A quick, easy read that gives Toph some perspective as she finds her days as the head of the Metalbending Academy just a little bit repetitive and boring. Add in the Secret Tunnel band, Sokka and Suki for a few pages, and some oddly poignant conversations between characters you'd never expect, plus some ever-reliable Avatar art from Peter Wartman, and you've got another solid, if not overly spectacular, Avatar story.
Another great addition to the Avatar comics. We see Toph being typical Toph: bored while living a routine life, and in search of something interesting. We see what Toph is like as a teacher, what motivates her to look after kids in need, and a rare form of bending. There were quite a few throwbacks to the original series too, including from one of my favourite episodes.
So cute!!! This book made me laugh out loud. These ATLA comics are such a delight. :)
That realization from Toph.
Toph definitely isn't my favorite character so I was definitely a bit *skeptical* going into this one. I just find Toph to be abrasive and annoying.Despite all of that, I enjoyed this graphic novel. It was fun to see Suki and Sokka and the "Secret Tunnel" band again. It was also fun to watch Toph find more kids to teach and find some more unique earth benders like her. ☘️🪨🏫
As always anything from the Avatar team is automatically five stars for me. I read this new installment in the Avatar universe after the announcement of Avatar Studios. Which has me super excited. With that little tidbit being said I will get to the review now which will contain spoilers. You have been warned. Toph is bored of running her metalbending academy since it is the same routine. So she invites Suki and Sokka to come visit her. They drag her to a concert which is the band from book two
Toph is growing bored with her staid life teaching classes. She misses the excitement of fighting in the underground bender battles to survive. Basically she's going through the same mid-life crisis everyone goes through when their life becomes more comfortable and stable. It's all rather boring. Peter Wartman's art is spot on though.Received a review copy from Dark Horse and Edelweiss. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.
"Wisdom can come from unexpected places, tiny but powerful earthbender lady." representation: Asian inspired world and characters.[trigger warnings are listed at the bottom of this review and may contain spoilers]★★★★★AS IF I'D GIVE TOPH ANYTHING LESS THAN 5 STARS. WHAT A BADASS. trigger warnings: fantasy violence.
edit edit 4.5 star!! not me obsessing over Tophedit: I GOT IT AHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSS. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UPMe finding out that this finally came out:Me running to check it out from the library:Me realizing that I'll have to wait for weeks since it's in high demand:
a solo comic just for the Melon Lord??? can't it come any sooner?!
“My job is taking care of my students at the Academy. To make sure they’re safe, and they’re learning to master their bending abilities. There's no doubt on the fact that the older I get, the more fascinating and in love I fall with Toph Beifong. Everything about this comic was simply charming, hilarious, and quite profound, sneakily so. It was impossible not to want to continue reading about them all and feeling quite proud as well. I have to be honest, I was not sure what this was gonna
I think the curators of these continuations of both Avatar animated series have done a good job of making these post video stories fit into continuity. Toph has arguably received less "screen time" than most of Team Avatar since the show's end.This is a fairly logical extension of what Toph might have been doing. Leaving Team Avatar to open an earthbending academy, and becoming frustrated by becoming "the establishment". There are some minor teasers for events that happen in Korra.Really, this i...
I loved seeing more young Toph, as well as a guest appearance from our favorite secret tunnel singers!
This is a story about Toph. Toph being amazingly talented. That is all you need to read this l.
3 starsKinda cool, love Toph, WAY too short to get anything out of it.
This one was super solid. Not a true 5-star, more like a 4.5, but a solid one. I really enjoyed seeing this side of Toph, because her being a teacher would definitely not be her cup of tea for too long. But to see her interacting with her origins in earthbending is pretty cool and there are some neat things that pop up. The story has heavy themes of doing work for work and doing work for passion, which I think went over pretty well. I would definitely recommend this one over Katara's one-shot.
Honestly I love this whole series, but I really loved this little comic book. I loved seeing Toph by herself and having grown into a teacher - I'm glad I picked this up, even if its short and doesn't really do a whole lot for character development or world building its still a wonderful little moment in time.
4 STARSJust like all the other comics, I definitely enjoyed this a lot. I love Avatar so much, the world is amazing and the characters are some of my favorites ever since childhood.I was so excited to see Chong, Lily and Moku again! Me and my friends just recently rewatched the Secret Tunnel episode and it's one of my all-time favorites! Seeing them having gained fame and fortune as Trustfully in Love and Suki being a fan dragging Sokka and Toph to a concert was so amusing!
[October 15th, 2020]: ive just finished the katara comic and it was cool so im excited to get a closer look at toph's metalbending academy in this comic, in just 124 days!!~~[July 26th, 2020]: YESSS a comic focusing only on toph and her metalbending academy is exactly what she deserves!!february 16, 2021 cannot come soon enough💥💥i hope one day suki or azula get solo comics too bc they deserve so!! much!! better!!!
This was great fun
