Most of us have eagerly anticipated it - the The Legend of Korra - comic trilogy!
After more than a year of radio silence, we've finally got some information about the Korra - comics!
Granted, some of the info is old and it isn't a lot but it's still better than nothing. This thread should serve as a place in which we all can discuss the comic as it is still in the works - it can be anything; news (whether here or in this thread), plot or what you wish to see.
I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely excited for Turf Wars and it cannot come soon enough.
Here's a summary of all the info we've got so far:
- The official title for the comic series is Turf Wars
- Turf Wars is going to be a trilogy which will pick up the story right after where it left off in the finale
Description from Dark Horse: "Turf Wars begins with Korra and Asami leaving the spirit world and returning to Republic City only to find political hijinks and human vs. spirit conflict, as a pompous developer plans to turn the new spirit portal into an amusement park, potentially severing an already tumultuous connection with the spirits. In addition, the triads have realigned and are in a brutal brawl at the city’s borders where hundreds of evacuees have relocated. In order to get through it all, Korra and Asami vow to look out for each other—but first, they’ve got to get better at being a team."
