I’m so happy to be continuing on the journey from the animated series to Korra. This graphic novel asked some difficult questions about colonization and appropriation. I had a really tough time picturing Aang and especially Katara calling each other “sweetie.”

3 stars.
- I think some of the character development that was in the show was lost in this comic. I still love the characters, I just wanted more from them.
- The art is great! I prefer the show over the comic books, but the art style works really well for Avatar: The Last Airbender in my opinion.
- The humor still comes across in comic format, which I really appreciate.
- I think The Promise was meant to set the rest of the comic books, so I didn't love this first installment in the series. (I liked The Search a lot more.)
Content Warnings:
Graphic: colonization, racism
Moderate: fire violence, insomnia, cultural appropriation
Minor: forced insitution/imprsonment, fainting, confinement

I was late to the show, so of course I'm late to the comics. Love seeing the continuation of the story. The team that worked on this book captured the characters and the world so well, I could hear the voices from the show as I read.
