Avatar: The Last Airbender--Suki, Alone

“SUKI!!!” -sokka, 2007
The Boiling Rock episode is my favorite! And Suki is also my favorite! So obviously I had to buy this! It’s definitely a bit shorter, but that doesn’t mean it’s worse. It even has some new characters who I wish were in the show, and LITTLE SUKI! LITTLE SUKI IN FLASHBACKS! It’s so cute! Anyways, it’s a great comic, and every Suki fan should read it! It adds so much more to her character.PS: I love Suki so much I was the Boiling Rock versions of her for Halloween lol.

Suki is Captured by the Fire Nation
Takes place during Book 3 of the show, gives a little more background to what Suki was up to in the Fire Nation prison before Sokka shows up to rescue her in the TV show. There are some flashbacks to some girl Suki didn't get along with as a child because Suki wants to be an isolationist like avatar Kyoshi designed by splitting their island off from the mainland, but this girl thinks Kyoshi island should open up to the rest of the world so they can prosper from trade, especially when the island is suffering from a famine. This also shows Suki eventually wanting to leave the island and help others in the world (after avatar Aang visits) and she end up at half-moon bay as security.

Great Addition to the Universe!
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!

Amazing book
It's a quick read with amazing storytelling. I love seeing what happened exclusively in the comics. The show needed to include this, it has a lot of backstory about the aftermath of Zuko's raid on Kyoshi Island, why Suki decided to leave and gave her character development. I'm also a big fan of gay representation in the form of her sister!

Great story, never give Amazon a red dime, though
It’s an awesome story! What a great way to flesh out one of the most underutilized characters in one of my favorite franchises. It’s a real shame the money I spent on it didn’t go to making sure warehouse workers got paid time off during a natural disaster, and now several families are gonna be celebrating Christmas with one more empty chair than usual. Bah humbug indeed. The book deserves five stars, but I’m taking one off because it came from an evil company. Seriously, seek this story out of you’re an Avatar fan, but buy it from Barns n Noble or somewhere, anywhere but here.

Great book, quick and easy must read for any avatar fan
For people who like to complete the lore and love avatar this nice little story is great. Took me about an hour to read but you could easily re read. Illustrations are beautiful. You can tell the writers and the artists had creative freedom and put there best into this work

“Suki, Alone” is absolute necessary read if you’re an Avatar fan.
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!!

Amazing!! <3
This is the first ever comic book I have bought, (will be buying more, hehe) and I love it so much! Finally we get to know a little bit about Suki's life - her background and what happened when she was caught by Azula.If you are an Avatar fan, I really recommend this short, but entertaining comic :)

GREAT INSIGHT OF THE SUKI'S EXPERIENCE AT THE PRISON OF THE BOILING ROCK
