Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Lost Adventures

After finishing the entire The Last Airbender series, I went and bought various extras including books like this one and 'The Promise: Part 1', and although The Promise has clearly had a lot more thought and care put into it in terms of following the canon and delivering a deep story, I think I might actually have enjoyed 'The Lost Adventures' a lot more.For one thing, it is great value, the book is a lot thicker than I had anticipated, which is always a pleasant surprise, especially in comparison to the first part of The Promise, which was tiny. This one kept me going for several days (though I did 'ration out' chapters to make it last longer).The stories vary from a couple of pages for a simple gag or two, two spreads of five or six pages which tell more of a story and even develop some of the characters we've come to know so well. Having this nice mix-up of themes and tones was far from distracting, but actually recreated the feel of the original show a lot better, which was known for having great comedy and heartfelt scenes, along with the adventure and action side of things. Since there's also a mixture of writers, and the masterminds DiMartino and Konietzko are not among them, it can be hit-and-miss in terms of the quality of the stories, but all in all there were a lot more hits than misses in my humble opinion. I really enjoyed a lot of the tales told, and some of them were a good laugh!The main issue that reviewers here seem to be having is with the changing of the art style from story to story due to different artists trying their hand, and that being distracting. On the contrary, I actually found this to be quite appealing - possibly because I'm a cartoonist/illustrator myself, I really enjoyed seeing different versions of the characters, and mixing up the artwork actually kept the stories more fresh and held my attention very well. Since the writing is usually pretty faithful to the characters anyway, it isn't like you can't recognise them from one story to another, even if the artwork is radically different.All in all, there's plenty to see, solid writing and interesting artwork to take in, so I would call this book a resounding success. If you miss the characters you've come to love in The Last Airbender and you're looking for more of their adventures, I would actually reccomend this book before 'The Promise'.

Great stories to expand on the tv show. Bought as a gift and they loved it!

Great value forMoney

Fantastic comic books my daughter is obsessed with. So pleased to encourage her reading with her favourite series

I'm a huge fan of the series, and i enjoyed reading this book. Some of the stories are pure gag stories, while others add somewhat to the plot (don't expect major plot tough). The stories are hilarious, and stay true to the spirit and humor of the show.The only thing anoying me (and dragging this down to 4 stars) is the constant shift in art style, however this is something that can not be avoided with this kind of collection, having so many different artist work on the same book. Most of the artists however do a fantastic job, some may be going a little to far away from the original art style, but i still like most of it, and there are only a couple i actually dislike (sorry to any fans of his out there, but i simply do not care for Corey Lewis' art). So while the shift in art is anoying me, the quality of the differet art styles keeps it to a minimum.So to all the Avatar fans out there, buy this book, but don't expect more than it is: a collection of short side-stories.

Exceeded expectstions, even. Legit wasn't expecting as many stories as the book actually contained. A great surprise 😊

Christmas gift for grandaughter, she was over the moon with it.

Great comics. Just what I was looking for after finishing the series and missing all the characters very much

No es necesario, pero si eres o te consideras un fan, es un libro muy bonito para tener.Si tienes ediciones en español de los otros cómics no va a combinar el lomo con los demás, queda un poco disparejo.

I loved the Avatar series and bought this book to further learn about the characters. I really enjoyed reading this. Anyone who loves the series should pick up this comic book.
