  • Avatar: The Last Airbender ended its three year run of original episodes with the two hour series finale for the show. Fans have come together on forums, in chat rooms, and even in person to share the experience. Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were at the San Diego Comic Con and hosted an Avatar panel where they were asked about any other Avatar projects in the works. In any event, it's been a wonderful ride and we have much to thank Mike, Bryan, the show staff, and Nick for. The show may be over, but both the fandom and the Avatar universe go on. Here's hoping the next projects will be as good as or even better than the first! - 20 July, 2008
