Returning to the Spirit World, Korra and the Airbenders discover that it has become a barren landscape, meanwhile on the outskirts of the portal General Iroh's choice to establish a military presence threatens the balance of human and spirit relations.

Turf Wars

The Legend of Korra

Sarah Sammis

The original animated series set up a city that was growing faster than it could cope with the basic planning a community needs. Filling in those gaps are corrupt politicians, rivals gangs, unscrupulous business moguls.

Current political climate has inspired the tonal shift in the comic. Now Republic City is being flooded with refugees at a time when the spirit world is trying to force everyone out. There's also a new race for the presidency. Meanwhile the gangs are gaining power. Crime is up and unchecked.

Relishing their newfound feelings for each other, Korra and Asami leave the Spirit World . . . but find nothing in Republic City but political hijinks and human vs. spirit conflict! A pompous developer plans to turn the new spirit portal into an amusement park, potentially severing an already tumultuous connection with the spirits. What's more, the triads have realigned and are in a brutal all-out 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 and a couple! Written by series co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino and drawn by Irene Koh T.M.N.T., Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman, Secret Origins: Batgirl, Afrina and the Glass Coffin) and with consultation by Bryan Konietzko, this is the official continuation of The Legend of Korra!

Koh's artwork compliments DiMartino's writing. Together they present a messier, more realistic view of Republic City. Korra and Asami's relationship is out in the open (for better or worse, as it's just one more thing that sets her apart from Aang). Personally I prefer comic book Korra to who she was presented in the series. But there is more freedom to explore her full character in print than there is on a series that is "family oriented."

deserved five star just for this moment


I definitely liked this edition more than the first one. The pacing, plot and characters were great. These graphic novels capture the aesthetic and drama of the TV show so well. I love that the creators thought about how they could write these so that they read like the show watches (if that makes sense). This had great pacing, weaving together many stories and plots whilst maintaining funny and interesting character interactions and growth that didn't take away from the plot. 

Republic City is such a rich world to mine plots from and I really like what they're doing with this. It's a fresh and interesting continuation of the story whilst also keeping some of the original themes and complications from the show - like urbanisation, gang violence and political corruption. These themes are really interesting in this series since they're not so big in the original A;TLA

Korra and Asami ARE MY EVERYTHING. I also am loving Bolin and Mako working together in this. We're hoping my kids Kai and Jinora get more action though because I love them.

korrasami was the first f/f ship I shipped in a tv show that actually became canon that shit still takes my breath away to this day. when I found out Michael Dante DiMartino was writing this comic I knew I had to have it. 

One, because the Avatar Universe is my favourite fantasy world .. honestly probably ever. I've not rewatched a tv show as much as I've rewatched Avatar, and any chance at slipping back into the world was one I was going to take

Two, because Korrasami. I love them so much, and to see two bisexual women of colour depicted in a loving relationship is honestly rare. But it makes me so happy! And I wanted to see how their romance would continue after the sweet but entirely too short ending of The Legend of Korra


  this was literally everything I wanted
. Turf Wars begins immediately after the end of the tv show and instantly the gay is hyped up by about 300%! I mean check this out !



So I definitely got all the cute and the kisses I needed, and expected. I basically just went into this wanting Korrasami, and to see all the Gang back together and I got all of that, so I was stoked.  but this comic then proceeded to knock it out of the ball park by expanding on the universe and queer politics in an interesting and logical way I really liked the exploration of how sexuality works in the world, and how it fitted into each element and kingdom. Plus, Us Bisexuals officially get to claim Avatar Kyoshi as ours and I've never been more pleased.

But genuinely, I think developing the world to be more considering of how sexuality works, and building more explicit sexuality into characters both old and new was such a great thing for this world. 

the downside is that the plot probably isn't the best There was some action and a fight over the spirit portal, the Triple Triad came back and a bunch of massive problems hit Republic City following Kuvira's attack, but this all happened very quickly. For me though, Avatar's appeal has always been it it's characters and world so it didn't actually bother me too much. And I expect that the action will be more prominent in following Parts. 

Honestly the most important thing about this is it made my heart go all 💓💓💓💓 . Thats what I came here for and that is what I got, and honestly I loved this so much and I can't wait for the next parts to be released 

Book one of SapphicAThon complete! (Can we talk about how I've finished three books today holy shit)

OH MY HEART. MY KORRASAMI HEART.

After finishing 'The Legend of Korra' for the second time I HAD to get right into this and continue with the story - AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I love this world so much, and I love that the relationship between Korra and Asami is further developed in these comics. I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND I'M SO HAPPY IT EXISTS.

This definitely packed a lot in a short format!!

I love the more action-y moments in this volume, and I also loved the little moment when Korra and Asami didn't know how to Deal a little bit (disaster bis at your service).

           Oh my, how much I loved reading this. The artwork was gorgeous as always. But what I loved the most about it is Korra and Asami's relationship and how their loved ones support them.
Korra's parents, Tenzin, Kya, and more just have their happiness in mind. I wish every babygay could read this to see the world as it should be, and while there may be some people who don't approve of your gender identity or sexuality, there will be others who will love you and support you no matter what.

I've never seen the show this is based on so a few things were kinda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it was sweet story about two queer ladies settling into their relationship and sharing their joy with family and friends.
