Dark Horse Comics will release the first volume in a brand-new The Legend of Korra graphic novel series, The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars in June 2017.

This three-part graphic novel series is written by Nickelodeon TV series co-creator and executive producer Michael Dante DiMartino, drawn by Irene Koh (Batgirl, 1602, TMNT), with covers by Heather Campbell (Free Comic Book Day 2016: The Legend of Korra), and consultation by TV series co-creator and executive producer Bryan Konietzko.

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.

Dark Horse’s award-winning Avatar: The Last Airbender program has seen multiple number-one New York Times bestsellers and continues to grow with the current North and South series written by Gene Luen Yang, an Eisner Award winner and the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. Turf Wars is the latest release in an ongoing partnership between Nickelodeon and Dark Horse to bring fans the very best in graphic novels.

The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Parts 1–3 will serve as the official continuation of The Legend of Korra television series. The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Part 1 is available for preorder today at local comic shops or through these fine retailers: Amazon, Barnes and Noble and IndieBound.

He will have to feel shit that his dick game was so bad he turned them off boys.

The spirit of Bud Bundy lives onwards.

 

[Lord Panda]

They couldn't come up with something more creative than 'Turf Wars'?

 

[tkscz]

There is still hope for Boleska to be a thing.

Seemingly not.

 

[Blackhead]

take my money now

 

[Mass Effect]

Yeah, it's also a bit misleading. I thought this was going to be about the various gangs in Rupublic City, not spirits be humans.

Still, I'm all for more Korra or anything in the Avatar universe, so I'm happy.

 

[Shard]

The Triads are also going to be in this.

 

[Discotheque]

Korrasami was the relationship we deserved. Definitely will read this as long as the writer stays involved

Have the creators announced that they're working on any new shows?

 

[Mass Effect]

The Triads are also going to be in this.

Oh I see that now. Didn't catch that the first time I read through it.

 

[Takyon]

Doesn't sound great. I feel as if they're included Triads again just to have some bending fights, even though non of the Avatar comics have really succeeded in making these fights exciting.

Bolin's got Opal
Varrick and Zhu Li are married
Korra and Asami are together
even Jinora has got Kai

Mako's just gonna walk into Lin's office, drop his pants, and start desperately crying

They'll throw Mako a bone.

 

[ZiZ]

Can't say I'm very excited. I didn't enjoy the comics based on the first series, and I strongly prefer Aang's run over Korra's.

 

[Nia]

Bolin's got Opal
Varrick and Zhu Li are married
Korra and Asami are together

You reminded me that I hate him. I forgot if he got any better.

They pretty much stuffed him in a corner in Season 4.

 

[DangerMouse]

Cool, looking forward to it.

 

[Astral Dog]

just make it a fifth season

 

[Shaanyboi]

With what, a budget of like $20?

If he bags Lin, he's won it all anyhow.

 

[Debirudog]

Literally the reason this is getting made.

 

[Smoolio]

YES! finally, still so long

Irene Koh on lines, has already done some Korra fan art, mildly nsfw:

I think this is possible a prototype for the design or wip:

Nice cover.

Looks like Bolin joins the police too.

its good to dream

 

[carlsojo]

Aww I missed Korra.

 

[JadedWriter]

Will buy this for Asami, I adore her.

I'm fine with Asami, just not with Korra. I'm down for lesbian ships but Korrasami, just don't float my boat. Korvira's a different story though.
