what to read before comics avatar: the last airbender?
Rather than reading, it’s better to watch the TV series again, before or in parallel with the first comics, as you prefer. But it’s also the perfect place to recognize the two novels chronicling Avatar Kyoshi’s early life, which take place 396 years before the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender. you can read them whenever you want.
- kyoshi’s rise
- kyoshi’s shadow

Also taking place before the events depicted in the television series, you can read more about Zuko in a graphic novel detailing the years between his banishment and the avatar’s reappearance. it was released as a companion to the 2010 movie, but it still fits pretty well within canon (thanks to someone in the comments!)

Finally, you can revisit the animated TV series, with a screen comic that retells the original series with full-color visuals and dialogue from the series, published by random house.
