Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book)	comment	The third trilogy of Interquel comics between Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. This trilogy shifts focus back to Aang and the foundations of Republic City, as well as Toph, who was absent from the previous trilogy.After the Yu Dao situation is finally brought under control, Aang receives visions of the previous Air Nomad Avatar, Yangchen, who tries to talk to him but is mysteriously inaudible. However, her appearance does remind Aang that it's time for the Air Nomad holiday held in her honor, and he takes Katara, Sokka, Toph, and the Air Acolytes to celebrate it for the first time in a hundred years.Unfortunately, the island where the celebration used to be held is now the site of a joint Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom mining operation, and the environment is in bad shape, though the current supervisor Satoru insists it's unrelated. Aang is now sure that Yangchen was trying to get him to shut the mine down, but things quickly get much more complicated, as Toph in particular is sucked into the conflict in a rather unusual way.The first part of a sequel trilogy, Smoke and Shadow, was published September 23, 2015. It focuses on Zuko dealing with a rebel faction of Fire Nation citizens calling themselves the "New Ozai Society."

Why Kori is the one doing the introduction is unknown, however.

This inadvertently employed this trope for this series, since it revealed that Toph would indeed reconcile with her parents at some point if by her adulthood she was sending her daughter to live with them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: One of the Rough Rhinos defies Talking Is a Free Action. Since the war is over, this leads to Fire Lord Zuko downsizing the Fire Nation's armed forces as there is no longer any priority for them. This has caused a number of army personnel to be discharged from service and have to take contractor jobs. Aang was eleven when he ran away from the temple, and didn't learn all the reasons why certain traditions existed, merely knowing the steps to follow. This proves a big hindrance when he tries to recreate the Air Nomads.

In the end of Part Two he is trapped inside said mine. Lao always treated Toph as a fragile china doll and denied their relationship when she proved otherwise. She is the only one who can keep him and a lot of other people alive after the mine's collapse.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_a4905771	comment	Double-Meaning Title: "The Rift" has multiple meanings, from the tension between the land's former status as a sacred Air Nomad site and the current mining operation there (where there is a literal physical rift in the ground), to Toph having to come face-to-face with her father after she ran away. It also refers to the "rift" between the human and spirit worlds, how Katara and Sokka's old friend Nutha resents them for leaving the tribe to go adventuring, and Aang's shunning of Roku in The Promise, which is giving him trouble contacting his other past lives. Many of these rifts are repaired by the end, though as we see in Korra, the division between the human and spirit worlds requires more work to fix.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: The youngest Air Acolyte insists on carrying a huge backpack by himself because... ...and keeps having to ask for help when he falls down. And the poor Cabbage Merchant again suffers misfortune to his cabbages. It's not so bad this time, though.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: Aang explains Air Nomad traditions by saying "That's just how it's done," the same words Toph's parents used to justify everything that she didn't like. Toph turns it around later, absentmindedly stating that though the town and refinery are on Air Nomad sacred land, it's effectively vacant as no one has been there for a hundred years. Since the Fire Nation wiped out the Air Nomads.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Averted; as the three Acolytes argue as to whether or not it goes against Air Nomad culture to "squish" a person, the Rough Rhino Jingbo had hit with a forklift recovers and captures them, telling them it's not a good idea to have a debate in the middle of a battle. Luckily, they are saved by Toph.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Lao is even more of a jerk than before, but does redeem himself a bit when he immediately insists the workers in the iron mine get to safety, over Loban's objections. He has a bigger one when he finally apologizes to Toph. Loban giving Satoru home, food and a job after he ran away from his parents. Pity he is such a jerk to him most of the time.
