Avatar: The Last Airbender - Smoke and Shadow Part Two

LOVED LOVED LOVED it! We wanted to thank you as both a woman and as a mother of a young son. We read every night before bed, and I cannot start to recount the amount of sexism there is in children's books --especially older books, which we inherited a lot of. I am not quite sure how I managed to survive my childhood (I read voraciously as a child) with my confidence and sense of self intact.The newer books are usually much better are portraying girls and gender, but often do so on a more superficial level. For example I am very grateful that the Ninjago series (which my son is obsessed with) included the character of Nya, but she somehow seems added on as an afterthought, and a lot of time is spent matching her up as a date with various of the Ninja.The female characters in the Avatar/Airbender books seems to be very different--at least judging from the Smoke and Shadows trilogy, which is the one we have. The female characters are central to the story. They are both heroes and villains. They are made up of the same balance of toughness and vulnerability as the male characters. The male and female characters interact both as team members and as love interests. And I love how the little girl asks Kiyi to "marry her".You would think, in 2016, that all this would be standard. But trust me, your books are the exception rather than the rule... well, except for books that are deliberately contrived to convey a socially just message about gender, race, ethnicity, etc., But my son seems to pick up on this --he seems to have an aversion to these types of books, unfortunately. (And trust me--as a progressive, female, African-American teacher of social justice issues, I have tried! :-)It is important to me as a woman, as a teacher, and as a mother of an impressionable 7-year-old son that you continue doing what you are doing! Much gratitude!

I bought this book for my son. He was so excited when it arrive. He read the first few pages then he told me that this is terrible! I ask him whats wrong? He said that the book had cut off some of the writing, so he couldn't read. I went through the book and count about 16 pages was cut off in the middle of the writing. I compare the width of book 1, 2, and book 3. Found out that book 2 width was 1/4 inch less than book2 and book3. I am returning this and hope that they have a better one than the one they send to me.Update:Amazon send me a new book and this time it was much better. My son love reading these comic book.

Great read for price

Kids like the series

My daughter really enjoys reading these comics and she hates reading.

So cool it is the best and I mean the best comic book ever even better than Star Wars comics

Best Avatar comic series since The Search. If you love the Fire Nation Foursome, then you will love the Smoke and Shadow series. Get deeper insight into the Maiko relationship and Ty Lee/Mai friendship along with an actual relevant plot that The Rift seemed to lack. Great read for fans of the series, especially those who want more Zuko and more Fire Nation.

The graphic novel came in good condition, great read

This comic is a must have for Avatar The Last Airbender fans! It arrived in time and was in perfect condition. The comic itself continues the thrilling tale and does not disappoint! I would strongly recommend this product.

a gift for my Gradson he likes them
