After being announced a while back, we at last have a brief description of The Rift Part 1.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER -- THE RIFT PART 1 TP
Gene Luen Yang (W), Michael Dante DiMartino (W), Bryan Konietzko (W), and Gurihiru (A/Cover)
Avatar Aang asks his friends to help him honor Yangchen's Festival -- one of the highest Air Nomad holidays, which hasn't been celebrated in over one hundred years.
But cryptic visits from the spirit of Avatar Yangchen herself lead Aang to discover a jointly owned Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom refinery -- operating on land sacred to the Airbenders! Is this the cause of the pollution Aang finds there, or is a more mysterious menace afoot?
80 pages, $10.99, in stores on March 5.
Big YangChen focus has me super excited as she is the least explored of the Avatar's we know. We know some of the others backstory, while with her all we know is that she was the Avatar in an era of peace and that she is very wise. Definitely not what I was expecting in terms of the story of this series, but this has taken me by surprise in a good way.
Thoughts?
