This was a short and fiery story about Mai and how she's dealing with her break up with Zuko. She goes on a date with a boy that turns into an ambush planned by her father. We once again see how awesome Mai is at fighting and protecting the people she loves. It was cool to see where Mai is after end of the animated series and I would love to see her in the main comic continuity! Overall, not a bad short issue based on a secondary but pretty awesome character!

FEELS! I can't wait to read the fourth comic series because I need to see a Zuko/Mai reunion SOON. It's been FAR too long!

It was okay

I definitely just read this because it was a Mai story. It was fine; Mai continues to be cool.

[Bárbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean, it's Mai, how can I not give her 4 stars? Could've been 5, but it's too short.

Mai’s heritage is at stake but she pushes on.

[sismilian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too short to form a decent review, but I’ll say that I loved the colouring and Mai's guts✨

Ya, en verdad estoy haciendo trampa porque leí este cómic hace tiempo pero NUNCA se me ocurrió marcarlo en goodreads así que lo releí porque mi amor por Mai supera cualquier límite.

Este cómic es mi favorito de todos los cómic que hay del universo de avatar porque se centra en mi personaje favorito: Mai. Y no sólo eso, se centra en el periodo de tiempo que más dudas y lágrimas me ha sacado: la post ruptura. En «la promesa» me desintegré llorando cuando Mai se va, odié a Zuko por gil y aunque me dolió en el fondo del corazón que Mai saliera de escena entendí que era lo correcto. No lo correcto para Zuko sino para ella, porque ella es primero antes que el señor del fuego. Pensé que definitivamente habían sacado a Mai del juego (no es un personaje muy querido en la serie) pero con este cómic entendí que al igual que yo los guionistas/dibujantes le han visto el inmenso potencial que tiene como personaje y amé cada viñeta.

Mai es poderosa, leal, luchadora y este cómic sólo aumenta mis ganas de que bookdepository envíe la presenta de smoke and shadow part 2. NECESITO SABER QUE PASARÁ CON MAI

Este cómic salió en el Free Comic Book Day del 2013, y cuenta la vida de Mai luego de haber sido dejada por Suko. Es una historia breve pero muy entretenida, donde vemos cómo Mai está afrontando toda esta situación. Me gustó mucho la historia y los giros argumentales que presenta, que me sorprendieron totalmente. Mai es un personaje que me gusta y con el que me siento identificada en ciertos aspectos, así que me agradó saber más de ella.
Siento que cada cómic que leo es una pieza que encaja perfectamente en la historia contada en la serie, ya sea que sean continuaciones de la trama principal como historias extra que no aporten nada significativo a la historia y sea para entretener al público y que se reencuentre con los personajes.

I spent ages looking for this story and finally found it on a free comic book site. Only then did I found out that this story is in Avatar: The Last Airbender: Team Avatar Tales. So if like me you are struggling to find this: DO NOT PANIC! Just read Team Avatar Tales!

In terms of the story itself, it was good, but not the best. I enjoyed it but it did not do much for me.

Goodreads'teki başlık Rebound olarak değişmeli çünkü hikayenin ismi bu. Avatar'ın mini comiclerinden okuduğum ikinci hikaye olduğu Geri Tepme. The Promise'teki yaşananlardan sonra Mai'nin ne yaptığını gördüğümüz hikaye, serinin devam kitapları açısından önemli olabilecek bir altyapı sunuyordu. The Rift'le başlayan süreçte neler olduğunu göreceğiz bakalım. Mai'yi epey güzel bulan biri olarak stand alone bir hikayesini okumak keyifliydi. Bükücülerin cirit attığı bir evrende Bullseye tarzı yetenekleri ile Mai ilgi çekici bir karakter.

[Aldi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hunted this down because it's heavily referenced in Avatar: The Last Airbender - Smoke and Shadow so I thought I'd better read it first. 5 stars for Mai, who is, as always, the perfect woman. ~2 stars for everything else - the art wasn't as great as usual in this, and the whole thing was too short to make much of an impact. BUT MAI <3

[CAPP · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like the first one of the free to read comics of the series, Rebound is a short, simple but good story that lets us look a little bit better inside the universe of the TV series. should be more clear when on the timeline it happens put lets us see that Zuko's first years as Fire Lord were not good for everyone.

I watched this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK8LH.... It was cute. I loved the picture in the end. I appreciated this story and that Mai was the main character. It was nice to see her grow and develop. I wouldn't say this story is AMAZING, but it was pretty good.

[Storm · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the backstory of when Kei Lo first met, and started to woo Mai, only to fall for her. It was a short, sweet tale that filled in the blanks. However the art was really not up to Avatar comic standards.

[Yuè · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was more depressing than I thought it'd be.

But then again, it is Mai.

[Cassidy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really short but good insight.... I wish I knew why her and Zuko broke up again tho...

This was ok, I just wish we have more Mai development without it being based on Zuko.

I have finally got a copy of the Dark Horse Free Comic Book Day comics for Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. It's good to finally read them through.
