This first part???? That ending? Are you KIDDING?

I enjoyed the beginning of this story and the fact that we get to see more of Toph than in the last story line! This introduces a couple of new things; a long forgotten Air nomad tradition that Aang wants to complete (after a past Avatar shows him visions) as well as a factory that has taken up residence on sacred land. There is a mystery surrounding the factory and Aang and co. must find out what is really going on. But as Aang tries to preserve his past, Toph comes face to face with hers! I am...

Some scattered thoughts:1. Toph is awesome. I love her. More Toph.2. I like how the conflict between Aang and Toph was handled here. It felt authentic, and not manufactured.3. It might be my imagination, but I think the art is finally aging the characters up?4. I hope this series goes on for a long time.5. Only complaint: Isn't it too early for machines to show up in this world? I'd like to see a timeline for industrialization in the Avatar world. I just realized how nerdy that sounded.

❝Don't you think you're trying a little too hard to hold on to the past?❞❝Maybe, but don't you think you're trying a little too hard to run away from it?❞❝Not everybody's past is like yours, Aang. Some of us have to run away just to... just to live.❞ I really enjoyed The Rift: Part One! Gurihiru continues to amaze me with their stunning art. Every page I turned, I was greeted with beautiful artwork. The art alone is enough of a reason for me to continue reading the Avatar: The Last Airbender

It appears that all Avatar content since the beginning of season two of The Legend of Korra has been going downhill. I don't want to say this because everything about Avatar was unbelievably awesome for the whole of The Last Airbender and most of the first season of The Legend of Korra was quality. But as an avid fan of the franchise, my disappointment grows.The ending of The Search was fairly ridiculous with them letting Azula go free and Zuko being reunited with his mother was done in a far to...

this one was a liiiittle boring for my taste but i appreciate the cliff hanger and the focus on toph’s character.

"Don't you think you're trying a little too hard to hold on to the past?""Maybe, but don't you think you're trying a little too hard to run away from it?""Noy everybody's past is like yours, Aang, some of us have to run away just to... just to live." I don't really know how I feel about this one. It made mad at some points, but the end was kinda ok and realistic. I mean it felt very human. Yet, the fact that I was mad most of it doesn't feel good to me.I suppose I'll have to see how things go

4/5 stars.I haven't read any Avatar comics for a while and ahhhhhhh this was great. Onto the next one!

I'd rate this book higher if I was more familiar with Avatar: The Last Airbender mythology, which I heard was an excellent animated series.Still, it wasn't a bad book, I'm just not the right target audience for it. Despite it, I still felt the enjoyment of reading it.

*2.5I swear, some of these comics are so weird.The plot of this one isn't bad, but everyone seems so out of character. Aang already saw a place where Air Nomad history was taken over; this is just a sacred meadow. Katara doesn't do much except support Aang, and Sokka is just degraded into an idiot. Toph is the worst here - I get that she's going through stuff with her past, but she's so harshly at everyone's throats that it feels like they just met her. Toph is a Slytherin, for sure, but she car...

Review for all three parts under the cut.(view spoiler)[WOOOOH I’M DONE!Part one: OH SHIT TOPH’S DAD SHOWED UP. Though I can’t really say I feel very bad for her; I can’t wait for her to grow up and stop being so disrespectful and flippant to what’s important to the people she calls her friends. Speaking with Aang about the fact that the refinery is the future he’s working towards could have gone much more gently and respectfully. It is VERY rude to disrespect another’s culture and traditions. T...

ARC provided by Dark Horse Comics through Netgalley While out with the Avatar Team and General Iroh in the Earth Kingdom, Aang sees a vision of past Avatar Yangchen who tries to warn him of something which he can't hear.Convinced Avatar Yangchen is asking him to reinstate a traditional Air Nomad celebration in her honour, Aang sets out with the Avatar Team and his new air acolytes to celebrate Yangchen's Festival. But things do not go as planned, and Aang's need to reconnect with the pas

I seriously love all these

Read on Libby. I love to follow Toph's journey. 😂

YES TOPH 👏
