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:

Listen, I loved being in this world again & it really felt like episodes of the show on paper but a couple things irked me. First of all, the sweetie & oogie stuff was unbearably cringe & felt very out of character, I know Aang & Katara are a new couple but it felt wrong. Also, this largely felt like colonial propaganda?? Maybe I’m just lacking nuance in my read of this but it did not sit entirely right with me .
