The Coming of the Toa is the first installment of Comics, in which the Toa arrive on Mata Nui and begin their quest for the Kanohi.

Summary

The comic begins as Toa Mata Kopaka awakens and blasts open his Toa Canister. He pieces himself together before an audience of Ussal crabs, and meets Ko-Matoran Matoro. The Toa of Ice saw the Matoran as an enemy, and attacks him. However, it was soon realised that Matoro was not a foe, and Kopaka was consequently informed of his summoning to Mata Nui and his quest to collect Kanohi masks.

The duo then proceeded to meet with Turaga Nuju. As they walk, the pair was ambushed by a Nui-Rama, causing Matoro to fall over a cliff. Kopaka quickly saves the falling Matoran, and the two lands on a flowing stream of water which Kopaka freezes.

They soon met with Turaga Nuju, who informs Kopaka more of his quest and the threats which the Makuta had brought on the island. Kopaka then departs for Mount Ihu, in search of his first mask, a Kanohi Hau.

As he scales Mount Ihu, Kopaka is met with Pohatu, who accidentally buries Kopaka in a pile of rocks whilst "practising" his skills. Freeing himself, Kopaka reluctantly allows the Toa of Stone to travel alongside him. Soon afterwards, Kopaka finds the object of his quest, and then quickly descends the mountain with Pohatu. They soon find themselves with the company of the other four, remaining Toa Mata.
