All Legend of Korra Info
The Legend of Korra to premiere in 2012!
The Promise: Part One graphic novel on sale Jan. 25!

Updates
1/14/12: Happy New Year! Nickelodeon has aired a commercial (Youtube version here, starts at 0:18) that features Korra! It also hopefully reaffirms the title change to Avatar: The Legend of Korra. In addition, the Nickelodeon-run Twitter page has also confirmed that Korra will be airing in 2012, though is still mum on the exact date.

The second post-ATLA graphic novel, The Promise: Part Two, has also been announced and includes cover art. The publication date is May 30, 2012, and is $7.99 for 80 pages. The first book comes out on January 25, for $10.99. These books continue Team Avatar's adventures after the season 3 finale, particularly with the aftermath of the war, and prequeling Legend of Korra.

Written by Gene Luen Yang with Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, art by Gurihiru.


12/3/11: Edit: Although the opening credits for Legend of Korra were leaked online earlier today, there's word going around that show co-creator Mike DiMartino has requested that the video/link not be reposted. Though I can't seem to find anyone linking to the actual comment, with the effort they've put into making this show, I can't imagine that this is how they would want it to premiere. So I'm removing the link out of respect; sorry guys.


11/21/11: The results for the Pumpkin Contest are up; congratulations to Jade (@_@), Daniel, Dave, Philip, Emma, and Mod's Choice winner Angie! Thank you to everyone who entered and voted, the contest will be back next October and I hope you will be too. :)


11/16/11: Do you like the internet? Do you live in America? Have you heard about the Stop Online Piracy Act bill, or SOPA? If not, it is really something that you need to read about, as it may affect many of the websites you visit, potentially even this one. There is a round-up of info and links about it here on the DH Forum.

(Also, voting for the Pumpkin Contest ends this Sunday. Results on Monday!)


11/7/11: Voting for the Avatar Pumpkin Carving Contest has begun! We have fourteen lovely entries, and prizes that include a Korra amigurumi doll and a White Lotus beret!

Results will be announced on Monday November 21st.


10/29/11: Entries for the Avatar Pumpkin Contest are starting to roll in, and photos of the Korra amigurumi doll prize are up! Still looking for more contest prizes if anyone would like to provide one, and of course looking forward to more pumpkin entries! Good luck with your carvings, and hope you all have a happy halloween!


10/1/11: Happy October, and time again for this year's DH Avatar Pumpkin Carving Competition! There's been a lot of great Legend of Korra info released this summer, so I hope to see a lot entries this year. And if you're in an area with the pumpkin shortages, don't worry, the contest accepts all carve-able veggies. :) Prizes so far include a 5-inch crocheted amigurumi Korra doll (photos coming soon), and the always-present custom fanart. We need a couple more though, so if you would like to provide a quality prize (be it fanart, crafts, etc), please email me for more info. Thank you!

7/25/11: The Legend of Korra Info Page is now up! It has all of the new SDCC info along with previously known info like the cast and crew, as well as image and video links. You might not notice it, but that page has different coding from the rest of this site. If you have ANY problems with it please let me know, because I am in the process of converting the rest of the site to that coding. (If that doesn't make sense but the page works fine, don't worry about it. ^^) The OMG!Dude page has been updated as well with some recent and very old Avatar Cameos.


7/23/11: edit: Took 50 screenshots from the high-def Korra trailer, you can find 'em here on Photobucket!
OMG you guys, the SDCC Korra panel today was amazing! TONS of new information on the characters, concept art, a drop-dead gorgeous trailer for the show, and a new poster! A brief round-up of the information told and links to the concept art photos can be found Here on the DH Forum! A clean, high-def trailer has also been posted online, you can see it here on the Nicktoons site! For our international fans, a Youtube version has been uploaded as well.


7/20/11: The San Diego Comic Con is tomorrow/this weekend, and you can be sure that there will be new Legend of Korra info! One of our forum admins, Amira, will be there, and you can follow her Tumblr for her latest updates! Recaps of any Korra/Avatar news will also be posted here and on the DH forum.

In other news, the massive Avatar comic collection The Lost Adventures is on sale... depending on where you buy it. ^^; It's kind of confusing, some places apparently won't be selling it until January, but Amazon.com at least has it. It is 240 pages for a cool $15, and features all of the comics run in NickMag (Including those that were never published), the mini-comics that were included with the Season 2 & 3 DVDs, and the two from Free Comic Book Day. Amazing! You can see quite a few page previews here to get a taste. :)


5/7/11: Today is Free Comic Book Day! At participating comic shops, bookstores, and libraries, you may be able to find the ATLA comic book featuring the comics "Relics" and "Dirty is Only Skin Deep." It is also coupled with the Star Wars comic, so if you don't see Avatar, look for the scary Star Wars cover instead. ^^; Both of the ATLA comics will be reprinted in the 240-page tome titled "The Lost Adventures", which will be on sale this July and features all published and unreleased Avatar comics, including those from the single-disc DVDs! More info on Free Comic Book Day and the Avatar/Star Wars covers is at their website.

Additionally, there is an article/interview at Comic Book Resources with Dave Marshall about the Avatar comics. It includes info on The Lost Adventures and the upcoming graphic novels that will continue where the season 3 finale left off. Well worth a read!
