Holy hell, the original ink work for this was posted by @badenlily in January and the color work was just posted by @viivus this July...needless to say, your work is hard and precious and we the fans appreciate every bit of it we can get!

Your efforts don't go unnoticed for a second!

Have you read part 3 of RoTE yet? What were your thoughts if you have?

I did read it and it lived up to my very low expectations after part 2, unfortunately. Part 1 was SO strong, raising interesting issues about starting a democracy and the use of power in politics, and RotE 3 did give Wu a surprisingly decent throughline, but other than that, and the art which remained fantastic throughout, I really can’t say I’m a fan. I’m not a Kuvira stan. She’s an interesting character with a lot of potential, but she’s complicated and to unpack her motivations would take either a lot more time or a lot better writing than we saw here. If the point of this series is her relationship with the Beifongs, they sure took a LONG time to bring the Beifongs into it. The flashbacks to her childhood are very spartan on detail -- just like the show kinda pulled ‘oh, she was given up by her family!’ out of nowhere in the last episode, this felt like the ‘she injured her mother!’ was equally unclear. So information was parsed out in an uneven way which undercut the overall apparent goal of exploring and redeeming Kuvira. 

This comic trilogy seems to have set out to be a redemption arc for Kuvira, and in that it failed. Kuvira barely shows remorse for what she did, the narrative went out of its way to hand her excuses and victories -- I was surrounded by MORE evil people, here I’m helping rescue Asami see how nice I am? I’m against mind control, I can’t be all bad! Instead of redemption, this comic seems to have tried the quickest rehabilitation of Kuvira possible, and that’s not a story I’m interested in these days when plenty of truly heinous people manage to escape consequences or even be rewarded. 

Zuko had a wonderful redemption arc in AtlA... and it took 50ish episodes to accomplish. Rounded down to the parts focusing on him, it still took at least 20. Trying to pull off a proper redemption arc for a character in 3 short issues was a tall order to start. Especially more when I kept being distracted by the side characters, Korra and Asami, and their nearly nameless sidekicks, Bolin and Mako. 

I purchased a copy out of brand loyalty, but I don’t particularly wish to read any more Legend of Kuvira comics. Perhaps if they did some more Korra-centric comics sometimes, maybe even a series where Asami doesn’t get thrown callously under the bus to support somebody else’s development (much less the guy who killed her dad a few months prior), I’ll be more excited. Until then, at least we have cute canon confirmation that these two adult girlfriends do adult bedtime things together.

Read Ruins of the Empire Part 3 today and while I still maintain that they never should have gone the way they did in part 2, nor should Kuvira have gotten such a prominent redemption arc so soon, the ending was adequate.

Additional thoughts;

It was nice to see Asami out of the green and back into her iconic outfit, and her outfit at the end was *chef's kiss*.

There were like three excellent one liners that gave me a good laugh in three pages.

Toph being a badass as usual.

Where the hell was Mako in the courtroom?

Asami getting her justice against the doctor was good, but she still deserved more than one panel for it.

Damn you Su, let our girls have their time.

Hopefully the next comic (if there is one? I haven't heard), will be something new (Hello Fire Nation).

THE LEGEND OF KORRA: RUINS OF THE EMPIRE

Looks like we’re getting all up in Earth Kingdom Empire Nation politics with our next Korra comic!

From randomhouse:

Korra must decide who to trust as the fate of the Earth Kingdom hangs in the balance! On the eve of its first elections, the Earth Kingdom finds its future endangered by its past. Even as Kuvira stands trial for her crimes, vestiges of her imperial ambitions threaten to undermine the nation’s democratic hopes. But when Korra, Asami, Mako, and Bolin don’t all see eye-to-eye as to the solution, drastic measures will be taken to halt a new march to war! Written by series co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino and drawn by Michelle Wong (Goosebumps: Download and Die), with consultation by Bryan Konietzko, this is the official continuation of the beloved television series!

No Fire Nation yet, but meaty political debates, a badass title, and probably some angry Asami involving herself in the trial of the woman who killed her dad... this sounds pretty promising!

Release date listed as May 21, 2019... whether we meet that deadline will be a story by itself.

what if they pull out a zuko card with kuvira? like from villain to bestie with the krew?
