You should order it too! It's less than ten dollars, and supporting A:TLA is totally worth it!
Aftermath. They split it between 4 books. Book one already out and it's so awesome. It has tons of romance between Aang and Katara, and shows kinda how republic city is soon to be made. It's pretty good and worth while to buy, in my opinion. Especially if they don't show the back story.
Well you're in luck! The canon Promise and Search comics bridge the gap between ATLA and LoK.
The Promise and the Search are ongoing comics. The Promise part 3 is released in a couple days, and the Search hasn't been released yet. You can get the Promise parts 1 and 2 here and here.
Adding to this bit by HeirToPendragon:
> The Lost Adventures is a collection of official comics from the series that were put in various other places (like Nick Mag). A few tell stories about what happened between seasons.
"The Lost Adventures" also includes the comics that were bundled with the DVD releases (of the non-boxed set variety), like the "Private Fire" comic which came with the Season 3 DVDs. Also, the comics collected in this book are grouped by season, which helps if you want to read them in the chronological order of the show. "The Lost Adventures" is a pretty good collection since it incudes so many comics (it is 240 pages long) and it spans all three seasons of the show, so if you only get one book to start with, this is the one to get.
The four "Lost Scrolls" books (Water, Earth, Fire, Air; alternatively, I think this one book collects all four) include some background information about the four nations in the world of Avatar as well as some first-person stories from Season 1 (basically, some episodes told from the perspective of some of the characters).
The "Earth Kingdom Chronicles" (titles start with "The Tale of [insert character name here]", available for Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Azula, Zuko; I think this one collects some but not all of them) are similar, but for Season 2 and they don't include background info, just first-person perspectives of the episodes. Basically, you follow the individual characters through Season 2.
There's also three little comics set during Season 3 ("Aang's School Days", "Sokka the Sword Master", and "Love Potion #8"). I've heard these aren't that good, but they exist so I'm mentioning them.
"Sozin's Comet" is a novelization of the series finale (the four "Sozin's Comet" episodes).
The new comics, starting with "The Promise, Part 1", are set after the end of Season 3, and those will start coming out early next year.
If you want to read all these Avatar books more or less in chronological order, you'd start with "The Lost Scrolls", then continue with the Season 1 comics in "The Lost Adventures", move on to the "Earth Kingdom Chronicles", then the Season 2 comics in "The Lost Adventures", then the three short Season 3 comics, then the Season 3 comics in "The Lost Adventures", then the "Sozin's Comet" book, then "The Promise" and all that comes after.
And, of course, there's also The Art of the Animated Series, but that's not a graphic novel and would be more for you or for your son when he's older. =)
Edited to add links.
Gonna just go for a full on personal rundown of the episode
Firstly I really liked the introduction of the episode, the breif history gap and how the world is now wet up. It was doen very simple and effectively.
I also like how they just skipped the whole previous cast later lives and will feed us teasers and facts throughout the series, maybe a possible flashback episode, though I have been informed that there is a comic which fills in some of the gaps already.
I also like the idea of segregation between those who can bend and those who can't. It is a good morale plot, it is not often you encounter fanasty worlds that have the magical element (bending) with a more modern technologically culture.
I think as the majority of viewers of Aangs adventures were younger, I think it has tailored well to the audience who have grown up a little, it reminds me of some of the more popular anime series, (Bleach, Naruto, DBZ) in the way it tells its story.
Just my view, can't believe I now have to wait a month after getting this taste for the next episode!

The Promise
there is The Lost Adventures which is a collection of short comics based between episodes of TLA
there is also the Promise part 1, 2 and 3 (part 3 is released in October) which is based after TLA
lastly there is another graphic novel series called The Search which just got announced which is to do with Zuko's mom.
edit: for other animations I'm fairly certain that there are no other animations that are considered canon.
Avatar:The last Airbender: The Promise
I'm not positive either, but I listed all the ATLA books that I know of below. Some aren't comics, but I'm not sure if you're just referring to the Gene Luen Yang collab comics or the others as well.

The Lost Adventures
There are also The Earth Kingdom Chronicles series, The Lost Scrolls Collection and The Tale of Aang/Zuko, but I'm not sure if they're canon (I am guessing they are since there's a Nickelodeon logo on them, but the original creators/writers aren't listed among the author so I don't know).
One can find the comics by taking ten seconds to Google them. Here are a few direct links anyway.

You can buy them from most of the big book websites. amazon.com has all the comics available for sale, or if you're international, bookdepository.com will ship for free to all these countries.
There are three comics, The Promise, The Search, and The Rift, in that order. They were originally sold in three parts each, i.e. The Promise Parts 1, 2 and 3, and The Search Parts 1, 2 and 3. The Rift is currently in the middle of being released, so Part 1 is out now, with parts 2 and 3 to follow in August and November.
Alternatively, there is a collected edition of The Promise and The Search, which contains all 3 parts in one big hardcover, with annotations from the authors and a small section at the back with some art from the development process.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that if you don't want a physical copy, you can buy digital copies of the comics from Dark Horse here.
Our subreddit is growing very quickly, so it isn't that surprising. It also helps that both The Last Airbender (A:TLA) and Legend of Korra (LOK) are fantastic shows with both kid and adult friendly content. If you haven't already, watch LOK and read The Promise and The Lost Adventures, you will love all of them if you loved A:TLA
If anybody link me was wondering about comics, there also seem to be a load of mirrors for them online, you can buy them on amazon too.
Sure! So for ATLA there are a series of trilogy stories. Their order is:
The Promise (3 parts, 2012)
The Search (3 parts, 2013)
The Rift (3 parts, 2014)
Smoke and Shadow (3 parts, 2015–16)
North and South (3 parts, 2016–17)
Imbalance (3 parts, 2018–19).
They all take place after the show and were made by and in connection with the creators. They're canon and some later ones reference earlier ones so be sure to read in the chronological order. There's also two anthology series that contain short stories from during the show. "The Lost Adventures" and "Team Avatar Tales."
For Korra there's only two so far:
Turf Wars (3 parts, 2017-18)
Ruins of the Empire (2019-20).
You can buy all of these on Amazon and in many cases you can find them at your local bookstore or library. They are available either in three smaller separate softcover parts or one combined hardcover. I personally bought them all as they came out and have the three individual softcover parts for each trilogy. Three separate covers that way too. Some of them are old enough now that the hardcover might be cheaper or on sale though so you might choose that.
"The Search" part 1 softcover is available here or "The Search" Hardcover part 1-3 is available on sale here.
"Turf Wars" part 1 softcover is available here or "Turf Wars" Hardcover part 1-3 is available on sale here.
You can find the rest of them on Amazon when you get to them too. Have fun!!
This is being done in the graphic novel "The Promise." A three part graphic novel, with part 1 already being released, and part two scheduled to come out in May.

Zuko searches for his mother.
A new comic called The Rift is coming out soon that's about Aang trying to protect sacred airbender lands or something. I'm not completely sure.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Losing family is probably the hardest thing in life.
My closest friend, Catie, has been with me through it all. I've come to her house just for a place to cry more times than I can count, and we've gone on Krispy Kremer driveby's at least once a month. It's now our newest ritual :) She's probably the best person in my life and I wish her all the best in the world :)
Thanks for doing this! Love you! (i'd like this if I win, please)
Yeeeah, Avatar: The Last Airbender!

Small series of books that continues after the show ends. Only the first of 3 (I think it will be 3 anyway), is out... Bought it last week, good stuff though I imagine the 2nd one is going to have more content.
You can buy it from Amazon or you can download it illegally.
>Sure you do.

When it comes to a series that ended 5 years ago, what the heck is wrong with watching them for free online?
They are already online for free in multiple places.
If you haven't seen Avatar Spirits (TLA documentry) yet give it a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdw6YmO8q_k
Do you really think they are against someone watching their show online for free at this point?
Here it is on vimeo

This FAQ page lists the order of the comics. The Ty Lee one you are thinking of is Sisters.

The graphic novel trilogy individual paperback parts can be found on amazon, for example here is The Promise Part 1.
