Avatar the Last Airbender (Book 1: Water) Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko
Very good! I'm rewatching with my sister, and I forgot how fantastic the show is. The first book is mainly about setting up the world, and developing the main cast of characters. It does this effortlessly, and in short while, the world is fully realized and filled with emotionally complex characters. A true pleasure to watch. If that wasn't enough it manages to layer in complex themes touching from war to regret. I would not think that a freaking Nickelodeon show would be able to serve as an effective vehicle for these concepts, but it does! VERY GOOD.
