Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Part One

Note: I will not spoil the content of the comic because I would rather you go out and buy the comic yourself.

Irene Koh is a great artist. I've been following her on Twitter for awhile now, and when I saw that she was going to be doing the art for the new Korra comic, I was like, wow, that's cool.

Then I heard the comic would be Korrasami centric and thought, finally, the lgbt content we deserve.

This comic didn't disappoint. With great story by Michael DiMartino (as usual, the Avatar series is one of my favorites), beautiful coloring by Vivian Ng and art by Irene Koh, I was very much looking forward to this story.

Unfortunately, as the internet tends to do, I was spoiled for every. single. lgbt related. piece of content in the book.

Thanks a lot, Twitter.

That said, I still enjoyed reading the story as a whole. My biggest disappointment in any of these Avatar comics is the six month wait between each part. I closed the comic, saw that the next part will come out in January 2018 and yelled in frustration.

Oh well, them's the breaks, I suppose.

Korra and Asami come back from their vacation in the Spirit World to find out that a big corporation wants to use the space that the portal resides in to make an amusement park.

On the other end of things, there is gang activity that is only increasing, political unrest (what else is new in Republic City), and the city's edge is filled with refugees looking for homes to call their own.

This is a lot to balance when coming back from a restful vacation with your new girlfriend.

The LGBT related content is refreshing and respectful. I related a lot to all of the coming out scenes in all forms of them.

I'm looking forward to seeing what January 2018 brings, and delighted by the fact that a mainstream comic has two women who love each other kiss on the second page.

If you like the Avatar series, please give it a read! All of the comics are great... This one needs a little extra support so we can continue to prove to comic industries that healthy LGBT content is the content we want.
