The Promise



The Promise is the trilogy of comics continuing the Avatar: The Last Airbender storyline. Written by award-winning comic author Gene Yang, the trilogy was released by Dark Horse Comics in collaboration with Nickelodeon in 2012. Mainly set one year after the conclusion of the original series, The Promise Trilogy will detail the adventures of Avatar Aang and his friends soon after the Hundred Year War and will provide a link to the spin-off series The Legend of Korra.

The Promise trilogy includes:


 * The Promise Part 1
 * The Promise Part 2
 * The Promise Part 3

Trivia

 * The plot developments of The Promise graphic novel series foreshadow many of the developments in the Avatar World, revealed at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place before the time of Legend of Korra. Via her founding of a school for metalbenders in The Promise, Toph becomes a wandering metalbending teacher and the founder of the Metalbending Police Force of Republic City; because of Earth King Kuei's and Fire Lord Zuko's struggle to settle the issue of the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom after the Hundred Year War's end, Republic City is eventually built; there are even hints at the tension which will eventually lead to the Equalist revolution against the bending population of the Avatar World in Legend of Korra.
 * The entirety of The Promise graphic novel series, excluding the beginning of the first novel (which takes place right after the series finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender), takes place one year after the defeat of Phoenix King Ozai, and in the span of one week.
