The story is great
Great to see the series dealing with Zuko’s family again, this is a great comic.👍

Better graphic novel than many things Marvel/DC are putting out. Touching story.
I'm going to get this out of the way: If you're in any way invested in the Avatar story, buy this graphic novel.With that being said, I'll break down the bad and good of it:The Bad:The ending was disappointing. No not the reveal of what happened to Zuko's mom, that's pretty good. I'm talking about the finale events that just felt rushed and lazy. A lot of the plot points don't quite make sense, and this comic seems to suffer from what happens to entertainment content when they over embellish to make it simpler for the younger readers. In a way I can't fault them at all for this, Avatar TLA was created with younger people in mind, and honestly, the subject manner and lessons are pivotal more now than ever for that age group.The Good:So much outweighs the "bad" above, as the "bad" is typical nit-picking. As a stand alone piece of entertainment, it's 10/10 in both story, characters, and especially art. Honestly it's a triumph in its own right. Someone clearly put a lot of love in to this.Probably the best aspect are how true to the original characters this was. This also includes Sokka, who although has some jokes that fall flat, overall was just as hilarious as the cartoon series. Everyone has their place, yes even Azula.When I read this comic, I'm reminded that when people put actual effort in to their entertainment, they can achieve stunning feats of quality.If you're an adult looking to buy extra Avatar content for your child, I highly recommend all of the graphic novels, but ESPECIALLY this one!

Superb
Everyone who watched Last Airbender left with one question. What happened to Zuko's mom? This story starts and ends amazingly. In the middle, it seems to get off course, but it wraps up nicely.

This book has a deep meaning about identities, and I’d like to see more martial arts
[spoiler alert for others who haven’t read this yet]This graphic novel is another great work of Avatar The Last Airbender AND with the collaboration with Gene Luen Yang and other great artists. Met my expectations.Feedback: I loved the part where there was an entity called “The Mother of Faces”. It was really deep! Just like Gene’s own graphic novel “American Born Chinese” that surrounds the theme of identities.I also loved the improved faces that the illustrators drew! The way they drew the wide smiles on their faces are so cute and beautiful, and Asoka looks so cute now because he’s the funny guy and now in this book he gets to have all those funny and wholesomely cute faces.One thing that I wish to see more is the element bending actions. In the animated series, their martial arts/ element bending movements were really fascinating and I kept rewatching them. But in this novel (example in the pictures), I didn’t get to see a lot of actions and movements. It may take a lot of time to draw small movements but I really like the element bending martial arts, and all I see in this book is just mostly “swoosh” and “zap” and “zzzzt-krackle” which aren’t fascinating at all. In the animated series (I’m going to take Azula as an example because it’s not much of a spoiler that she’s going to bend lightning), we can see the mesmerizing actions that come before every shot. But in this book, it’s just: “zzzzzzttt-krackle”This is just like a normal book without graphics, something like this, “Azula points her fingers at Zuko, and lightning comes out of her finger tips.” And I kind of expected a graphic novel to actually show some movements that a regular book can’t describe well with words.

Read it. 'Nuff said.
Worth every second of waiting since the words "Where is my mother?" were uttered back in 2008. This volume not only gives a satisfactory answer to one of the biggest unanswered questions of the animated series, it does so while crafting a fantastic standalone story and further fleshing out the characters of Ursa and Ozai. I don't know how it's possible, but you will grow to hate Ozai in this graphic novel even more than you already did. Azula is fantastic - Gene Luen Yang did a fantastic job of maintaining her complexities and menace while giving her a compelling arc moving forward. There's a reveal partway into the story that I wasn't sure how I felt about, but by the end I think they did a great job of explaining things without taking away from the impact of said revelations. There were even characters introduced halfway through that I felt were a little unnecessary, but by the end I realized just how integral and properly woven into the story they truly were. And the artwork....Gurihiru really outdid themselves this time, especially in the facial expressions and coloring. My one real beef is that Katara is kind of relegated to just Aang's girlfriend and a fighter on Team Avatar, not getting any significant character moments, but with how much else is going on I can forgive this novel for it. If you're an Avatar fan, this is a must-read.

Simply love it
It's a great story of how what can change a person can change his destiny. I'm glad for Zuko and his maturity in these latter stories. And I'm sorry for Azula who chooses not to be at peace because it doesn't fit her scheme of things, a reminder that if we don't let go of pain it will consume us. I think the question of Zuko's mom was nicely answered though I'm not sure why the spirit of faces reappeared like that in the end. But it's a good read with great art and I'll be checking out what else I've missed out on all these years with this band of friends and their motley adventures.

5 Stars for great stories!
I'm grateful that I read this story for what and when it all happened and all of this that journey has continued from the SEASON FINALE as I like to call it FINAL BOOK AND CHAPTERS and I'm grateful that I bought this book thank you.

Com um pequeno amassado, mas fora isso em perfeitas condições.
A capa e as páginas iniciais vieram com um pequeno amassado (como na foto), mas nada demais, desamassei e prensei na minha estante e tudo resolvido! Fora isso veio bem embalado, em ótimas condições e bem antes do prazo previsto! Linda edição da HQ.

Great reading for your little airbender fan
He's been wanting this book so bad after seeing a review on YouTube, so its a must have. He's 7 and already halfway through the book and really hoping to open the other one (but he has to continue being good).

Amazing addition to the show for any fan!
I love it! The comic itself is great and I look forward to reading it again in some time. It's for sure an amazing addition to the show. The package came on time, however, my order arrived slightly damaged due to poor packaging - 2 of my comics were only placed in a cardboard envelope with no additional protection, and sadly "The Search" has some bends on the cover in some places. Despite the slight packaging issue, I am still delighted with my purchase overall.
