North and South, Part 3 by Bryan Konietzko, Michael Dante DiMartino, Gene Luen Yang
4.0
North and South is not the best story of all the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics, but I'm still happy to have read it. Whereas it was somewhat tiring to encounter yet another political issue, it was interesting to read about the struggles between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes. It shows where the still lingering issues during Korra's era came from. In that aspect, North and South forms a good transition.
Also kudos to Gurihiru, because the way all the characters are drawn really shows that time has passed. They all look older but in a subtle enough way that everyone is still recognizable.
That having been said, I am still left with quite a few questions. Since this is the last comic of Gene Luen Yang (x Gurihiru), I had hoped for a bit more closure. I feel that there are still things left unresolved - not just for the North and South series, but Smoke and Shadow as well.
