ⓘ About Michael Dante DiMartino
Could Aang be the Avatar needed to bring an end to the war in the world? Well, Katara and Sokka have no idea that Aang could save them all. However, some individuals know that Aang is no ordinary boy, and it doesn’t take long for the water tribe to identify Aang as an Airbender and the Avatar. Prince Zuko, for example, is keen to capture Avatar. He knows that even if he kills Avatar, he will simply be reborn, so he has to devise ways to capture him and keep him alive. Aang, on the other hand, has to learn how to control Air, Earth, and Water and ensure that Fire doesn’t take over the other three nations. Will the young man accomplish this considering all the forces working against him? This comic ties in with the cartoon series by the same name.
