A trilogy of Graphic Novel digests published by Dark Horse Comics in the Avatar franchise, and the first part of an Interquel series between Avatar: The Last Airbender and its Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra. The story is written by Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese) with input from series' creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, with illustrations by Japanese art duo Gurihiru.With Ozai defeated and the war over, Team Avatar and the world's governments set to work restoring balance to the world. Zuko, worried that he might go mad with power like his father, makes Aang promise to kill him should he ever become a threat. One year later, a dispute breaks out over the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom, and war may break out yet again. Worse yet, Zuko is taking the colonies' side, making the conflict worse and forcing Aang to accept that he may have to fulfill that promise after all.The first volume was released on January 25, 2012, the second on May 30, and the third on October 9, with a hardcover compilation of the trilogy released February 20, 2013. A second comic series by the same creative team subtitled The Search began in March 2013, detailing Aang and Zuko's search for Zuko's Missing Mom while dealing with Azula, whose discharge from mental care Zuko has ordered so she may aid in the eponymous search. |

comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: Zuko's guards try to assure him that he is safe from assassins after he wakes up in the middle of the night believing that a new attack is coming. After one guard tells him that they moved him into a secure part of the palace to keep him safe, Kori knocks him and his partner out and tries to assassinate Zuko. After that particularly impressive failure, Mai decides to fire Zuko's old guards and replace them with the far more competent Kyoshi Warriors. A firebender says Toph is selling a fantasy, as everyone knows metalbending doesn't exist. Next panel, his new hat is a spear twisted around his head. |

Darker and Edgier: Not only is it showing that the ending for the series is not the definitive one nor as happy as it initially seems, but Fire Lord Zuko, Earth King Kuei, and Avatar Roku all slip into Well-Intentioned Extremist territory. A hundred years of warfare can't be unmade in just a few months, after all. |

comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: Zuko, once again, has to deal with it (his people and others). Later, Aang does too along the same lines. Defied by Kori, who is an Earthbender and a Fire Nation citizen, is proud of being both, and is sick and tired of being told that her loyalties between the two have to conflict. |

Poor Communication Kills |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_1c445e86 |
comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Zuko's turnaround on the colonial issue comes across as inexplicable to the Gaang and makes Aang seriously consider invoking his promise to Zuko. When Aang and Katara go to meet him, the hostile reception Yu Dao's soldiers give to Aang and Katara provokes a fight that only stops when Aang starts to go into the Avatar State. It's only after that close call — and Katara pulling him out of it for the nth time — that Zuko is finally able to explain his position. Virtually all the tension is a consequence of Zuko not telling anyone anything before making his decisions (repeatedly lampshaded by Mai). Comparisons can be made to how the entire war only began because Roku and Sozin were unable to calmly discuss their own problems, something that Roku regularly angsts about. |

White Man's Burden |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_1effdd6b |
comment |
White Man's Burden: Fire Man's Burden in this case. Despite stridently rejecting the idea that the war was the Fire Nation's way of sharing its greatness with the rest of the world, Zuko comes around to thinking that the war accomplished something positive in the colonies. He defends Yu Dao, social inequalities and all, to Aang and Katara in terms reminiscent of the White Man's Burden. It very much mirrors Rockefeller's ideology of common wealth; even if wealth is not shared equally among all parties, if the standard of living has become higher for all people involved, than it is fair to say that everyone has benefited. |

Rash Promise: Aang is overjoyed by having save the world in the series finale of the source material that he casually agrees to do any favor for his friend Zuko. Then Zuko makes him promise to kill him if he ends up turning evil, and the rest of the comic is all about Aang juggling his pacifism, Zuko's actions (which from Aang's point of view seem more and more like the actions of his evil father), and the promise he wished he never made. |

Foregone Conclusion: This will ultimately end in the founding of Republic City, as seen in The Legend of Korra, or at the very least the first steps toward that end. Additionally, though Zuko had at the time of the comic's release not yet appeared nor had any direct mentions in The Legend of Korra, he had been confirmed by Word of God to be alive, so Aang will never have to make good on his promise. |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024 |
comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Trying to resolve the aftermath of the war and the long-term consequences that spring from a century-long attempted war of conquest (and genocide) are more complex than is often depicted. Replacing the Evil Overlord in charge of the aggressor nation with a better person who is an ally of the heroes and perfectly willing to make reparations does not just make all the societal upheaval and changes go away, nor does it erase all of the complex issues betwee the nations in question or their people. Even if both sides have well-intentioned individuals in charge who agree (initially, at least), about the right course of action there is still the potential for conflict simply because some things can't be fixed, and instead have to be lived with. |

Blatant Lies: Upon meeting Sokka, Penga tells him she's "close to sixteen". When pressed about it and asked how close, she admits she's nine. The firebending teacher, on seeing that he can't get rid of the spear wrapped around his head, claims he's keeping it as a convenient way of carrying flags around and that he can remove it anytime he wants. |

Bittersweet Ending |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e |
comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Aang successfully averts the war between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom, Yu Dao becomes the center of a new dynamic between the nations, and Aang finds a way to carry on the beliefs of his people through the newly-formed Air Acolytes. However, Aang severs his spiritual connection to Roku, since Roku's outdated worldview and insistence that the Avatar must be willing to kill clash with Aang's Thou Shalt Not Kill attitude and new worldview. By extension, the other Avatars are a no-go in this department, as well. Zuko realizes his internal conflicts will continue in spite of his Heel–Face Turn, and in pursuit of finding peace in his familial roots resorts to enlisting his currently straitjacketed sister on a quest to find his still-missing mother. Finally, Mai breaking up with Zuko over his secret-keeping isn't resolved by the end. It remains to be seen if Iroh II's grandmother is another woman or not. |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Zuko boxes himself inside the city of Yu Dao as part of his withdrawal from the Harmony Restoration Movement. After an escalating series of scuffles nearly culminates in Aang making good on his Promise, Zuko says they should talk about this... prompting Aang to flip his lid and say that's what he came here for in the first place. |

Honor Before Reason: Zuko pulls out of the Harmony Restoration Movement without notifying his friends, presumably acting quickly so no more of his citizens would have to be taken from their homes against their will, and justifies this as being the right thing to do by his people. See below for how this almost leads to Poor Communication Kills. This later comes back to bite him in the butt with the Earth King; having broken one treaty without so much as a warning, Kuei sees no point in negotiating with Zuko again after he's proven himself to be untrustworthy. |

Designated Villain: Zuko is this In-Universe to many of the Earth Kingdom people and the Freedom Fighters, and even some of the Gaang like Sokka and Toph. Yes, he's being an idiot, but everyone's treating him like he's already as bad a dictator as his father. Justified considering that they just wrapped up a century-long world war where the Fire Lord was the face of their enemy. |

He may be evil, but Ozai is a good judge of character. He accurately predicts that Earth King Kuei, after his kingdom was almost totally conquered by the Fire Nation and having been a Puppet King due to Long Feng's manipulations, will be quick to resort to military force if Zuko backs away from the Harmony Restoration Movement. If nothing else, it's an attempt to prevent the Earth Kingdom from being pushed around by/subservient to the Fire Nation again, and to restore Kuei's credibility as a ruler. |

Oddly Small Organization: For the strongest nation in the world with the finest military of the three nations and several deadly canon organizations and individuals (the Yu-Yan archers and the Combustion Man), Fire Lord Zuko having only two rather incompetent bodyguards that can be taken down (not to mention a stronghold easily infiltrated by a single teenager) after five repeated assassination attempts shows a lack of planning. On the other hand, it's mentioned that the assassination attempts are coming from within the Fire Nation, so there is a good chance that Zuko not only can't rely on larger numbers to counter planning or foreknowledge, but also must make do with people he absolutely trusts. After all, what's the point of setting up twelve guards around your room if ten of them are potential assassins? |

If nothing else, it's an attempt to prevent the Earth Kingdom from being pushed around by/subservient to the Fire Nation again, and to restore Kuei's credibility as a ruler. Also Ozai's advice to Zuko about believing in the rightness of his decisions. The exact wording of what he says is downright psychotic, but the point behind it is that a good leader has to be firm in their decisions and the follow through on those decisions, instead of dithering over what to do and only half-heartedly pushing a decision that they have made. A lot of experts and even books on the topic will agree with that underlying point. Much like Alec Baldwin's iconic speech to the closers in Glengarry Glen Ross, everything he says can only make Zuko a more effective force, if he gets past the deliberate antagonistic delivery. |

Saved by Canon: The Legend of Korra has established that the main characters all live into their forties, at least. Katara and Zuko in particular are still alive. It should be said that the comics take full advantage of what Korra doesn't confirm, breaking up Zuko and Mai and teasing that he might hook up with Suki instead. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Part 3, what started as a stalemate between the two armies escalates into a battle when Toph, on Sokka's suggestion, disassembles the Fire Nation tanks. The Earth Kingdom general, up until that point wary of starting hostilities, sees his opening and takes it. |

Deconstruction |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7 |
comment |
Deconstruction: The series ended on a note of hope for the future, with the new Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko as the vanguard of peace among the four nations. However, the idea of leaving a group of idealistic teenagers in charge of a world that's been festering in complicated political problems for more than a hundred years is quickly shown to be an unrealistic solution. Their initial solution — simply deport all Fire Nationals in the colonies back to the Fire Nation — is quickly shown to be extremely naive and causes problems for one simple reason: the oldest Fire Nation Colonies, such as Yu Dao, are over a century old. This means that all the original settlers are long dead and the current inhabitants know no other way of life. The colonies also have a unique, amalgamated culture that's neither purely Fire Nation nor Earth Kingdom anymore, plus plenty of interracial marriages and citizenry of mixed ethnic descent. This last part is personified by Kori, who claims Fire Nation citizenship through her father, but is an Earthbender like her mother. |

Because it's not like assassination of the Fire Lord will cause a civil war, leaving the Earth King free to claim the land, right?

Foreshadowing: Kuei being willing to go to war to recover the Fire Nation colonies, telling Aang he was either with him or against him, coupled with Aang's decision to have the matter of the colonies dealt with by a council (which will clearly end up leading to the creation of Republic City) is a clear setup to Season 3 of The Legend of Korra, where the Earth Queen was so resentful of the Earth Kingdom land that was "stolen" to create the United Republic that she angrily brings it up at any opportunity, and is willing to go to extreme measures (including conscripting the new airbenders as an army and turning Korra over to the Red Lotus) to get the land back. |

Deliberate Values Dissonance |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_aabe2fb |
comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Read this as a 21st-century Westerner, familiar with the concept of dual-citizenship and naturalization, and it'll seem like the characters are holding the Idiot Ball. But, if you remember that people in the Avatar-verse have been raised with strong senses of ethnocentrism, and consider that such views have been popular throughout human history, and still are in some parts of the world (Japanese-born Koreans still can't vote), you begin to realize why the characters are facing this dilemma. Even Katara — who is devoutly and joyously practicing that lifestyle — only realizes this during a "Eureka!" Moment of Awesome. Doubly so given what the Earth Kingdom is based off of. China does not recognize the concept of dual citizenship, and still believes heavily in Ethnic Nationalism, that is to say, you are who you are born, and any feelings otherwise are traitorous and false. |

Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Both Sokka and Toph can't believe anyone would name their kid The Dark One's real name. The answer to this is obvious, since he's "The Third": his grandfather and father obviously decided that their suffering needed to be passed on to later generations. |

What the Hell, Hero?: Zuko gets these at several points: From some of the residents of Yu Dao for giving it back to the Earth Kingdom. From Aang and the Freedom Fighters for changing his mind on the Harmony Restoration Movement. From Ozai about being indecisive. Aang also gets offended by some of his fans imitating his tattoos, saying that they're an important part of Air Nomad culture. |

Continuity Drift: The comic introduces complexity to the Fire Nation's rule, where some of the colonies developed under more peaceful circumstances between the natives and the settlers, closer to what Fire Lord Sozin originally intended. This is never indicated in the cartoon; despite people of all ethnicities being depicted favorably and unfavorably, the Fire Nation's colonial project is never shown to be anything but a sham with the goal of ethnic supremacy through genocide. |

Standard Female Grab Area: Played with. Zuko catches Katara off-guard from behind, grabs both of her arms, twisting one around behind her back (which is a known real-world submission hold) and has her other arm outstretched above her head so that she can't move it easily. Katara's dialogue makes it appear that she could still break free and continue attacking him, but she's reluctant to because he's her friend. |

Pretty Fly for a White Guy: The Avatar Aang Fanclub makes some pretty ridiculous attempts to imitate Air Nomad culture. For example, they try to imitate the architecture of the Western Air Temple by turning their furniture upside-down. However, they get enough right to make Aang happy until he finds out the arrow tattoos they're wearing are permanent. This makes him angry as the arrow tattoos are only meant for master airbenders. |

Undying Loyalty: Considering that the five assassination attempts came from Ozai loyalists, we can assume that the two guards Zuko put outside his bedroom are one hundred percent loyal to him. |

Never Say "Die" |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_f51c5f3c |
comment |
Never Say "Die": Toph's student Ho-Tun is constantly worried about everything being "doomed". According to Gene Yang, Ho-Tun was originally worried about death. Nick nixed that as being inappropriate for the comic's younger demographic. The titular promise also uses "end" instead of "kill". That said, the direct words are used as often as the euphemisms. |

Murder Is the Best Solution |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_f6b30338 |
comment |
Murder Is the Best Solution: Kori defaults to violence to solve any problem. Her Establishing Character Moment is her attempt to assassinate Zuko, as opposed to some sort of rational discourse about the problems he's causing. She doesn't get better about it as tensions increase. |

Insult Backfire: Toph disappointedly tells Sokka that she expected her students to become Metalbenders but that they keep failing. They overhear this and are motivated by discovering that she had any expectations in the first place. |

With Us or Against Us |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise (Comic Book) / int_f8c079b3 |
comment |
With Us or Against Us: Kori to Sneers, after he lets it slip that he's part of the protest looking to evict the Fire Nation from Yu Dao. Although rather than frame it as an issue of nations, as she had done to Zuko in the first volume, Kori presents it as protecting the city of Yu Dao itself. Kuei tells this to Aang, after making it clear that the Earth Kingdom will re-take Yu Dao as per the Harmony Restoration treaty. Sneers uses a guilt-trip version of this on Aang. |

comment |
Innocently Insensitive: The Yu Dao chapter of the future Air Acolytes didn't entirely appreciate that permanently tattooing themselves with airbending mastery tattoos (which, understandably, they have no way of actually earning) might not sit well with the only living airbender/Air Nomad. When he calls them on it, they immediately cover the tattoos out of respect to him. |

Talking Is a Free Action: When Katara is talking Aang out of the Avatar State, she appears to have all the time in the world to do so. Probably because everyone else is scared stiff. |
