I love seeing Aang and the whole cast of Avatar characters growing and dealing with new problems, supporting each other through adventures, but also finding their own independence apart from the other characters.

In this book, a lot of children are being kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Spirits of legend in the Fire Nation. Aang's job is to find out if the old legends are true, and what these supposed "spirits" want from the new Fire Lord, Zuko.

Zuko is struggling to appear as a strong and confident leader, but the truth is he doesn't have all the answers, and his people don't always trust his decisions. On top of it all, seeing Mai brings back a lot of old hurt and emotional stuff for Zuko. He's such a deliciously complex character!

The artwork is perfection, flowing between scenes with lots of action. The dialogue really tells the story along with the character's facial expressions. It's a perfectly written comic!
