Avatar: The Last Airbender: Team Avatar Tales written by Gene Luen Yang, Dave Scheidt, Ron Koertge, Sara Goetter, and Kiku Hughes; art by Ryan Hill, Little Corvus, Faith Erin Hicks, Gene Luen Yang, Sara Goetter, Kiku Hughes, Carla Speed McNeill, and Coni Yovaniniz
This anthology of eight short graphic stories reprints a handful of stories from Free Comic Book Day and other places. It is a mishmash of art styles and characters, so some stories are better than others and the visual appeal will be different in each. The show's humor and creativity clearly inspired everything. The best story is "Sisters" which features Kyoshi Warrior Ty Lee. She is cheered up during a moment of feeling down when blind earthbender Toph takes her to see the circus...not just any circus, but the one Ty Lee left years ago. She didn't just leave the circus behind, she left behind six identical sisters! Comedy and heart-warming family drama ensue.
Overall the stories are entertaining but don't add a lot to the Avatar universe.
Slightly recommended--this is really for Avatar completists, not casual readers.
