Legend Of Korra Returns To Dark Horse With New Turf Wars Series

The Legend of Korra came to it's celebrated conclusion back in 2014, and while there have been other projects related to the franchise, Dark Horse Comics is picking up where things left off in a new series called Turf Wars.

The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars will be a three part graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics, and will feature the return of series co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino on writer duties alongside artist Irene Koh (Batgirl, 1602), colorist Jane Bak, cover artist Heather Campbell (The Legend of Korra: FCBD edition), and with consultation from Korra co-creator Bryan Konietzko.

Turf Wars picks up upon Korra and Asami's return to Republic City from the Spirit World, but it's not yet known how much time has passed since they left at the end of the original series. Upon their return, they discover that the city is in turmoil from multiple fronts, both from greedy government officials and from rival gangs attempting to take the city for themselves.

You can read the official description below.

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 has met continual success with its Avatar: The Last Airbender series, and The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars should be no different. The new book is slated for a June 2017 release, and you can catch the first image from the new series in the gallery.
