Coming of the Toa was the first BIONICLE comic. It centered on Toa Mata Kopaka and Pohatu, as they began the quest for the Masks of Power.

Summary
The comic begins on a beach. A canister opens its lid and Kopaka emerges. Kopaka eventually meets Matoro who was watching him. Matoro told Kopaka where one of the Great Masks of Power, at the Place of Far Seeing. He was then led to Turaga Nuju. On the way the two were attacked by a Nui-Rama. Matoro fell off the ice bridge they were on, but Kopaka saved him. They then were met by Nuju, who told Kopaka about Teridax (known as the Makuta at the time), the history of Mata Nui, his powers and how to defeat Teridax, by collecting the Great Masks of Power. While Kopaka was walking up the mountain, Pohatu accidentally trapped him under a boulder. After Kopaka got out Pohatu insisted on coming along, Kopaka hesitatingly allowed him to come. When they reached the top Kopaka saw and claimed a Hau. Kopaka, after switching back to his Akaku, saw four beings of power, Tahu, Lewa, Onua, and Gali. He and Pohatu went down the mountain immediately to meet them.
