Oh how desperately do I wish the comics were even half the quality of the books. F.C. Lee is a brilliant writer and has kept the Avatar universe alive through sheer will.

I do get frustrated when Avatars seemingly continue to lose battles against a person with one element. Often they even have Team Avatar to assist and they still all get schooled. I would really like for someone to just roll with how OP the Avatar is and find a way to craft an interesting story from that perspective. Maybe I'll get a shot in the future.

This books is basically the redemption of Avatar Kuruk but I did seem to think it clashed with the canon of ATLA a bit. Kuruk mentioned none of this to Aang and instead focused on the face stealer spirit which is weird because in this book he's all about hunting spirits.
