Well, it's finally time. After my most recent watch of the series, it's finally time to dive into the world of the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics. It has long been my intention to do so, and with all the recent hype around the show (and during my ongoing re-watch of the Legend of Korra) I found myself in just the right mood to start.
The Lost Adventures is the first of two collections of comics that are largely considered precursors to the main series of comics, those that take place after the end of the tv series. It is a collection of short comics from a variety of sources (DVD exclusives, Free Comic Book Days, Nickelodeon Magazine, etc) and a variety of different writers, artists, colorists, and letterers (Brian Konietzko, Michael Dante DiMartino, Aaron Ehasz, Joaquim Dos Santos, Alison Wilgus, Joshua Hamilton, Justin Ridge, Gurihiru, and many more). The sheer variety of style and talent found within makes it worth it, but on top of that it's just fun to be back hanging out with Team Avatar again.
The book is split up into three sections for the three seasons of the show, and thus each story takes place during a different part of those three seasons. There are stories that fill in areas of the show that were glossed over (such as how the gang acquires the Fire Nation ship we see them on in the beginning of season three), stories that are pure goofiness (like the Toph vs Bumi showdown) and stories that frankly could have been their own episode of the tv series (like when Sokka joins the Fire Nation army). There's a little something for every Avatar fan to enjoy.

Many of the stories were very funny. If you finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, but want to read more of the Aang gang's adventures, then read this.
Brian Konietzko worked on the cover art. It's good, but Aang looks evil on the cover, which is probably unintentional. Don't worry. Aang's not evil. It's just that Brian Konietzko gave Aang an evil grin...
According to the table of contents, there are 28 short stories in this omnibus/collection.
One of my favorite stories was about Katara. She saw a group of kids dumping water from their second-story room onto passersby and decided to get them back by walking underneath them on purpose. As you know, she's a waterbender, so you can guess what happened next! I liked how we saw a more playful side of Katara, as she's more of a caring but serious figure. Yet it still fits her personality as she's still teaching the kids a lesson.
Many of the stories either add to the original show or show you a different side of characters that works.
I generally don't like short stories but these short stories are written so well.
My only regret was there are no more short stories in the Avatar comics. I already finished reading Team Avatar Tales, The Promise, and The Search, and am now reading The Rift.

Bought new, recurved Damaged Book
By Nimah on August 29, 2020
I’ve read this book when I was in elementary school. Now I’m graduating college and decided I should add this in my collection. I love the stories so much. They said it was a NEW copy. It doesn’t look New to me. It’s super damaged with black stuff all over it! I opened my package the second it was dropped off. I am so bummed :(
