I don't think the story in either this or "Reach for the Toph" was a bad story at all. Almost none of the comics released by Nickelodeon Magazine or its later incarnations are meant to be viewed in the same light as major episodes of Avatar or even as minor filler ones. In fact, the only three comics originally released by Nick Magazine that were specifically written for the purpose of explaining events that couldn't be displayed in the series are "It's Only Natural," "Going Home Again," and "The Bridge." Every other comic released by Nick Magazine shows a sort of side quest, nothing more, not even akin to a filler episode. If you all hold them to the standards of episodes of the series or even to the standards of comics that more resemble episodes than comics, all you'll be is disappointed in some way, whether it be by the story, by the art, by the dialogue, by all three or more.
