and I read it.. it's quite good and starts filling gaps..
nice to see the Gaang together again..
also, I was under the impression that there were going to be only 3 comic books to tell the story inbetween ATLA and TLOK..but apparently there will be at least a fourth, which will be dedicated to.. not sure this falls under spoilers..so I'll tag it anyway

I think the first spoiler there might be getting covered in a separate miniseries? Same artists different subtitle, that kind of thing.
