The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time

Product Information

Solicitation for “Free Comic Book Day: The Legend of Korra / Avatar: The Last Airbender” coming May 7, 2022: Cat-Owl's Cradle" - Bumi and Meelo have to deal with criminals, while also discussing their relationships with their respective fathers, Aang and Tenzin.

The stories feel very rooted in the energy I associate with Legend of Korra, which tends to be fun adventures and humor mixed with moments that reflect character growth or introspection. And while those elements are definitely on full display in the show itself and other comics like Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, it’s nice to see the elements I enjoy so much as a fan and reader in stories that have a shorter length. There’s a general slice-of-life feeling to most of the comics here, even when there’s more action than you might expect that works for the different stories being told. Running for 52 episodes between 2012-2014, The Legend of Korra was a sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Just like its predecessor, it created a very dedicated fan base who loved the show dearly. The comics were among several titles announced by Dark Horse in the run-up to Christmas, including “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Forgotten Myths” (written by Alexander Freed, with art by Martín Túnica) and “Stranger Things: Kamchatka” (penned by Michael Moreci, with pencils by Todor Hristov.) With Dark Horse having announced a deal to be acquired by Swedish video game company Embracer Group last week, they likely won’t be the last licensed books from the publisher either.The thing to know about these graphic novels, just like the Avatar ones, is that they are broken up into trilogies. Together they tell the full story of the trilogy and it is best to start with volume one. Dark Horse Comics is explicitly publishing the anthology comic as a 10th anniversary project to commemorate the impact that The Legend of Korra has had, so it is sure to be filled with diverse and exciting stories to draw folks into the beautiful world of Avatar. With so many possibilities for stories one is left to wonder what these creators will focus on, such as powerful villains with complex stories from Korra's past, or even a return of the maniacal Azula? Dark Horse Comics had this to say about the upcoming anthology:

Weaver's Ball" - In her youth, Korra has to overcome the restrictions of the Southern Water Tribe compound. Clearing the Air" - Tenzin relates the tale of a fight he had as a youngster, and what the confrontation helped him discover about his Air Nomad heritage. The newest entry into the Legend of Korra comics library delivers bite-sized stories that further explore a great mix of characters from the animated series in a mostly light-hearted manner.
