"After I signed on to do these comics, Toph quickly became my favourite character to write. Mike, Bryan, and their writing team made her so vibrant. I can close my eyes and hear her voice. We didn't include her in The Search for narrative reasons, but I really missed her. I'm glad we got to throw the spotlight on everybody's favourite blind Earthbending master here."

"When I first signed on to write the comics, I freaked out a little. I had a hard time imagining how to continue the story in an authentic way.

Two things helped. First, I looked at history. The Fire Nation is loosely based on Imperial Japan, so I looked at what happened to Japan after they were defeated in World War II. It's not like the end of the war meant the end of conflict, especially in Japanese colonies.

Second, I remembered that our protagonists are teenagers. Especially in your teenage years, character growth is often two steps forward, one step back."Gene Yang
