Library Journal Review

The 2014 finale of the Nickelodeon animated series The Legend of Korra (sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender) saw dictator Kuvira defeated, downtown Republic City destroyed by a blast of spirit energy, and-in a landmark moment in children's television-Avatar Korra walking hand-in-hand into the resulting interdimensional portal with her new girlfriend Asami Soto. Picking up the story moments later, the Dark Horse graphic novel written by series cocreators Konietzko and DiMartino, with art by Koh (Vault of Horror) and gorgeous coloring by Vivian Ng, focuses not only on the budding romance between the two women but on the complex fallout from the series' aftermath. Despite the underdeveloped villain, the conflict involving organized crime, the government, homeless residents, airbenders, and angry spirits over the future of the damaged city is both realistic and fantastical and, in an interesting worldbuilding turn, explains how the world's cultures regard same-sex relationships. This handsome library edition collecting the softcover trilogy (The Promise; The Search; The Rift) includes concept artwork as well as introductions by DiMartino and Koh highlighting the significance of Korra for young LGBTQ+ audiences. VERDICT Recommended as a satisfying bridge between the animated series and future Dark Horse installments, with the Kuvira-focused trilogy Ruins of the Empire scheduled for May 2019.-Michael Dudley, Univ. of Winnipeg Lib., Man. © Copyright 2019.
