Read First Few Pages of the Korra Comic

KORRA RETURNS!

[Source: ToonZone] Korrasami begins here: Dark Horse has released a three-page preview of their upcoming Legend of Korra comic book. The pages were published by Entertainment Weekly.

This is perhaps the most anticipated Avatar-verse comic yet, as it reveals exactly what happened after the final scene in the series, when Korra and Asami entered the Spirit World. They looked into each other’s eyes as the camera pulled away, and it was implied that they were falling for one another, which was later confirmed by the series creators. Many fanfics and fan comics have been created since then with their own theories on what that romantic trip must have been like. Now, in this #1 issue written by Michael Dante DiMartino himself, we’ll see the real thing.

 

“Korra has to figure out how to find a new balance in the city with all this stuff that’s gone on,” DiMartino said to the magazine. “It’s gonna take place right after the finale, so it’s focusing on Korra and Asami’s relationship as a new threat emerges. It’s kind of like the aftermath dealing with the new portal in the city, and all the evacuees coming back to find their homes wiped out because of the portal.”

Legend of Korra Comic Book Series Coming Soon

Dark Horse Announces Release Date

For Legend Of Korra Comic Series

[Source: ToonZone] Dark Horse Comics has assured us that the Korra comic project (which was announced last year) is not dead, and released some fresh details today. Like their long-running Avatar series, the Korra comic will tell stories in three mini-novel installments before being published in one big volume. The first of these will be called “Turf Wars.”

The turf in question is the land that the new Spirit Portal is resting on. When Korra and Asami return, they find that it’s causing new problems for residents living around it, and worse yet, a greedy developer wants to make the portal the center of a new amusement park. Michael Dante DiMartino, co-creator of all elemental bending, will personally be writing the script, with feedback from Bryan Konietzko. The art will be handed by Irene Koh.

“Korra has to figure out how to find a new balance in the city with all this stuff that’s gone on,” DiMartino said to EW. “It’s gonna take place right after the finale, so it’s focusing on Korra and Asami’s relationship as a new threat emerges. It’s kind of like the aftermath dealing with the new portal in the city, and all the evacuees coming back to find their homes wiped out cause of the portal.”

The bad news is that we’re going to have to wait even longer to start reading this; the first chapter isn’t due out until June of 2017. But once that date rolls around, you won’t have to rely on fan comics anymore to get your Korrasami fix.

Big Fish and Begonia

From the animation company that

brought us Legend of Korra...

Big Fish and Begonia

[Source: blastr] Merge into the magical realm of shape-shifting dolphins, Asian fire dragons, flying unicorn fish, evil wizards and funneling water spirits in this first fantastic trailer for Big Fish and Begonia, an upcoming anime fantasy feature from Studio Mir, the animation company that brought us Legend of Korra.

Directors Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun have been developing this ambitious anime fairy tale for over a decade via crowdfunding and their self-owned studio, B&T. Studio Mir became attached to the lyrical film, once titled Da Hai,  in 2014, and now it's destined for a wide Chinese release on July 8, 2016.

Here's the official synopsis:

It is a world within our world, yet unseen by any human, and the beings here control time and tide and the changing of the seasons. On the day Chun turns sixteen, she is transformed into a dolphin to explore the human world. She is rescued from a vortex by a human boy at the cost of his own life. Chun is so moved by the boy's kindness and courage that she decides to give him life again. But to do this, she must protect the boy's soul, a tiny fish, and nurture it to grow. Through adventure and sacrifice, love grows, yet now she must release him back to the sea, back to life in the human world.

Hopefully the date for an American premiere will be announced soon!

The Finale of The Legend of Korra

The Legend of Korra Series Finale 

Review: New Beginnings

• [Source: Yahoo!News, Written by Noel Kirkpatrick]
• NOTE: SPOILERS AHEAD!
• To say that The Legend of Korra had a rocky life is perhaps a bit of an understatement. Originally commissioned as a stand alone miniseries, Nickelodeon decided to order two and then three more seasons. Long breaks between seasons weren't on the docket, so Book 2 was rushed out, half of it shoddily animated by a different studio from Book 1, with episodes often being completed just before they aired on TV. Then Book 3 was plopped on the schedule with zero promotion and wasn't available online (legally) only to be yanked off TV as it entered its home stretch and made available only online, something that was supposedly planned all along. Book 4 premiered not long after Book 3 wrapped up, but only only online. Then, as it entered its home stretch, Nickelodeon decided to put it back on TV because who knows what they're drinking over there. Book 4 was also the victim of budget cuts that would've forced the shows' creators to either layoff employees or do a clip show episode. They chose to do the clip show.
• I recount all of this madness to remind all of us that Korra likely shouldn't have been as good as it was given everything that the show's teams had to experience, but that it likely could've been better at times as well had the show not been under such intense production pressure. Aesthetically, it's a small wonder that Books 3 and 4 looked as good as they given how painful Book 2 often looked, and that kind of a rebound is to be commended. Structurally, Book 1 ended up feeling like a stand alone novel while Books 2, 3, and 4 comprised their own trilogy. It may be why Book 1 remains my favorite of all the seasons.

• But Book 4 is my second favorite, and in it's no small due to this final pair of episodes. Yes, there were other good episodes in Book 4—"Korra Alone" should immediately spring to mind for all of us—but there's clearly an "All right, let's do this." attitude running through both "Day of the Colossus" and "The Last Stand," a sort of no-holds barred, pulling no punches action extravaganza that reminded me of the action sequences I enjoyed a great deal in Book 1 but that the show never really found again until around the end of Book 3 and especially here, in the series finale.
• We thankfully avoided the Giant Blue Spirit Korra versus Platinum Mecha battle that I fretted a little bit last week, and instead we treated to a two-part battle against the mecha that ran the gamut from intricate plans with paints and wires to "LET'S SEE IF DROPPING HALF A BUILDING ON IT WILL STOP THE THING." There was an inordinate amount of destruction, and I really hope that Wu's group of citizens were the only ones left in Republic City, otherwise we're looking at Man of Steel-level causalities here considering all the buildings that were demolished in the battle. 
• Ultimately, it was nice seeing everyone work together as a team. Meelo's idea about the paint-filled balloons? Terrific, and so very Meelo. All the new airbenders got to show off their training as they tried to knock over the mecha with gusts of wind after Bolin tried to unsteady it with lavabending. Varrick and Zhu Li took down some mecha suits and EMP. Siblings got to team up inside the mecha with Lin and Su taking out the cannon arm and Mako and Bolin working together to try and destroy the engine before the show half-heartedly teased a noble sacrifice from Mako. The show even paid off that brief subplot of Asami and her father reconciling as he helped bring the hummingbird suits up to snuff and then sacrificed himself for the sake of the mission.

• We also got, thankfully, a proper battle between Korra and Kuvira. I loved the decision to stage it in a contained space to set it apart from their duel in the field at Zaofu. With Korra no longer weighed down by the poisons and her own self-doubt, she was entering the Avatar state as needed, though I don't think she ever actually used it against Kuvira. Their fight in the mecha's control room demonstrated the degree to which Kuvira was able to hold her own against Korra, thinking tactically with moves like using the liquid metal controls or the metal plate to throw off a potential knock out blast of airbending. Korra may have had the raw power, but Kuvira strategy, and so it was nice to see all that collide.
• So, yes, there was plenty of action, but there was also lots of good non-action stuff in the finale, too. Varrick and Zhu Li got engaged and then got married, and it was fantastic, and I say this as someone who has hated the show for making me like Varrick after all his amoral nonsense in Book 2 and how poorly he treated Zhu Li, but, hey, if she always imagined their engagement would involve squaring off against a giant robot, then who am I to stand in the way of true love? While I think more time with Hiroshi might've helped his death really land, my attachment to Asami sort of made up for that particular gap.
• Even Wu was granted an opportunity to redeem his foppish ways by using badger moles to get people out of the city with singing. It was silly, yes, but it still sort of fit Wu's personality. I don't think that Wu had much of an arc to get to the point where he was smart enough to think up this evacuation plan and then decide to dissolve the monarchy of the Earth Kingdom, but this pair of episodes certainly made him look more mature and less like a clown.

• So much of this season was about Korra coming to grips with herself, however, that this is where I was looking for a big payoff. I don't think I fully got it, but I'm still generally happy where things ended up for Korra's sense of self. I do not believe that Korra really learned anything from all the major opponents she squared off against over the course of the series—something that Toph had suggested during their time in the swamp—at least not in a way that she fully acknowledged.
• We've discussed Korra's fight first, maybe ask questions later approach to problem-solving, and through her own trials, she finally realized that what was missing was that she needed to ask questions first and understand who she was fighting, that sense of compassion. Arguably, what drove all of Korra's Big Bads was a sense of compassion, albeit to an extreme, misguided place, and Korra was never really very interested in understanding that until after the fact, if at all. Seeing Kuvira as her mirrored self in the spirit portal finally drove home the idea that if only she had truly understood Kuvira—whose psychological motivations come a smidgen too late here, but at least it explained her very extreme reaction to Baatar Jr.'s desire to give up the fight—a lot of this might've been avoided. 
• Korra actually sitting down to talk with Kuvira in the spirit world was a huge step for her. It was different from sitting down to talk to Zaheer in Book 3 in the spirit world as Zaheer was interested only in lecturing and stalling for time. Here, it was about relating to Kuvira, not coming down to her level but meeting her at it and acknowledging Kuvira as a person with an emotional inner-world and trying to find the similarities between the two of them. I had never much thought of Kuvira as a mirror of Korra since my concept of Kuvira largely hinged on how she melded different aspects of her villainous predecessors, but the conceit worked. While I still think that Korra's journey to this point hasn't been the smoothest from a writing and plotting standpoint across the entire series, Book 4 is easily the soundest installment in this regard, and I'm very grateful for it.
• So. Was there anything else we needed to talk about from the finale before some closing thoughts...?

• I've long declared my general disinterest in 'shipping as a primary way to engage a show. Yes, I have couples I like and am invested in, and I will whine and moan when I feel like a show hasn't done anything to really make me see why two people should be together. This had long been my stance regarding the Korra-Mako-Asami triangle since I never really got why either of them were interested in Mako aside from the fact that he's the only single dude around who wasn't Bolin. And while I've also maintained through this season that I have not only loved Korra and Asami's friendship, I never really considered the idea them being a couple, let the show doing this, and really let alone having it be the final character moment of the finale.
• I can understand resistance to the idea that Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are declaring that Korra and Asami are starting a relationship together, but I just don't think the episode really supports that resistance and it is, in fact, declaring Korra and Asami as a couple. Consider the fact that Mako's conversation with Korra is "I want you to know that I'll follow you into battle no matter how crazy things get. I've got your back, and I always will." He's not declaring his love for Korra, or even Asami. It's actually the clearest Mako's ever been about his feelings ever by saying what he wants to be is the Robin to Korra's Batman. 
• Then there's Asami and Korra talking by themselves, neither ready to go back to the celebration. That entire conversation is leading up to a kiss and/or confession of feelings between the two of them we would never ever get on a kid-targeted animated series. (Adventure Time has a similar lack of explicitness—and general confusion—regarding Princess Bubblegum and Marceline.) The most we can get is the hand holding and the meaningful stare as the spirit portal's light swirl around them. If you replace Asami with a male character, not only is there not any ambiguity about the intention of the scene, but there's not any need for ambiguity either, since a kiss would've gotten through standards and practices in that context. So I was giddy about this, not only as someone who really loved the relationship between these two and found myself thinking, "Yes. I like this development" but that the show chose to (almost) end itself with that image. It's a bold, progressive closing note that I hope other shows that target a child and teen demographic take note of.

• The Legend of Korra was the very first show I wrote about for TV.com, a wrap-up post that Jen suggested when she and I first discussed me joining the site. As a result, the show has a degree of freelancer sentiment attached to it for me, and due to that, it will always be a little bit special to me.
• It doesn't mean I'm blind to its faults, as I'm sure my frustrations with Book 2 proved. Korra could be a maddening show sometimes, especially as it seemed like Korra herself never really grew all that much until Book 4. The show's attempts at romance were never very convincing—THOUGH NOW WE KNOW WHY—and its Big Bads were arguably unevenly executed. Some folks didn't care for the technological advancements, and some just didn't care for Korra as a character.
• The show's unsteady development of Korra aside, I liked Korra. She was cocky and impulsive and repeatedly fell victim to her own insecurities and faults. Like Aang, she often didn't know what to do and would run from the issue before finding what she needed to pull her together to get the job done. She wasn't perfect, and that was the point. She had to grow up and struggle to living the shadow of the only Avatar people could remember whereas most people in Aang's day likely couldn't even remember Avatar Roku and thus couldn't compare the two. She represented the weight and burdens of a generational transition that, frankly, no one had (or could) prepare her for. And those were the challenges she faced, and that's what Korra was about. It was a coming of age story for a character in a world that itself was coming of age. Both Korra and the world around her were trying to figure themselves out, creating all the conflicts across the series.
• I don't know what Korra's "legacy" will be, and I won't try to predict it. What I do know is that I will miss it, and this universe.

---

• LEAVES ON THE WIND

• Since we got to see a lot more of it, I really loved the design of the giant mecha, and how it was pretty seamlessly integrated into the look of the show. 
• My one very big gripe about Book 4? Not nearly enough Tenzin. Korra and Tenzin's relationship has really been settled at the end of Book 2, and the series never found more of them to really do, and I am forever sad about that. Apart from Asami and Korra, Tenzin and Korra was my favorite relationship on the show.
• Tahno of the Wolfbats as a trombone player!! He showed up last week in a quick scene during the evacuation order, but now he's playing the trombone. I'm glad his hair is all better.
• Varrick was raised on a farm and taken by circus people. OKAY THEN.
• "I'm just so happy you're here now. I don't think I could've handled losing you and my father in the same day." Seriously. They're a couple, folks.

NYCC 2014: "The Legend of Korra" Panel

[Source: ToonZone] With the fourth and final season of the Legend of Korra underway the show’s panel at NYCC had an air of finality to it, and familiar guests were introduced by Nickelodeon VP of series animation Megan Casey: Executive producers Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were joined by voice cast members Janet Varney (Korra), David Faustino (Mako), and P.J. Byrne (Bolin).

 

After a brief welcome from Konietzko DiMartino introduced the audience to the second episode of Book 4, Korra Alone, which was screened a day ahead of its public release. He commented that whereas Korra’s presence was scarce in the first episode of the season this episode is fixated on the lead character and her struggle to recover from the events of Book 3′s ending, and that for them this was a “crowning achievement” in terms of the serious moments they’d done in the show and in Avatar: The Last Airbender. With that the entire panel left the stage to watch the episode from the floor, to the delight of enthused fans near the front of the room.

With the episode completed, everyone returned to the stage and it became time for some treats for the audience and words of farewell. Varney, Byrne and Faustino presented a humorous outtake-laden video of the trio at the recording studio that ended with words of appreciation to the creative team and the fans. In addition an audio clip was played of the trio recording together for the first time, auditioning to see what kind of chemistry they would have together. The scene an early version of an exchange in episode 2 of Book 1, where Bolin introduces Korra to Mako while being oblivious to the fact that she is the avatar. In the early draft the scene is considerably prolonged by banter between Bolin and Mako and some extra sass from Korra. Eventually Mako catches on and clues in his brother about who Korra is, contrary to the finished episode where he has his “you’re the Avatar, and I’m an idiot” moment. Playing the clip was P.J. Byrne’s idea.

With those treats finished, the voice cast took turns expressing warm sentiments about their time on the show. Varney recounted a time when Sara Noonan at Nickelodeon asked her ahead of the show’s premiere if she was ready for her life to change, which she finds it has due to the fanbase and the work itself. Varney remarked that she can’t imagine working on anything better than The Legend of Korra and that she was “honored” to be a part of it. “I believe in this show the way I believe in ‘Avatar.’ It’s going to live forever because it is just that Goddamn good!” Faustino thanked the fans for their support on social media and cited the “tremendous time” he had working on the show, while Byrne thanked the creators for their work in delivering a “historic show” and feels that his time on the show was “a gift”. Byrne also remarked that the others are like family now and Faustino agreed, divulging that Byrne and Varney have been to his house. Byrne ended by acknowledging Konietzko and DiMartino, saying that the world would be lucky to receive whatever they come up with next.

After this Konietzko and DiMartino reciprocated with thanks for the voice cast and their whole creative team, with Konietzko acknowledging that they didn’t do it all alone and that they have been fortunate to have talented people on the project that care as much as they do. DiMartino thanked Varney, Faustino and Byrne for their commitment and called them part of the “Avatar family”, prompting Konietzko to chime in with thanks for the way they’ve been “great ambassadors” for The Legend of Korra.

With that Konietzko began a presentation of conceptual artwork related to the events of Book 4, which is summarized below. Images can be clicked on and enlarged.

Kuvira and Her Followers

While the team was writing Book 3 they came up with the idea that Kuvira would be Book 4′s main antagonist, so they tried to “weave her throughout the season” and she was one of the metalbending dancers at Su Beifong’s gymnasium in “The Metal Clan”. Konietzko wanted her to be a “kickass metal bender” and gave her armor to match that idea early on, although he ended up adjusting it out of worry the early design was “too superhero-y”. He also knew it would be a complicated design to animated and wanted to simplify things. This was also a reason Kuvira ended up with a bun hairstyle instead of a long braid from her early design, as “the animators in Korea almost killed me for the tassels the Earth Queen had” while he reasoned that she would have a more “refined look” as a military leader. Kuvira’s outfit helped define the look for the rest of her army.

Kuvira’s second in command is Baatar Jr., a “wet noodle”. Konietzko didn’t have time to do it, but he wanted to come onto stage dressed up in his uniform. The different ranks in Kuvira’s army are denoted to Chevron badges, with the number of bars denoting the level of rank. Bolin holds the rank of Corporal. The “Stormtrooper-y” metalbenders bear a “World War II style helmet with a samurai influence”, while to him the helmets and masks of the Privates are “G.I. Joe flashbacks” as he grew up on the show.

Kuvira’s people make use of vehicles reminiscent of bullet trains, drawing on Varrick’s innovations with magnets. The designs of their hardware are intended as militaristic variations on the art deco look that characterizes the city of Zaofu. As a “master of robots” Joaquim Dos Santos conceptualized the mecha of Kuvira’s army as streamlined metal suits used by Kuvira’s soldiers, but because the storyboard artists kept drawing them larger than intended they were scaled up and outfitted with new features.

The Air Nation

The team went about “modernizing” the air nation with the new wingsuits used by the new generation of Airbenders in Book 4, which Konietzko revealed were designed by none other than Asami herself and produced by her company. The early designs had a baggy sort of look, which they soon streamlined as they imagined how the suit would look when the user was in flight. Opal was used as the main model for the final design. Konietzko noted that some have observed that Opal and Korra seem to share a similar hair style, which was actually not intended per Opal’s model sheet. But after animation and coloring work, the similarities of their hair worked out that way. Konietzko is “stoked” about how the wingsuits ultimately worked out and was pleased to observe the final result when Kai and Opal debuted them in Book 4′s first episode.

Korra In Book 4

A significant three year time skip separates Book 4 from Book 3, and Korra was made taller since according to Konietzko this is the easiest way to show that someone has grown up in animation. “Sorry haters, Korra is even taller now!” The dark spectre of her Avatar self that she sees constantly throughout Korra Alone shares her new height. Every look Korra sports in Book 4 demands their own original designs, from her varying Earth kingdom-themed garb and new hair styles to her appearances when she suffers battle damage. In time Korra will take on a new “Korra, the Avatar look” evocative of her original appearance.

Saying Goodbye and Thank You

Finally the presentation and the panel came to an end, and Mr. Konietzko offered this final message for the fans:

“This is a really big deal for us. It’s been 12 years since we came up with this whole Avatar universe together. Avatar means so many different things to so many different people, but to me when I think of it and the creation of it I think of me and Mike sitting at my computer at this little rented house in burbank. We’d just share the keyboard, we would take turns, and over two weeks we cracked open this whole universe together. 12 and a half years later and it’s just blossomed into something so huge, and it’s such a big part of our lives and so many people all over the world. These characters are real to us, you know – not in a delusional way, but in an emotional way. They really mean a lot to me, and I know to Mike as well…we just want to say thanks."

Legend of Korra | Book 4: Balance Official Trailer

Nickelodeon might be as confused as ever about what to do with it, but that hasn’t stopped the creators of Legend of Korra from cranking out one of the most compelling anime series on television. Now we have our first look at the final season.

The network has debuted the first trailer for Legend of Korra: Book 4, just a few days before the new season debuts online at Nick.com. This will mark the series’ final season, and picks up the action three years after the conclusion of Book 3. Not surprisingly, a whole lot has changed in the meantime.

Despite the fact that Nick has kicked the show off the schedule due to atrocious ratings and relegated it to an online exclusive, Korra shows no signs of slowing down creatively as it heads into its final arc. One big twist we can expect? The return of a major, fan-favorite character from Avatar: The Last Airbender, teased in the trailer below. Oh yeah.

The trailer sets out to ask if Korra can maintain balance in a world that is rapidly changing. 

The new season debuts Oct. 3 on Nick.com.

‘The Legend of Korra’ Season 2

Starts Friday, September 13, 2013

at 6:00 pm (CT) on Nickelodeon
Bringing the long, un-bendable wait to an end!

 "Yahoo!"

Though the official panel at San Diego Comic-Con revealed the news that The Legend of Korra season 2 (entitled ‘Book 2: Spirits’) would debut in September, no specific release date was announced at that time. The show’s first season officially aired from April through June of last year, and ever since, devoted fans have (sometimes literally) been waiting on the edge of their seats for the Legend of Korra season 2 release date.

The Legend of Korra season 2 promises not to disappoint. A trailer for the season was released at San Diego Comic-Con, and contains so many exciting elements (Desperate battles! Communion with past Avatars! Waterfall slides!) that it’s hard to decide which part makes us most excited.

Watch the new trailer for The Legend of Korra season 2 here:

The Legend of Korra season 2 will also introduce several intriguing new characters to Korra’s world. Fans will meet Korra’s extended family for the first time, which includes her imperious uncle Unalaq and impassive twin cousins Desna and Eska. In addition, a specially-designed flashback episode will introduce fans to Wan, the very first Avatar, who will be voiced by Steven Yuen of The Walking Dead.
