One of the things everyone loves about the Four Nations is all the strange, wonderful, and sometimes scary creatures that inhabit them. Some of the most notable among these creatures are the Air Nomads’ flying bison, Kyoshi Island’s elephant-koi, the Earth Kingdom’s singing groundhogs and fire ferrets, and even the little purple pentapus.

Praise for Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra comics and books:

The Promise paints a great picture of this unique time in the Avatar world.”—Comic Book Wire

“All five mini-series skillfully capture the spirit of the show, telling engaging stories with major implications for the Avatar world. The artwork throughout is beautiful and the representations of the characters are almost completely faithful to their portrayals on the show.”—The Snapper

“DiMartino and Irene Koh (artist) continue to give us a multi-culturally diverse cast, avoiding tropes left and right, allowing many of the women to hold leadership roles, both good and bad. The art is fun and energetic.”—Fanbase Press on The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars
