The Promise was the first Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel series, bridging the gap between the original animated show and The Legend of Korra. Written by Gene Luen Yang with art by Gurihiru, it tackles the messy political aftermath of a century-long war.
The central conflict revolves around the Harmony Restoration Movement and whether Fire Nation colonists should be forced to leave Earth Kingdom territory. Aang and Zuko find themselves on opposite sides of the debate, testing their friendship in ways the war never did.
