Avatar: The Last Airbender | The Rift (Part One) created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, script by Gene Luen Yang, art by Gurihiru, lettering by Michael Heisler Although our son incessantly watched various versions of the Avatar series on television and even more often on DVD, I had little knowledge for years of who’s who or what’s what. The casting controversy of the 2010 film version disastrously directed by M. Night Shyamalan is what actually made me take close notice (not to mention the ridiculously official email requests for assistance with finding the nameless “Asian-looking” faces for the anonymous large crowd scenes; nasty replies flew back!). And then 2006 and 2013 National Book Award...

In only a matter of days, one of the world’s most rabid fandoms may very well receive the answers to questions that began almost four years ago. How will the Fire Nation citizens take the end of the war? Will peace last? Are the “shipping” wars finally over? And perhaps most importantly, where the heck is Zuko’s mom? Though fans such as myself are eagerly awaiting the Avatar spinoff Legend of Korra, there’s still a bit of closure required from the original series. With a world that includes influences from classic animation and Eastern philosophy, the potential for storytelling in the Avatar universe is endless. But as exciting as the prospect of moving forward in time and following the next Avatar...

Editor Dave Marshall shares the process for the cover of the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender—The Promise Part 1. First, writer Gene Luen Yang sent several ideas to inspire the artists of the book, Gurihiru. Gurihiru then used those concepts to create a series of cover sketches. Gurihiru's second and fourth sketches, with Aang and Zuko in a yin yang composition, were influenced by Gene's first idea, their first and third sketches, featuring all of Team Avatar, were influenced by his second idea, and their fifth sketch, featuring the team flying on Appa, was influenced by his fourth idea. The creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, chose their favorite sketch and Bryan...
