About this deal
By the present day Azula openly denounces Ozai as nothing more than a hollow shell of his former self, however, and in her Motive Rant even resents him for turning her into what she is. Additionally, the spirit ended up transformed into a gigantic monstrous form that reflected Azula's inner self. What first seems like a place to safely pass the night is quickly revealed to be something horrifyingly different. However, I was looking forward to this comic since Azula is one of my favorite characters in the ATLA universe.
Instead, it subtly conveys her thoughts and feelings, allowing readers to interpret the narrative on their own, respecting the audience’s intelligence.It then spells out how every awful and cruel action she committed was her own choice and how her refusal to take responsibility for those actions is why she is still the monster she resents being. While I loved the concept of Azula confronting her demons, and slowly becoming aware of the “monster” she’s become, this feels incomplete. Not expecting her to get redeemed in a stand-alone comic so i hope this is explored more in the future.
We Have Reserves: Apparently, Azula hasn’t let go of this mindset even after losing the war since she doesn’t have a large army to rely on anymore to throw at her enemies.But after a failed attack on her latest target, Azula finds herself in a mysterious forest temple inhabited by a solitary monk… or is it something more mysterious? The artwork is great and I loved seeing how Azula sees her father, Fire Lord Ozai versus how Zuko sees him.
