Avatar: The Last Airbender Imbalance - Library Edition

At time of writing, Imbalance is the newest comic of the Avatar series, following on from the good 'North and South', I'm not quite sure how much time has passed, but I'm guessing most of the characters are now around 15 or 16. Anyway, the library edition brings all three comics together into one beautiful hardback book - complete with annotations and notes from the writers and artists. The book itself is beautiful and I really like the new art style which bursts with colour (some fantastic god rays) and captures the growing pains of what will become Republic City. Imbalance looks at a growing feud between benders and non-benders, particularly over new factories that do not require benders, putting them out of a job and increasing tensions between the two groups. There's a lot more to it, with a nice nod to economics and politics, but that's the story in a nutshell. The gaang (minus Zuko who is presumably busy running the Fire Nation) have to try and discover the leaders of a conspiracy and find a way to defuse the tension between the two groups. If it sounds familiar to Korra season 1 - it is, and its a great linkage with that season. I won't say more to avoid overly spoiling the story. Focusing on the production values, again this is a fantastic book with dynamic combat scenes, fun character development and an interesting story. Toph is probably the MVP is this one, her interactions with Sokka, her blunt attitude and her attempts at subterfuge area really interesting and fun. There are also some lovely moments with Aang and Katara visiting what will become the air temple island, and Sokka even gets his detective monocle on! Suki is awesome as always. I would rate Imbalance very highly, probably second only to 'The Search', if you are enjoying the Avatar series, this will be an excellent addition to your collection. If you have not read any of the comics before, I think you could still read and enjoy this without reading any of the others beforehand. Series order: The Promise The Search The Rift Smoke and Shadow North and South Imbalance

Loved the story, a great addition to my collection

I loved this trilogy. The library edition has interesting commentary from the author and artists. The new art style is also wonderful and I can't wait for future releases.

My son loved this book. It's was in excellent condition and turn up very quickly. 100% recommend!!

First class however maybe a little bit too expensive.

Pleased with item. But was disappointed with packing, looked like it had been kicked around before dumping on my doorstep. I had other items in parcel they were ok but this book was a little dented around the edges, please take more care. My daughter will still love it I’m sure.

I've loved the story since I was a child and wanted to read it to my son who loves the cartoon. The book is of good quality, but the design is completely flawed and silly. Who designed that book? Was it designed by a professional publisher or by a 5 year old kindergarten child? Look at the photo please: The leave 5 cm of empty, unused, white space on each page yet, they squash all the art and the writing in the middle. Does it make sense???? Seriously....

Arrived as expected. Had to wait since it came from the USA. Luckily arrived in time for Christmas as it was a gift. If you are an Avatar fan you’ll love this book
