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 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.
The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars serves as the official continuation of Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra television series, and all volumes are available now at your local comic shop.
