Mako and Bolin set off towards Penquan Island in the Fire Nation to find answers to a case—and maybe a little bit of their past along the way.

When a strange missing persons case falls into his lap, Mako is forced to choose between his job and doing what he feels is right! An upturned room and an unhelpful witness aren’t promising starts to the investigation, but when his brother Bolin comes across a surprising clue that ties their own mother to the case, the pair embark on a journey to the small, rustic island of Penquan. The island’s inhabitants seem to have things to hide, and the brothers are determined to get to the bottom of it—even if it means uncovering uncomfortable parts of their family’s past.

Written by Eisner-nominated graphic novelist Kiku Hughes (Displacement) with artists Alex Monik (The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time) and Diana Sousa (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins) in collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko!
Kiku Hughes is the author of The Legend of Korra: The Mystery of Penquan Island.

Alexandria Monik is a self-taught artist with experience working in comics, animation, and games. She enjoys drawing expressive characters, fantasy, and whimsy. She also specializes in adapting to a variety of art styles. Her love of art and her personal style has been inspired heavily by animation and manga. Such as Death Note, ATLA, Princess Mononoke, and many 2D animated classics. If she's not drawing, she's probably buying a new plant, spending time with her fiancé and her dog Yennefer, or rewatching Lord of the Rings.

Diana Sousa lives in Portugal, where she works as a comic book colorist, and as a freelance graphic designer doing layout for TTRPG books. In 2023 she was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Coloring for her work in several Critical Role projects with Dark Horse Comics.
