The Earth Empire is not dead in two new preview pages from The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire Part One
We have some brand-new pages from the first part of the new Korra graphic novel trilogy, courtesy of iTunes.
Here’s everything we learn:
We’re introduced to Commander Guan, presumably a high-ranking official in the Earth Empire army.
We see him informed that Kuvira’s attack on Republic City failed and that she surrendered.
He’s not surrendering, though.
This cell of the Earth Empire is still running some kind of scientific experiments, which are getting “better responses from the subjects”. It’ll be very interesting to find out what’s going on here.
Not sure where this takes place in the timeline– presumably it’s some kind of prologue or flashback because telephones and telegraphs exist so the Earth Empire’s forces would be notified immediately of Kuvira’s surrender. And we’ve already had a whole completely unrelated weeks-long storyline take place between the end of the show and the beginning of this trilogy. Hopefully it makes sense lol.
This comes after the six preview pages we already have, in which Kuvira goes on trial.
Ruins of the Empire Part One is coming May 21st.
