'The Legend Of Korra' Comic Release Date Confirmed For After 'Smoke And Shadow' Part 3

After being announced at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con, little news has come out on the upcoming "Legend of Korra" comic. However, we have narrowed down its release date thanks to artist Brittney Williams.

Recently at the New York Comic Con, Brittney Williams held a signing featuring some concept art for the upcoming "Legend of Korra" comic. Based on an image provided by Tumblr user Avatar-Caro, the release date is set for Fall of 2016.

"A year from now does make sense given the lack of information known about the comic," commented Avatar the Last Airbender Online's Morgan Bannon.

"I get the feeling that Brittney Williams has only been on board for a couple of weeks, hence why the only art we see are these sketches. This puts the comic in very early production and we know it takes a long time for any artist to draw/color 70-plus pages. It just shows that we have found out about these 'Korra' comics very early in production."

As previously reported, the "Legend of Korra" comic will allegedly focus on the characters Korra and Asami, nicknamed Korrasami by fans.

"'The Legend of Korra' will continue as comics written by Michael DiMartino, published by Dark Horse," wrote Konietzko on Tumblr back in July. "I've been working on the story with Mike, and I'll be consulting on the art (once we secure an artist/artists)."

Preceding this comic will be the conclusion of the current "Avatar: The Last Airbender" comic series "Smoke and Shadow" in March of 2016.

"When we were talking about what to do with these three books, Brian described to me this group of Fire Nation women warriors that they were kind of batting around," said "Smoke and Shadow" writer Gene Yang to EW.

"And unfortunately, that concept got left on the cutting room floor. So it'll be a little bit like the Fire Nation equivalent of the Kyoshi warriors. We're bringing that concept in now, so that will be one of the main adversaries of the book."
