This endearing collection of short stories from the world of Avatar is a wonderful addition to the (also excellent) releases of Avatar books of late. For fans of the show, this is like a comic version of 'Tales from Ba Sing Se'. Each story stands on its own and while it adds interesting detail to the overall plot, usually just provides nice back stories and character development.

In total, there are over 40 stories in the book from various authors and artists. As always with such a set, not all stories are equal. Luckily, there are no really bad ones but a few are fairly forgettable. Most are just plain fun and a few are pure gold. Note than even in these there is no in depth insight or great drama - this is a collection of comedies.

The art mostly follows that of the animated series, which I particularly like. There are few stories where the art is more 'artsy', but I am not a big fan of comic adaptations where the style differs greatly from the original.

Each story is fairly short as one can expect, and this works great if you only have a bit of time every now and then. You also do not need to remember the details of the original series to any length (though if you do, you'll enjoy some stories a bit more), and probably will be fine even if you never saw all the episodes. As such, this works great for both long time and hardcore fans, as well as people wandering back into Avatar after a long while. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

It's alright, not as good as the ones that are about an over arching narrative, and the art style jumps around a lot* But it's a decent slice of life with low stakes that more light hearted and humor based.

*You'll go from looking like the TV show, to looking like Scott Pilgrim to looking like Little Orphan Annie. . .

Also, I read the Boulder story in the Boulder's voice, because "that's what the Boulder(TM) would want"

Not as good as others I’ve read and I didn’t love that the art styles were different with different stories. This one took me a while to get through
