Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirate's Silver script by Faith Erin Hicks and art by Peter Wartman
On the run from the Fire Nation, Team Avatar is enjoying riding on Apa the Flying Bison. Toph gives Katara a hard time about being too soft and nice. The others more or less agree, which makes Katara mad. Before she can come up with a good rejoinder, they are attacked by the Fire Nation. Katara falls off, plunging into the river below. She's ok but needs to find her way back to the gang who were forced to fly off without her. She winds up in a seaside town and is recruited by a band of Earth Kingdom pirates who need a waterbender to help them get back upriver with their contraband. She decides to be tough like Toph and joins up with the crew.
The story is fun and exciting, following the typical themes and twists from the television show. Faith Erin Hicks is proving herself to be on par with Gene Luen Yang in writing the characters well and expanding the (already impressively broad) Avatar world.
