A trilogy of [[Graphic Novel]] digests published in 2012 by [[Dark Horse Comics]], acting as an [[Interquel]] between ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and its [[Sequel Series]], ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''. The story is written by Gene Yang (''[[American Born Chinese]]'') with input from series' creators [[Michael Dante
After Ozai was defeated and the war ended, Team Avatar and the world's governments set to work restoring balance to the world. Zuko, worried that he might go mad with power like his father, makes Aang promise to kill him should he ever become a threat. One year later, a dispute breaks out over the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom, and war may break out yet again. Worse yet, Zuko is taking the colonies' side, making the conflict worse and forcing Aang to accept that he may have to fulfill that promise after all.

▲------------
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Early preview images showed Zuko sporting a sort of mullet. The ensuing negative fan reaction led to Zuko being redesigned.
* [[Action Girl]]: Kori.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
** Ozai implies that the Fire Lord ''has'' to be a badass in order to deal with the job - and that he thinks Zuko's not up to the task.
* [[Badass Cape]]: Part of Zuko's new wardrobe.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Being compared to his father is one for Zuko, but what really pushes him over the edge is being considered a
** Katara's can be summed up in eight words: [[Punctuated Pounding|"STOP...TRYING...TO...SET...MY...BOYFRIEND...ON...FIRE!"]]
* [[Big Entrance]]: Toph uses Earthbending to leap into Appa's saddle mid-flight.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
** All remaining Freedom Fighters, including the long-vanished Sneers who makes his first appearance since ''Jet'', return with Smellerbee as their new boss.
** Earth King Kuei, who seems to have gotten back in the political game pretty quickly after Ozai's defeat.
* [[
* [[Conflicting Loyalty]]: Zuko, once again, has to deal with it.
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: Katara continues to pull Aang out of the Avatar State when she feels he's gone too far.
Line 37 ⟶ 36:
** As of Part 2, the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation forces are on verge of war over the colonies.
* [[Glad I Thought of It]]:
{{quote|'''Sokka''': Wait! You can't leave me alone with ''them''! The [[Sickeningly Sweethearts|oogie-osity]]'s only gonna get worse when you're gone! How am I supposed to keep my food down?
'''Toph''': Well, you could come with me.
'''Soph''': No, no. Hey, how about I go with you?
'''Toph''': Great idea Sokka. Wish I'd thought of it. }}
* [[Good Versus Good]]:
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Ex-Fire Lord Ozai gets to show here that he's definitely where his daughter got it from.
* [[Moment Killer]]: When Gene Yang said ''The Promise'' would begin '''exactly''' where the TV series left off, [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luolcnpQy31r27wz9.png this is what he meant.]
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Toph's tallest, fattest student ([[Word of God|named Ho-Tun]]) is constantly worried about everything being 'doomed.' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120206050428/http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/interviews.php?id=24 According to Gene Yang], Ho-Tun was originally worried about ''death''. Nick nixed that as being inappropriate for the comic's younger demographic. That said, when referring to actual threats of death, the direct words are used as often as the euphemisms.
* [[Occupiers Out of Our Country!]]: The motivation of the Freedom Fighters and their fellow protesters.
* [[Opening Narration]]: By Katara, as per usual.
