The Legend Of Korra: Turf Wars Library Edition

Product Information

Also, Kya is a lesbian, which is nice and all - but, I'm just saying, that should've been in the show. It's already enough of an annoyance that Korra and Asami didn't get to kiss at the end, but if Kya likes girls that could've been in the show. But hey, I know there were probably censors (because showing Korra suffering from PTSD is okay but two girls kissing isn't), so I appreciate at least that this book is showing that. While the miniseries’ villain leaves much to be desired, the minor conflicts prove much more interesting and developed. Raiko’s flailing grasps at maintaining power butting heads with Zhu Li and Asami’s dreams of a future for Republic City are entertaining and give a satisfying conclusion to Raiko’s arc left dangling through the television series. The still-rebuilding Air Nation’s increasingly active role in the development of Republic City and the Spirit World’s increased presence is an exciting direction for the setting. I don't really know when it happened but just my love for Tenzin, apparently, just grew tenfold with absence because that brief appearance had me swooning and grinning. 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. I really liked how, with the very first volume, the story jumps right into Korra and Asami's relationship, having them discuss it, talking about coming out, and even mentioning the different ways every nation reacts to same-sex relationships.

Miraculous books like this make me want to add a sub-shelf to my Goodreads LBGTQ shelf, called "They actually kiss in this". The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Part One' portrays a more thoughtful, heartfelt and especially explicit LBGTQ relationship than any media for adults I have seen in a long, long time. Just thinking about how gratifying this little comic book could be for any young person reading and who is discovering their feelings regarding own their sexuality that is outside of conservative heteronormality, and working out any confusion, gives me hope for the future. It turns out that in the beloved, fantastical, Asian culture-influenced world of 'The Legend of Korra', most people are accepting of who you are, and who you love. So there shouldn't be any shame or fear of stigma or hate or ignorance anywhere in the real world.Heather Campbell (cover artist), Michael DiMartino (writer), Irene Koh (interior artist), Vivian Ng (colorist), Nate Piekos (letterer), Paul Reinwand (layout artist).

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Lin is unwilling to go after Keum without hard evidence because he's politically connected. Turf Wars features Korra and Asami being awesome as always, Zhu Li being the boss, Bolin and Opal being their adorable selves, Mako being clueless and Kya being the most awesome woman on earth.

Coup de Grâce: In Tokuga's first scene, he overpowers Jargala, the leader of the Creeping Crystal Triad and attempts to finish her off with one of these courtesy of his hookswords. The arrival of the anti-Triad taskforce interrupts Tokuga before he can deliver the finishing blow, forcing him to flee and allowing Jargala to escape. After a refreshing sojourn in the Spirit World, Korra and Asami return to Republic City but find nothing but political hijinks and human vs. spirit conflict! Pompous developer Wonyong Keum plans to turn the new spirit portal into an amusement park, potentially severing an already tumultuous connection with the spirits. At the city's edge, Zhu Li enlists everyone she can to aid the thousands of hungry and homeless evacuees who have relocated there. Meanwhile, the Triple Threats' ruthless new leader, Tokuga, is determined to unite the other triads under his rule, no matter the cost. Korra takes Asami to meet her parents and she cames out. Korra's parents are pleased with the news, but Korra's father warns that some people may not be as positive and advises them not to advertise about the relationship.

And they both make a pledge that they want to be together, that's the way it is, and that won't change no matter what anyone thinks about it. It's a kind of strong character moment in-story, but on the meta-level it can also be read as the writers doubling down on the artistic direction they chose, and damn the real-life bigots. a b c d e f g Sava, Oliver (July 28, 2017).

The Triads are ramped up to a serious threat, as opposed to the laughable jokes they were in the series. The artwork is absolutely stunning.

The art style is different in here - in the ATLA comics, it's almost exact from the show, whereas this style is rougher and less exact. And I liked that; it's different. According to Kya, who is revealed to be a lesbian, her father Aang was nothing but supportive of this given Air Nomad culture. a b c d e f g h Whitbrook, James (July 26, 2017).

She explains that this is where the Creeping Crystal Triad got its name. It doesn't pan out, as Tokuga is able to smash the crystal and free himself before it can cover enough of him.
