ATLA: The Rift Part Two
Oct. 17th, 2020 08:26 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

"What happened to Toph's parents is arguably the the second-biggest dangling thread left by the series. Coming up with an answer was a little intimidating, but let's be honest - nothing's as intimidating as it was to tell the story of Zuko's mother in The Search"

ATLA: The Rift Part One

"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."

ATLA: The Search Part Three

"In 2008, I watched the very last episode of Avatar:The Last Airbender with the eagerness of a true fan. Zuko asks Ozai what happened to his mom... and then the screen cuts. I yelled curse words at my TV.
Three years later,I'm working with Mike Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko on the story that explains what happened to Zuko's mom.
Sometime, life is weird. Weird in a good way"

"Over the years the number-one question fans asked Bryan and me was, "What happened to Zuko's mom?"It was a story we always wanted to tell, and once Gene was on board to write the graphic novels, we knew this would be the time and place to tell it."

ATLA: The Promise Part One

"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

ATLA : Imbalance Part One

“Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favorite things in the world. I'm totally not kidding: I remember watching the series finale over ten years ago when I was a struggling animator, wishing I could work on a show that was even ten percent as thoughtful and compelling as Avatar. I was so in love with the world and characters,” mused Faith Erin Hicks. “Even now, there's nothing that has filled my heart quite like Avatar, and I'm so honored to contribute to the real thing.”

In the new season of Legend of Korra (which is VASTLY improved over the previous two, by the by), they're exploring the family of Toph Bei Fong, and as such, I thought that I'd post some stuff from the recent Rift mini-series from the interquel comics from between Airbender and Korra.

Since this WAS a free comic... that does mean I can post all of it, right? Will cut down if necessary.
