THE SON WILL RISE
Prince Zuko is banished from the Fire Nation by his own father, Fire Lord Ozai. Horribly scarred and stripped of everything he holds dear, Zuko wanders the earth for almost three years in search of his only chance at redemption: the Avatar, a mystical being who once kept the four nations in balance. All around him, people whisper that this is an impossible task—the Avatar, after all, disappeared a century ago—but Zuko defiantly continues the search. His quest is all he has left.

Format:Paperback
This is a well-written manga about Prince Zuko's life right after being banished from the Fire Nation. It's relatively short in length (the actual story is shorter than the number of pages suggests because it has extras in the end about how the comic was made), but definitely worth the money. It's an excellent read for any airbender-fan who wants to learn more about Zuko's past and better understand why he behaves the way he does. I've read the comic several times and the extras are interesting as well.
The tv-show is a funny, action-packed and meaningful adventure that appeals to all ages, unlike M. Night Shyamalan's movie version, which was so poorly acted and written it was almost painful to watch. This manga is namely a prequel to the movie, but thankfully it's much better than the movie, and largely in canon with the series. The writers have really done their research on the show, the comic makes references to characters and events from it, and some characters like Azula are drawn exactly like in the series.
The story itself consists of several rather unrelated encounters young Zuko makes on his journey. The heart of the story, the thing that ties everything together, is Zuko's complicated, yet evolving relationship to his uncle Iroh, who helps him to deal with loosing his family, home and status virtually over night. Zuko and Iroh are drawn like in the movie, but as far as their personalities and backgrounds go, their very true to their original selves.

A prequel to the movie, rather than the cartoons. In general this makes no difference, except that Iroh is drawn movie-style.
Some fun insights, and in general a tidy little companion.
