A new three-part comic series set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender will spotlight the Kyoshi Warriors and is scheduled to debut this spring. The project brings original creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko into the creative process alongside Dark Horse Comics and Avatar Studios. Rather than centering on the franchise's original protagonists, the series follows Suki and other Kyoshi Warriors as they leave their island and confront the mainland's mistrust. The story centers on identity and loyalty as the warriors navigate skepticism and the wider effects of war.
Key details:
- The series is presented as a three-part comic event focused on the Kyoshi Warriors.
- Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are helping shape the project with Dark Horse Comics and Avatar Studios.
- Writer Brandon Hoáng leads scripting, with artists BellBessa and Xanthe Bouma on visuals, Adele Matera as colorist, Jimmy Betancourt as letterer, and Danielle Weires creating the covers.
- The narrative examines how the Kyoshi Warriors earn trust on the mainland and balances action with character-driven moments.
- The first issue is scheduled for release in comic shops on May 6, is 22 pages long, priced at $4.99, and is available for preorder.
Summary:
The comic expands the Avatar universe by focusing on a secondary group and exploring themes of trust, tradition, and identity rather than retelling main-character arcs. The three-part event arrives beginning May 6, and further installments will follow as scheduled.
