New York Comic Con 2017: The Avatar Cycle Begins Anew
Dark Horse and Nickelodeon have announced that Faith Erin Hicks and Peter Wartman are the new creative team for the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel series.
Hicks and Wartman will collaborate with the Avatar: The Last Airbender television series executive producers and co-creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, on the next three-part graphic novel series in Dark Horse’s publishing program. Hicks’s first venture into the Dark Horse Avatar-verse was a 10-page story starring Sokka and Suki for Dark Horse’s 2014 Free Comic Book Day.
The previous creative team of Gurihiru and Eisner and award-winning writer Gene Luen Yang has led the Avatar graphic novel series to longtime New York Times bestseller status and continued to build on the world of the Nickelodeon animated series.
The next volume of Avatar: The Last Airbender will be available in fall 2018.
