  Great addition to my collect, I love avatar and this is a fun and entertaining addition to the series.Art is good and the writing stays true to the show for the most part. My only issue I had with the book is I got a damaged book. foolishly put it in a envelope and the book got damaged. I would return it but returns are such a hassle. ruined the collectability by not shipping it in a protective box instead of an envelope. Very disappointed in .

  Great new addition to the ATLA universe.
  
  One of the gripes I always had with the show is how certain characters mostly were tools for Sokka’s development as a character (Suki, Princess Yue). The result was that while Suki and the Kyoshi warriors were depicted as really cool and talented characters, they weren’t really developed too extensively.
  
  This short graphic novel is exactly what I was looking for. It develops the Kyoshi warriors, Suki’ life on Kyoshi Island, her inner strength, and her struggle during the time she spent at the Boiling Rock. Fantastic work by Faith Erin Hicks and Peter Wartman on this one.
  
  Spoilers:
  
  I just have a couple gripes with the writing in the story. First, the plot line of Suki and fellow prisoners growing peas was compelling, but didn’t feel realistic as a way to strengthen the prisoners enough to fight back and escape. That felt a bit silly to me at least.
  
  Second, and perhaps I’m missing something, but I don’t fully understand how Kyoshi showed herself to Suki at the end of this comic. Perhaps this was just depicting Suki’s inner monologue with a visual representation of Kyoshi, but if that was actually Kyoshi talking to Suki, I’m not sure there’s anything in the ATLA lore that explains how that’s possible. Of course, the spirit world is a complex place that’s not fully explained in the original show or Legend of Korra, so I suppose anything is possible.
  
  Loved this new comic!

  This is the latest short story graphic novel where we get to see Suki (alone) while she is imprisoned in the Fire Nation's Boiling Rock prison. The story is intermingled with flashbacks to Suki becoming the Kyoshi warrior and leaving Kyoshi island.
  
  It wasfine. Here's my common complaint with these three quick stories (the other two being Katara and the Pirate's Silver and Avatar: The Last Airbender: Toph Beifong's Metalbending Academy) : the writing team just doesn't capture what I need within these amazing characters. I love Suki. I love Katara. I adore Toph. But these books fail to add anything significant to their character development. They focus on events/stories that I don't really care about. I don't need to know what they were doing "off camera". If it was important, we would have seen it in the show (or in Toph's case, within the main graphic novel series). Further, the scripts just irritate me. Conflicts are petty. Dialogue is cheesy. I just don't really feel anything from it.
  
  But there were a few things I liked. The artwork and colors are pretty decent. I liked seeing some references to Kyoshi, and I like how the artist showed Suki painted her warrior gear as she was doing her meditations in prison. Other than that, this was pretty forgettable.

  It just didn't do it for me. The story didn't go anywhere that seemed at all relevant to the larger story told in Suki's ark. Many details which felt like building towards a payoff had nothing to resolve at the end, nor did any of them end up being important.
  
  The books answers a larger question of, "why did Suki leave Kyoshi Island?" butthat answer already was given to us in the tv series, it was in a line of dialogue. SoI'm not sure what was the point of this bookat all

  Artwork suffering drama, tests of character, conviction, inspiration, teamwork, friendship, and most of all, Hope when things are at its darkest.
  Also good story pacing and contrast of past decisions leading to future understanding.
  Please make . Thank You.

  To anyone who has been a fan of this franchise since it first aired, it's always been interesting wanting to know the pasts of certain characters, in the case of Suki Alone, it does just that, set before the events of the 2 parter "The Boiling Rock", the story focuses on Suki during her imprisonment in the infamous Fire Nation prison, trying to survive, while we delve into her past, of course the ending is bittersweet with the bitter part seeing betrayed, but the sweet part is we know the foregone conclusion to how she inevitably gets out

  This comic is easily one of my favorites now from the Avatar Collection. The writers stayed true to the title “Suki, Alone” in this awesome comic following Suki being imprisoned at The Boiling Rock by Azula. This was very necessary for Suki’s character. Being locked up in prison, she has flashbacks to her childhood on Kyoshi Island, her beliefs & how/or if they changed. She stays true to herself and tries to help others leading to consequences. Suki’s connection to Avatar Kyoshi is also shown in this book and I love the way it played out. Great book overall, kudos to the writers!!

  I ordered this book on a Wednesday and was supposed to receive it on a Saturday. Luckily it came a day early! I was so excited to begin reading my comic that came in perfect condition. I just finished reading it and it was everything I hoped for and . If you're a huge ATLA fan like me you will absolutely love the story.

  The comic is okay but overhyped.
