The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars is the first graphic novel trilogy created as a continuation of The Legend of Korra television series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.
Written by Michael Dante DiMartino with art by Irene Koh, Turf Wars follows the events of "The Last Stand", the final episode of the television series, beginning with Korra and Asami on holiday in the spirit world.
The series was originally announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. Later that same year, Brittney Williams was announced as the artist for the series, showing some of her concept art along with the announcement. When Williams dropped out of the project, a new artist was brought on board, Irene Koh, a bisexual Asian martial artist just like Korra herself.
Korra and Asami, now a couple, are forced to cut their spirit world holiday short after their supplies are lost in an altercation with a giant rock spirit, who resents Korra for her accidental creation of a new portal between the physical and spirit worlds following her battle with Kuvira. The pair travel to the Southern Water Tribe to come out to Korra's parents, Tonraq and Senna, both of whom are happy and supportive upon hearing the news, though they warn Korra to be wary of sharing it with others, as the rest of the world may not be as accepting of a same-sex relationship. Upset upon hearing this, Korra angrily storms out, though she later comes to an understanding on the subject after a talk with Asami.
The couple return to Republic City to discover that Wonyong Keum, a property developer who owns the land around the new spirit portal, is planning to capitalize on its appearance by turning the surrounding land into an amusement park and offering tours of the spirit world, despite opposition from the Air Nomads and the spirits. A dragon eel spirit urges Korra to close the portal to prevent such a conflict from happening, but Korra refuses, believing that the spiritual energy flowing in from the portal will ultimately benefit the people of Republic City. The dragon eel spirit reluctantly accepts her decision, but holds her responsible for keeping the portal safe.
