Amy talks “Avatar: the Last Airbender: The Rift, Part One,” the newest graphic novel in the series from Dark Horse that officially continues the story of the Nickelodeon cartoon. For her adventure, she is joined by Dante Basco, the voice-actor who played Prince Zuko, for a lesson in the real martial art behind one of the series’ elemental fighting styles, waterbending: today is all about Tai Chi!
