The Legend Of Korra: Turf Wars Library Edition

Product Information

Didn't Think This Through: Korra, being Korra, immediately wants to be open about her relationship with Asami and doesn't take her parents' well-intentioned warning of others' potential narrow-mindedness well, but it's not until she realizes she didn't take Asami's thoughts into consideration that she eases up and apologizes. The spirit asks Korra to close the portal, insisting that the portal was never meant to be and that humans will only exploit it, after which Korra asks why the spirits were suddenly interested in human conflicts. The spirit tells her that now there is a portal to the Spirit World in the middle of a metropolis, the spirits must be protected. Korra understands, telling the spirit that everybody wants to keep the spirits safe but that the new spiritual energy will have a harmonious effect on the citizens of Republic City. The spirit concedes eventually, but also tells her that while he can not force her to close the portals, she is going to be held responsible for keeping the portal safe before leaving. Asami tells Korra that she will not have to protect it alone, and the airbenders support her. Still angry about them for trespassing, Wonyong shouts at the group to leave, making Korra go into the Avatar State and scare him and his construction workers away.

While not as good as the series itself, I liked it and am happy that I've read it. Now onto Ruins of the Empire. a b Morris, Steve (May 19, 2017).

In the first issue, Jinora interrupts Korra and Asami's coming out to Mako and Bolin, though unintentionally and not for comedic reasons. Immediate Sequel: The comic begins with Korra and Asami arriving in the Spirit World, right where the series left off. While no outright homophobia occurs in Turf Wars, the collection does attempt to present a world somewhat similar to our own where bigotry is present. Their friends and family celebrate Korra and Asami’s love, but caution that others might not feel the same way about the new couple. The Fire Nation’s century-long empire enforced strict anti-queer laws that have fostered lingering hate, and the ancient Earth Kingdom still clings to old beliefs and traditions. While a reasonable attempt to provide real-world analogs for the series’ target YA audience, it could also be argued that a fictional setting such as the world of Korra could simply not include such bigotry and give those young readers an ideal to hope for in their own lives.

The thing to know about these graphic novels, just like the Avatar ones, is that they are broken up into trilogies. Together they tell the full story of the trilogy and it is best to start with volume one.

Jerkass Ball: Korra grabs it early on after coming out to her parents, accusing Tonraq of being narrow-minded and storming out of the house when he and Senna warn her that not everyone will accept her being bisexual, nevermind that he himself had no problem with it. Thankfully, she throws it away after a talk with Asami. The dragon bird spirit that Korra befriended in "A New Spiritual Age" takes Korra and Asami to various locations during their trip.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: For a given value of "hero", the Dragon-Eel Spirit doing the usual spirit thing of disfiguring a mortal, this time Tokuga, only makes him into an Empowered Badass Normal, who is faster, stronger, and smarter than he was before. Had the spirit not done it, he'd remain just another Badass Normal criminal Korra could mop up and call it a day. Tokuga takes over the Triple Threat Triads after Kuvira's failed invasion and proceeds to go on a turf war against the other gangs and eventually tries to take over the city itself while Republic City's resources are still stretched thin from the recent crisis. overall• this whole reading experience feels surreal, i feel like i might wake up from a dream at any moment
