“He’s dead. There’s nothing left of him.” Alex frowned. Katherine held her tightly, trying to console her girlfriend. “Why didn’t you try to stop them?” She whispered.
“Are you talking to me?” Katherine frowned. Alex ignored her, refusing to look at her. She continued to talk to herself. “Alex.. Snap out of it.” Katherine shook Alex slighty, trying to break the hold she had on herself. “Hey!” Katherine slapped Alex’s face lightly, causing her to jump at the sudden feeling.
“I’m so sorry…” Alex whispered.

It’s a really good time to be an Avatar fan right now, with a LOT of content coming our way soon. So much that it’s hard to keep track of…
So here’s a classic korranews masterpost with everything you need to know.
September 2018
First up, in case you missed it, the following recent-ish stuff is already out!
All three parts of The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars graphic novel trilogy
The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena, a super cool table top game with detailed figurines of a bunch of the characters
Secrets of Elvendale, a fantasy series on Netflix animated by Studio Mir
Pins!!! Check their online store because there’s about a million new ones (I need to make a whole masterpost just for that…)
The trailer for The Dragon Prince, a new animated fantasy series from the head writer of ATLA
The 2018 Korra FCBD comic
ATLA in true 1080p HD on Blu-ray and digital download!!!!!
And coming soon…
A new ATLA graphic novel trilogy, with a brand new writer and artist! The story covers a burgeoning bender-nonbender conflict in an industrial town, a very intriguing potential first link to the founding of Republic City and bridging the seventy-year gap to TLOK.
Part 1 comes out this year, on December 12th. Part 2 follows on April 16th 2019, with Part 3 expected in approximately August next year as well.
See all the detailed info we have so far, and keep up-to-date, with our #imbalance tag.
An anthology of comics following Team Avatar on various never-before-seen adventures! We don’t know a lot yet but this should be a very nice collection of stories.
This anthology hits shelves on January 2nd, 2019.
#team avatar tales
If the ATLA trilogies’ library editions are anything to go on, this volume collecting all three parts of Turf Wars should be a stunning hardcover with plenty of cool behind the scenes info, art, and extras.
You can get it on March 26th, 2019.
#turf wars
This scrapbook-type release dealing with Korra looking back on her journey so far is going to be filled with gorgeous, full illustrations and posters, in-universe letters, inserts, mementos, keepsakes, photos, and more. It should also have some new stories and moments with the characters. Sounds cool!!
It comes out on May 21st, 2019.
#an avatar’s chronicle
A big surprise we very happily got hit with recently, The Rise of Kyoshi is an upcoming epic YA novel series about the origins of Avatar Kyoshi from a humble corner of the Earth Kingdom, starting her journey to legendary greatness.
It’s going to be two books, with the first hitting shelves on July 16th, 2019. When Book 2 comes is anybody’s guess, but a year later in summer 2020 is a potential ballpark.
#the rise of kyoshi
This is the one we know least about, but what’s exciting is that we know it exists at all! Korra’s story isn’t over yet: we have confirmation that a new graphic novel trilogy is happening. The rumor mill says we might finally be seeing the Fire Nation, but only time will tell…
We can hopefully expect some concrete information about this at NYCC in October. As for a release date, expect at least a few months between the end of Imbalance and the start of this, so late 2019 at the earliest, but probably 2020.

Oh, and one last thing…
That’s all.

Of course it’s Nate who finds it stashed in a drawer of Rip’s in his old office at the Time Bureau headquarters. It’s a desk that Ava won’t touch, still having unresolved emotions over what she now knows Rip used her and all of her clones before her for. It isn’t surprising that Rip would bring something like it from the future back to the present to stash in that desk long before his death.
Nate is wordless as he hands it to Sara, which should surprise her enough in itself.
“What is it?” Sara asks as she takes the paper. It’s been balled up and smoothed out so many times that Sara is surprised it isn’t ripped.
“It’s a list of,” Nate pauses, “I’m sorry I read it Sara. I didn’t know what it was, but I thought you’d like to see it.”
Sara eyes him skeptically. “They told us Ava was the perfect woman. She was made using a combination of so many women from the past. This is a list of those women,” Nate finishes, eyes downcast.
Sara looks at the paper wondering if she should open it. Wonders what she’ll find. She’s not sure at all what she expects as she opens the paper, but it’s simple. Just a typed list of names with no further information. No title as to what it could be, but Sara knows it’s true. She walks into her room to sit down on her bed as her eyes finally focus on the list. She’s acutely aware of Nate watching her. There are nineteen names, and Sara has no idea what this will bring her when she reads it.
1. Joan of Arc. It doesn’t surprise Sara that the list starts with a woman who lead an army in a revolt. A woman who has been revered for the mystique associated with her martyrdom.
2. Sacajawea - the fearless Lemhi Shoshone woman said to have guided Lewis and Clark with a baby on her back.
3. Marie Curie whose inclusions speaks for itself. The first woman to receive the Nobel Prize for research into radioactivity. The first woman to win the Nobel Prize in two separate categories, physics and chemistry. The reason we have x- ray machines now.
4. Eleanor Roosevelt who worked with the Red Cross, the Women’s Trade Union League, helped form the National Youth Administration, transformed the role of First Lady, and so many more important things. As head of the UN human rights commission she helped to draft the 1948 UN declaration of human rights.
5. Aretha Franklin whose voice and activism shook the world with hits like Respect and A Natural Woman.
6. Sojourner Truth the African-American abolitionist and women’s rights campaigner who changed the course of women’s rights.
7. Indira Gandhi the first female prime minister of India who introduced more left-wing economic policies and sought to promote agricultural productivity. Her end was controversial after declaring a state of emergency, considered authoritarian, and was subsequent assasinated.
8. Princess Diana who showed a natural sympathy for the pool and disenfranchised. Her humanitarian work made her loved by many. The world cried at her early dead.
9. Jane Austen who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Emma and Northanger Abbey. A woman who paved the way for female authors.
10. Susan B. Anthony who fought against slavery, for workers rights, and for women’s rights. She was a crucial voice in the movement to gain women the right to vote.
11. Wangari Maathai the Kenyan-born environmentalist, pro-democracy activist and women’s rights campaigner. Another Nobel Peace Prize winner on the list for her efforts to prevent conflict through protection of scarce resources.
12. Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on the bus, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, and indirectly leading to some of the most significant civil rights legislation changes in history.
13. Billie Holiday who was called the First Lady of the blues and is wildly considered to be the greatest jazz musician of all time. She redefined the jazz era and changed music forever.
14. Anne Frank who still believed that people were good at heart while her family hid from people who only meant them harm and hatred.
15. Billie Jean King who battled for equal pay for women while kicking ass on the tennis court.
16. Oprah Winfrey who was the first woman to own her own talk show and used her voice to make real change.
17. Shirin Ebadi who won a Nobel Peace Prize. She was an Iranian lawyer who fought for human rights and democracy.
18. Malala Yousafzai a Pakistani girl who defied threats of the Taliban to campaign for the right to education. She survived being shot in the head by the Taliban and became a global advocate for women’s rights, especially the right to education.
19. Emily Gonzalez who used horrible situation of a school shooting to bring about change and provide a passionate face against gun violence in America.
Ava’s intensity in her fight for others, the Aretha and Billie records that played often on her record player, her uncontrollable tears when they’d visited the Holocaust Museum all made so much more sense. It’d turned Ava into a fearless warrior, a devoted lover of people; someone who would fight at nothing to change the world and make it better.
“It’s something isn’t it?” Nate says, breaking the silence. “Turn it over.”
Sara does and sees another name she isn’t quite sure how she missed. Her eyes widen as she reads it.
20. Alexandra Danvers
“Alex?” Sara questions, eyes wide.
“I looked into it,” Nate says. “In 2025 Alex uses alien biology, chemistry, and Lena Luther’s nanotechnology to cure everything from cancer to arthritis. She develops a device that decontaminates the water to rid it of trash and pathogens. She develops one injection that cures all contractible disease. By 2035 the only things that kills people are old age, violence, and accidents.”
Sara’s eyes are wide, her heart hammering hard in her chest. Because she still remembers that intensity in Alex’s eyes, her fear, her uncertainty, and her burning desire to save people. Because of course Alex would change the world.
“She also had two biological children that were both hers and her wife’s,” Nate finishes.
Sara smiles even more as her eyes drift down to the engagement ring that’s only been on her finger for a few months. Because of course it’d take that touch of Alex to make someone as intense and wonderful and loving as Ava.
It shouldn’t surprise Sara one bit.
“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”
