I have to thank James Cameron's Avatar for helping me accidentally trip over Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series. And I have to thank my step-daughter for making me look at the graphic novels.

This book is a fun and funny stroll through memory lane. It doesn't add a lot. These are "misadventures" that don't really contribute to the main story but just add some humor and some what if scenarios ...

ADORABLE. Gurihiru art!!!! Alas, whilst charming and well-written (and illustrated), it's no replacement for more/future episodes of the show. Nickelodeon, where is my series about things that happen between Book 3 and Korra?! Geez.

Overall I enjoyed this collection of short comics following around the cast and characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, the broad range of art styles made for a somewhat disconnected feel. I most enjoyed the stories where the art closely mimicked the original animation, or where the art was a bit more realistic. Thankfully, those entries made up most of the volume.

So, I really did like the other graphic novels, but something was off about this one. Too many jokes. Weird drawing styles. It was nice to go back to familiar stories and events, but it was not the same as watching the show like the other graphic novels. The formula was off. I look forward to reading The Rift, but I was disappointed in this.
