Waiting on Wednesday: Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rift part 1

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, it's where you spotlight upcoming releases that you're eagerly anticipating reading.

I'm glad they are continuing this series in comic book form. I like The Legend of Korra but nothing beats the original Avatar series. I already added this to my wish list.


Book: Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rift, part 1 by Gene Luen Yang, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko with illustrations by Gurihiru

Expected Date of Publication: March 18, 2014

Description:

Avatar Aang asks his friends to help him honor Yangchen’s Festival—one of the highest Air Nomad holidays, which hasn’t been celebrated in over one hundred years.

But cryptic visits from the spirit of Avatar Yangchen herself lead Aang to discover a jointly owned Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom refinery—operating on land sacred to the Airbenders! Is this the cause of the pollution Aang finds there, or is a more mysterious menace afoot?
