By Bryan Konietzko Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search Part 1 (Avatar: The Last Airbender (Dark Horse)) Paperback – 19 Mar. 2013

In my opinion,there is no better bad guy that Azula ! I just can't get over that she escaped from her restraints...,and even took advantage of being Chi-blocked ! Is there nothing Azula can't do ?! Azula even got the better of Zukowhen he brought her some tea,on a tray as a peace offering,awesome ! I must admit to being sad when Kataradefeated Azula...,although I know that Katara has become an experienced fighter too,it's just thatI LOVE AZULA !!The creators have come up with the ultimate in absolute power and mastery of the elements in Azula.I read and re-read Azula's escape time and time again...,using Zuko's fire blast to shatter her chains...,it just doesn't get any better than that.At the bottom of page 43,Azula has the most disgusted scowl Ever !So...,this book explores just what happened to Ursa,Lord Suko's Mother.Obviously we don't know what to think because we know so little about her and her past.Is Ursa an innocent bride taken away from her childhood friend or is she a bit of a witch ?There is a slight misunderstanding at the beginning of this book where Azula asks Ty Leeand Suki why they betrayed her and how did 'she' convince them to change sides.They both reply that they don't know what Azula is talking about.You see,the mystery might havemore than a little to do with Ursa,was she secretive and manipulative ?Did she live a complicated life...,so far,we just don't know.But I aim to find out by buying books 2 & 3 in The Search series.All the Avatar books are great creations filled with brilliant characters and engaging plot lines.You have to read each book several times to catch all the little extras going on in the background.I've loved reading comic books and graphic novels all my life and rate Avatar up there with the best.

What is there to really be said about this. If you're a fan of the tv show Avatar the last air bender you'l enjoy this comic. Its a fun story with an interesting art style. You'll get further showings of your favorite characters like Aang and Katara among others. It really fills in that post series ending story. The tv show ends with the fall of the fire nation but we don't realy get to see what happens next. How is the peace kept? What does Aang do? we learn a bit of it during the legend of Korra but there is a lot of story to be told. I can't wait to buy more of these and keep going. It'll keep the withdrawral symptoms of the show ending at bay at the very least. The comics tone is so similar that I can very easily read the different characters in their actual voices. On to the next one

Loved the comic. Went back a bought the full omnibus

This comic picks up pretty much straight after The last arc The promise, with the same great art work and writing that is seamless to the show. To me these comics are season 4.

I think most people would like to know what happened to Zuko's mother, but it's really hard to tell how good the story is with part 2 missing. I recommend buying part 2 with this as it does leave with a slight cliff hanger.

This was a great way to carry on the Avatar series with an group of epic book. I totally recommend it.

Loves avatar books

I love avatar and it was really really relaxing knowing what happens after the series.It is a great book. It was worth the price!! 😘

Me encanta la historia

A história é boa mas comparada com outras histórias desse universo, ela é mais fraca.

Came in PERFECT condition. Been waiting to get this book for ages, I got it as a Birthday present from my family. Only read a few pages so far but the story is amazing. I recommend it

As a fan of TLA I always wandered what was the story of Zuko's mother and here now I know what happened. The story is very loyal to the TV series and has 3 tomes (i bought them all for myself mwhahaha). The characters ressembled the series, and even Azula has a role in it. I'm French and in France we cannot even find the TV series in English (VO) so it's a shame :/ but now I have the Search trilogy. The design is also very nice, and color and paper has a nice quality i think.
