The Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to... Avatar: The Last Airbender

Welcome to the Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide, where we take you through the Wellington City Libraries’ collection of a comic book character. This post is about the comics that continue the story of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra!

Avatar: The Last Airbender (or Avatar: The Legend of Aang) takes place in a world divided into four nations, each home to people who possess the ability to control one element of either water, earth, air and fire with a martial art called 'bending'. The Last Airbender begins after the world has been consumed in a century of war with the heavily industrialised Fire Nation, and the only hope of ending the conflict lies with the Avatar, a person with the ability to bend all four elements. Sokka and Katara, the two siblings from the Water Tribe, discover the current Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and the trio set off to train Aang in mastering all four elements and putting an end to the war.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra is set 70 years after the events of The Last Airbender. The world has largely industrialised and a new Avatar appears in the form of Korra, a headstrong, athletic bender from the Southern Water Tribe. Having mastered three elements already, Korra heads to Republic City to train with Tenzin, the son of Aang and patriarch of a family of Airbenders. During her time in Republic City, Korra finds new friends, romance, and powerful enemies with bending abilities unlike anything the world has seen before.
