Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that Avatar: The Last Airbender tells the perfect story. The three-season cartoon manages to do what many a series has tried and failed to accomplish, and that’s stick the landing. It’s hard to tell a story with an ending as good as its beginning and middle, but Avatar: The Last Airbender manages exactly that. Still, it’s hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful world and a Gaang of characters we love so much. And that’s where Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s graphic novels come in. Happily, these graphic novels are as humorous, heartfelt, and well-plotted as the show that inspired them. Not to mention, they’re totally gorgeous.
It’s only fair something so beautiful should be presented in a fashion equal to its contents. This is why Dark Horse Direct, in collaboration with Avatar Studios co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, has decided to bring fans the Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set. If you’ve salivated over how incredible the ATLA graphic novels are (and just how cute Zuko grows up to be), then get ready for your mouth to absolutely water (Sokka-on-cactus-juice style) over this new divine collection. We’d say it’s blessed by the Spirit World itself.
Enjoy our exclusive look at the Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set below. And then let’s break down all the details.
The Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set Contains Versions of the Graphic Novels Too Beautiful For Words
Water. Earth. Fire. (Fire.) Air. You know how the saying goes, and so does the Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set. This collection devotes one gorgeous graphic novel to each of the elements. (And Fire gets two graphic novels because, well, we all know it’s the coolest element.) The deluxe edition boxed set gathers together the complete stories of The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, and North and South. Each of these editions celebrates our favorite members of the Gaang (Plus Azula), all of them wielding their elements to design perfection. (Except Zuko, who is just smiling, and honestly, we are OBSESSED with that for him.) You can take a look at close-up shots of these magnificent covers below.
Don’t get us wrong; we love the original graphic novel covers. But these are just so sleek, so wonderful, and so absolutely golden that it’s hard to resist them. Each of the five hardcover volumes in the set additionally has an exposed spine. These five graphic novels, of course, make up the official graphic novel continuations of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set conveniently gathers them all in one place for you in, as we mentioned, truly fine fashion. This is definitely a collection worthy of the Avatar and the Fire Lord.
The Avatar: The Last Airbender Omnibus Ultimate Edition Boxed Set Also Comes with a Slipcase and Exclusive Lithograph Print
In addition to the exquisite version of the Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels that the set brings even more to the table. The collection comes with a beautifully designed slipcase with gold foil highlights that highlights, who else, our favorite furry friend, Appa. And even Momo gets a little space to shine here, which tells us that the creators of this set knew what they were doing.
Additionally, the graphic novel boxed set includes an exclusive portfolio containing a lithograph of Team Avatar for display. And this may not come as a total shock, but it’s one you’ll absolutely want to have on your wall.
Peek Inside the Graphic Novels
We would be remiss not to note that these Avatar: The Last Airbender comics are written by Gene Luen Yang (Shang Chi), with art and colors by Gurihiru (Gwenpool), and lettered by Michael Heisler (Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic). You can take a peek inside this exclusive edition of the tomes below.
The official synopsis of the Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels is as follows:
After the defeat of Fire Lord Ozai, tensions remain high across the Four Nations. Not everyone has forgiven the Fire Nation, and even Team Avatar’s homes bear the scars of their time at war. Join Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki, and the rest of your favorite characters as their adventures continue beyond the animated series.
