This week marks a changing of the guard forAvatar: The Last Airbendercomics.
Hicks has been a comics writer for some time now, and is probably best known forherNameless Cityseries.
Its just really exciting and really cool.
I wanted to show the growing pains of Republic City, Hicks says.
I wanted to show the difficult growing pains it took for the city to reach that level.
Any fans stressed out about canon shouldnt worry too much about Hicks connecting these dots.
I love these kids.
Its actually really fun writing them now as teenagers, Hicks says.
They technically have a lot more agency and power than they did at the beginning of theAvatarseries.
I really enjoy it as a writer.
I want to bring that to these particular stories.
Hicks says shes just getting started, and shes not alone.
Withprose novelsand a possible live-action remake on the horizon, the future ofAvatarremains bright.
Its a big world, she says.
I love the idea of the shifting dynamics of this world.
Im interested in how industrialization affects this world, going from superpowers to machinery.
Im really curious about the Spirit World, which they only lightly touched on inAvatar.
I just feel likeAvataris such a huge world, theres so many potential interesting stories to tell.
It just feels like its open to endless possibilities.
