The obvious thing for them to do now would be to question its existance and search for answers. They come upon a statue Aang believed was Avatar Yangchen, but instead the statue looks different. This reminds him of Avatar Yangchen day and he takes the gang out to celebrate. Aang has a vision where he sees what we assume is Avatar Yangchen. This story begins reasonably with a feast celebrating the new elected leaders of Yu Dao (the city that will become Republic City). While some may argue that it is too early to judge as this is only the first installment of a trilogy for the series, I still feel that there are glaring errors or simply weird, baffling moments that would not exist if this story was done properly. Sadly this comic book only fulfilled my expectations. When The Rift Part One came out I was hesitant to be excited as my most recent experiences with Avatar content has been disappointing. While those were my complaints for the last part of that series, most of the series was an entertaining read. The ending of The Search was fairly ridiculous with them letting Azula go free and Zuko being reunited with his mother was done in a far too convenient way. But as an avid fan of the franchise, my disappointment grows. I don't want to say this because everything about Avatar was unbelievably awesome for the whole of The Last Airbender and most of the first season of The Legend of Korra was quality.
It appears that all Avatar content since the beginning of season two of The Legend of Korra has been going downhill. Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher Diamond Book Distributors/Dark Horse Comics. Judging from the scheme of events in this series, Toph is going to get a lot of character focus. I certainly look forward to see where this particular series goes, even with the reveal at the end. I think this is still a series that many who follow the Avatar:TLA universe will enjoy for what it offers. The artwork has stunning clarity and consistency, the balance of humor and tension is engaging, and the story itself has promise as it builds through the volume. I continue to be impressed with the level of storytelling and characterizations in these graphic novels. Aang worries further with visions he has of Avatar Yangchen, of future events or past he isn't sure, but there are more than a few surprises with the group as they discover the workings of the refinery, and the people behind them. But Aang's surprised to find that not all is as he remembered when the sacred lands are settled by a group of Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom groups working a refinery, which is causing the land to be polluted. Gene Luen Yang, Michael Dante DiMartino, and Bryan Koneitzko team up for the newer series "The Rift." This story starts with Aang taking a journey with the group to honor the memory of one of the former Avatars, Avatar Yangchen. Another strong start to the next installment in the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series.
