Afterwards, they visit Korra's parents to tell them the news, although Korra's parents seem backward about this new relationship. Once they return to the Republic City, trouble finds them. Korra has to deal not only with a developer that wants to turn the spirit world to an amusement park but also with "The Triads" that threaten to spread chaos in the Republic City.

SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS
The comic series involves same sex relationships and shows the way they are treated in the avatar world. Unlike the original series "The Legend Of Korra", in the "Turf Wars" comics two main heroines, Korra and Asami , are dating. Many fans embrace this change, many fans frown upon it. We did an online survey to see if the fans liked the relationship between Korra and Asami (aka Korrasami) and the reference to same sex relationships.
SURVEY'S OUTCOME!

THE COMICS' SUCCESS?
In general, the comic series is not really famous.
OUR OPINION
"Turf Wars" is not a bad comic. Although, the element of adventure was missing, for the comics were more focused on the romance between the two heroines. Compared to the original series "The Legend Of Korra" we believe that "Turf Wars" was no match.
