The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire Part One PREVIEW PAGES!

After the new Korra graphic novel trilogy was unveiled yesterday, today we have our first preview pages courtesy of Entertainment Weekly!

And they. Look. Amazing.

The new artist, Michelle Wong, has done a STUNNING job bringing the Avatar universe to life.

Equally as exciting is that it appears the story is full steam ahead, picking up directly where the tumultuous Earth Kingdom plot of Book Three: Change and Book Four: Balance left off. Kuvira is on trial for her crimes as leader of the now-defunct Earth Empire, and she’s not backing down.

In these pages, she also has a quick reunion with her sometimes-foster-mother Suyin Beifong.

It’ll be really interesting to see where these plot threads go, especially considering the intriguing points mentioned in the official description for Part One:

Korra must decide who to trust as the fate of the Earth Kingdom hangs in the balance!

On the eve of its first elections, the Earth Kingdom finds its future endangered by its past. Even as Kuvira stands trial for her crimes, vestiges of her imperial ambitions threaten to undermine the nation’s democratic hopes. But when Korra, Asami, Mako, and Bolin don’t all see eye-to-eye as to the solution, drastic measures will be taken to halt a new march to war!

All in all, these pages just look beautiful– the art style, on-model characters and facial expressions, and detailed backgrounds, in tandem with a plotline directly continuing from the series, really make it feel like we’re back in the show again. Can not WAIT to get a whole trilogy of this.

Ruins of the Empire Part One is coming May 21st, 2019.
