Next summer, Dark Horse Comics will continue its successful line of graphic novels based on Nickelodeon’s beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series with a title focusing on fan-favorite character — and arguably one of the most capable warriors in the entire show — Suki. Suki Alone follows Katara and the Pirate’s Silver and Toph Beifong’s Metalbending Academy, and complete this trio of graphic novels with the theme of all featuring female main characters.
As the title suggests, Avatar: The Last Airbender — Suki Alone sees the character separated from both her Kyoshi Warrior sisters and the rest of Team Avatar, as she finds herself captured by the Fire Nation and placed in a special prison built in the center of a dormant volcano, known as the Boiling Rock. There, she has to create a new community for herself, if she can manage to convince the other prisoners to trust her.
This places the story between "Book Two: Earth", "Chapter Sixteen: Appa’s Lost Days", in which the Kyoshi warriors fought Azula, and "Book Three: Fire", "Chapter Fourteen: The Boiling Rock Part One", in which Sokka and Zuko discover Suki at the titular Boiling Rock prison.
This makes it like the Katara solo comic, which is also set during the events of the show. This trio of solo standalone comics replaces the previous model of main story trilogies (The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, North and South, and Imbalance). It’s likely that these three female-focused standalone comics will be bundled into a library edition like the trilogies, so it appears that they’re still doing the stories in threes even if they’re not trilogies anymore.
As with earlier titles in the Avatar line, Suki Alone will be written by Faith Erin Hicks (The Nameless City), with input and consultation from Tim Hedrick, who worked on the animated show. Art comes from Peter Wartman (Stonebreaker), with colors from Adele Matera and letters by ComiCraft.

Suki is captured by the Fire Nation and brought to the Boiling Rock, a grim prison in the middle of a dormant volcano. Separated from Team Avatar and her Kyoshi Warrior sisters, she decides to build her own community among other prisoners. But it's going to take more than an encouraging word to build trust among so many frightened people. Suki will need to draw on all her resources to do it, and even that might not be enough.
Enjoy all-new material from Faith Erin Hicks (The Nameless City; The Adventures of Superhero Girl) and Peter Wartman (Stonebreaker), with colors by Adele Matera. Written in consultation with original series writer Tim Hedrick!
