I first came across The Last Airbender cartoons in January of 2010.  I remember I was flipping channels and stopped on Nickelodeon because there was a bald kid running around manipulating the elements, and it peaked my interest.  I only planned to watch a little bit, but a few hours and episodes later, I was hooked.  Of course, I came into the re-runs of the third book, fire, so I was completely lost, but Netflix comes is very handy for a crisis like that.  And, Netflix was running them through instant play, no less, so I had instant gratification and watched the entire series in a few weeks.  Imagine my surprise, and excitement, when I found out there was a movie coming out by my favorite director, M. Night Shyamalan!  Of course, I HAD to go see it, and I tried to buy up all the comics, but Barnes and Nobel was all out, so reading the comics never did happen, but oh well, I saw the cartoon series and the first movie (which I did like—acting abilities aside, the effects made it worth it, in my opinion), and I was in heaven. 

The other day I came across The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures on Netgalley, via Dark Horse Comics, and instantly requested it because, though I’m not really a comic book person, I had originally wanted the comics for the series, and this comic book has bonus materials!  Of course, I highly enjoyed it; the adventures are funny/interesting and gave me a new perspective, making me want to watch the entire series/movie all over again (and I probably will soon).  I really did enjoy this comic book, and recommend it to all fans of The Last Airbender, but be forewarned, if you haven’t seen/read the series in its entirety, some of this comic book won’t make sense, since it jumps around from place to place, adventure to adventure.  Three stars.
