Vague New Info About the Korra Comics from Mike

From Mike DiMartino’s AMA today about his new book:

  • “But I’m currently writing the Korra graphic novels and we get to see much more of Korra and Asami’s relationship develop without any limitations from a TV network, which has been freeing to say the least.” Context 
  • “For the comics, it is a bit similar to writing another season (though a very short season…) But I knew exactly where I wanted to start – moments after the finale ends, with Korra and Asami entering the spirit world…” Context
  • “Not sure what you mean by “explicit” but their relationship will be a focus of the comics, for sure.” Context
  • “The comics will definitely give us a chance to explore more about the characters – stay tuned for that!” Context
  • “Ha. Maybe a… 6? The thing about the comics (which I like) is that we are able to do smaller stories that don’t require a huge world war or invading army as the climax. There is definitely some dramatic stuff going down, but it’s not the apocalypse. ;)” Context

And from an interview with EW today:

  • “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, and Korra has to figure out how to find a new balance in the city with all this stuff that’s gone on.”

WE’LL FINALLY GET A CANON VERSION OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SPIRIT WORLD.

This three-part graphic novel series is written by Nickelodeon TV series co-creator and executive producer Michael Dante DiMartino, drawn by Irene Koh (Batgirl, 1602, TMNT), with covers by Heather Campbell (Free Comic Book Day 2016: The Legend of Korra), and consultation by TV series co-creator and executive producer Bryan Konietzko.
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.

Okay, so, like, I’m still giddy.  Like speechless.  Overwhelmed.  Beyond grateful.

I can’t thank @willoghby enough for producing such an absolutely FREAKING AMAZINGLY PERFECT piece of art for Food Fight.  I’m just… I’m so… I can’t even…

(Seriously, I said what I wanted and crossed my fingers, and then THIS appeared.  Damn.)
