Definitely fell in love with the whole Avatar world all over again. After finishing the second trilogy of the LOK graphic novels (Ruins of the Empire), I am definitely starting the Kyoshi Novels!

The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire Part Two

Normally I find brainwashing plots hard to swallow but the Avatar world-building has established how it works and The Legend of Korra stories have all been wrapped around how advances in bending has been helping the modernization of their world.

Big battles that were hinted at are solved instead by cunning. Give how many panels and pages can be lost to "epic" battle scenes — yelling, explosions, posturing — it was refreshing to see something different done.

3.5 stars

it has made me realize that even though it's great to digest more LoK content after i have finished the show, the comics aren't as strong as the ATLA comics. the themes in the LoK comics weren't as fully developed as ATLA and they were more plot-driven.

it's great seeing how in this comic, we focus more on fascism and the sides to running a "democratic" society and kuvira's character growth from the 4th book and her taking accountability for her actions.
