scans_dailyMan, A:tLA:tP is a long title. Not as bad as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society, but still.
Anyways, bits and pieces have been released regarding the upcoming Avatar sequel/prequel series, and, personally, I think that it's still working damn well.
There be spoilers here, both in page and text form, just here he warnin' yo.
- It's based an undefined amount of time after the end of the series, can't say how long, but Toph and Zuko definated look at litte older.
- The Promise from the title comes from Zuko making Aang promise to kill him if he starts to become his father. The conflict comes from when Aang, Katara and co. start to interpret Zuko's actions in trying to stablise his country as him becoming more despotic.
- Zuko is having trouble in his new role as Fire Lord, due to him not being as good a statesman as his uncle, or even his father, and having spent a large chunk of the time when he'd have learnt that kind of thing floating around on a boat looking for a flying monk and his pet monster.
- One of this problems, which I'm really pleased that they seem to be addressing, is Zuko decision to dissolve the Fire Nation colonies in the lands occupied during his grandfather's and father's reigns. Naturally this has a lot of support from the Earth Kingdom, but from the perspective of the generations of subjects who have lived in the colonies for over a century in some cases, they see it as a betrayal by their own head of state.
- Insert real word comparisions for the situation, for example, Northern Ireland, here.
- As a result of this, assassins are coming after Zuko, and to the writer's credit he at least has said assassin have a seemingly valid reason for doing what she did... BUT considering if she had succeeded, chances are Azula would have replaced him, which really would have been a whole lot worse. To try and protect her boyfriend/betrothed/fiance, Mai hires the Kyoshi warriors to protect Zuko, leading to everyone's favourite peppy contortionist martial artist, Ty Lee!
- Other information, Toph appears to have established a school where she teaches the techniques that they've invented, with Toph's metalbending apparently taking up a lot of her time. This school will evidently lead to the cablebending policeforce from Legend of Korra, presumably.
- Aang and Katara are still together, giving each other cute nicknames, which is all kinds of sweet. Sokka's squick over his sister and one of his closest friends acting all lovedovey seems to be leading into a running joke.
- Katara is still badass.
- And the issue ends with Zuko returning heavily back into Bad Decision Making mode. How, I won't say, as it's too big a spoiler even for this.
For the legalities, and to show how well the action is done in this series as well as the awesome art, here be some (incomplete) scans, yarrrr.

By all accounts it really does look like a continuation of the show, albeit a little more mature in tone as the cast and the original audience are a little older.
Definately going to be picking it up, and it'll definately pass the time unti Legend of Korra materialises. :)
