May 18th is the book store release of Zuko's Story, the prequel manga to THE LAST AIRBENDER. Co-written with the brilliant Alison Wilgus 
and illustrated by the amazing Nina Matsumoto 
this book sets up events in the film but ALSO expand on many things introduced in the TV Series (of which we are all huge nerds). The manga is sorta like an "inter-dimensional bridge" where the movie and show universe start to bleed into each other. So, hopefully Avatar fans will appreciate all the hard work we put into it and catch all the little nods and easter eggs we included.
There is an exclusive preview of the comic over at MTV Splash Page:

BONUS: You can listen to Alison and I talking about the Zuko manga and also the film adaptation manga (that comes out in June) over at the Avatar Portalcast:

Hi,
It was great to meet you at the Kids Read Comics convention.
I finally picked up my copy of this. I was really impressed. Great work on the writing. It definitely made me more eager to see the movie.
It would also probably have far more sales if Borders wasn't hiding it under the letter L in the Manga section. Even when I knew what I was looking for it was hard to find.
