I don't really see how this could be better, unless parts 1 and 2 were together in one volume, because I'm eager to see where it goes next. This picks up right where Korra left off, and you get to see Korra and Asami's vacation together in the spirit world, their first kiss, and them beginning to tell people about their relationship. There's also set up for the main plot arc, but they do the right thing here and give the people what they want: a spotlight on Korra and Asami's relationship, complete with tons of cute moments as well as kisses. This still feels miraculous that they became canon, so having the comic sequel focus on it is perfect. Plus Kya is bisexual! The Air nomads were accepting of all orientations! Avatar Kyoshi was bisexual! This is a world that isn't entirely accepting, but it's also not entirely anti-queer. It's complicated. Which I think is a good choice. Love it. Can't wait for the next one.

Korra tbh isn't my favourite avatar but the story surely developed after Aang. In the series I felt like the enemies developed and felt more serious, maybe also because Korra is older but the issues just felt more real than one bad guy that took ages to defeat.

I feel like the comic now pointed out real issues as well with them as a couple and surely Korra made me eyeroll again so it was the usual but I like to read more about both stories just to see where it all goes :)

I thought I read this series as it came out, but it turns out I misremembered. Now I'm very excited to have more Avatar stories! The art is amazing, and the plot and character voices feel true to the show. I'm looking forward to where this story arc leads!

I just finished watching the show, and was delighted to learn that the story continues in graphic novels! This one picks up right where the show left off. Can’t wait to read the next one!

YESSSS I LOVE THE GAYS LETS GOOOOOOO

The only thing I didn't like is that Mako and Bolin are police, but Mako is already police in the show so I guess it just follows that.

I really appreciate that they made it a point to talk about Korra and Asami's relationship and their coming out.

I'm very interested to see where this story goes.

It's gay! Korra is impulsive! Asami is brilliant! Mako broods! Bolin noodles around! Meelo is obnoxious! Zhu Li finally gets some recognition for how goddamn great she is! There are sky bison and angry spirits and sexy mobsters! An all-around rollick.
