#AVATAR THE LEGEND OF AANG COMIC SERIES#
That day, the series original creators, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, released a statement. A complete list of all the comics, along with plot synopses, are available on the Avatar wiki. These comics serve to fill in empty plot points left by the original series (like the ultimate fate of Zuko's mother), and to show the changes that the end of the war brings to the world (such as the events that lead to the founding of Republic City). The other set are a series of graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics which chart the events that took place immediately after the end of The Last Airbender, and are functionally a prequel series to The Legend of Korra. These were at one point available online through the Nickelodeon website, but were taken down in 2010 when Nickelodeon Magazine ended its run. The first are short stories published in Nickelodeon Magazine and the Nickelodeon Comics Club. The Avatar series has produced two sets of canonical comics. The Legend of Korra has a score of 8,7 on IMDb. It has won 5 Annie awards and 1 Emmy, and is currently the 15th highest rated show of all time on IMDb, with a score of 9,2. The Last Airbender has received positive reviews from both audience members and critics. To end the war, Aang must master all the forms of bending, gaining some allies on his journey, like Toph (voiced by Jessie Flower), a blind tomboy and Earthbending prodigy who wants independence from her upper-class family, and Zuko, who joins Aang. A hundred years after, Aang gets revived by Katara (voiced by Mae Whitman) and his brother Sokka (voiced by Jack DeSena), from the South Water Tribe, attracting the attention of prince Zuko (voiced by Dante Basco), the exiled son of Ozai, the current ruler of Fire Nation. During that time, the Fire Nation continued the war and also chased Aang, "The Last Airbender". After his death, and knowing the Avatar Cycle, Sozin, the ruler of the Fire Nation, carries a genocide against the Air Nomads, being Aang (voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen), the next Avatar, the only survivor, who gets encased into an iceberg in suspended animation for one hundred years. One hundred years before the story takes place, the Fire Nation planned a world war to expand its influence and territory, but was prevented from it by the Avatar Roku. The only who can control all elements is the Avatar, who serves as an international arbiter, and reincarnates into the next one of the four nations in the Avatar Cycle: the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, in order. PremiseĪvatar: The Last Airbender takes place in a world where human civilization is divided in four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads, having a distinct society and people known as benders, who can control the element of their nation. Because of the franchise's past success and fame, the show was quickly picked up and became a popular subject on many sites, including Tumblr in many of its blogs. On 2012, a sequel of the original series, named The Legend of Korra premiered on Nickelodeon, following the adventures of the next Avatar, Korra, and her friends. The series follows the adventures of Aang, a spiritual defender of Earth known as "The Avatar", and his friends.
