Avatar: The Last Airbender has some exceptional characters. But admit it, Appa and Momo are your very favorites, and there is no shame in that. The duo stole (and broke) hearts in the main Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon, including ours. And so we always feel thrilled to get a little bit more time with them. And that’s where Dark Horse Comics’ Free Comic Book Day All Ages issue comes in. In this issue, we’ll get a brand new short Avatar: The Last Airbender comic adventure titled, Ramen Rumble. This story will feature Appa and Momo in one of our favorite incarnations of them from the series: Samurai Appa and Ronin Momo. I mean, how could we resist these two under any circumstances? But then, if you add in the fact that we’ll receive their new epic tale for free, PLUS the notion we don’t even need to totally meltdown to read it, it sounds like a great deal to us. And so, we at Nerdist are excited to reveal an exclusive look from Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s new comic tale, Ramen Rumble.
You can check out the sneak peek at these Samurai Appa and Ronin Momo pages from Dark Horse Comics below.
The official description for this new Avatar: The Last Airbender Free Comic Book Day story is as follows:
Samurai Appa and Ronin Momo roam the Four Nations, righting wrongs wherever they go. In Avatar: The Last Airbender — Ramen Rumble, the sky bison and winged lemur find themselves at a besieged Fire Nation noodle house where some of the clientele are tougher customers than the owner would like. Can the duo bring some order to chaos—and maybe earn themselves lunch in the process? Or will they be out on their tails?
Yip, yip. Lunch is very important. We wouldn’t want Appa to get hangry. We don’t think we’d like him when he’s hangry—although it really feels like Momo might be the one to really keep an eye on. It’s also nice to see Samurai Appa and Ronin Momo getting along. In the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, they managed to get under one another’s claws, but we know they’re truly the best of friends. They still bicker in this adorable comic; we love seeing them on the same team. We prefer it when they turn their swords on Fire Nation bullies and not one another. That’s the true meaning of friendship, after all—right after sharing a nice big bowl of ramen.
