A Korra-fan tweeted, asking them if episodes 4 & 5 will be premiering the same day. Unusually enough, Nick responded, confirming that the two episodees will be airing together.

Personally, I found it quite surprising due to the fact that Nickelodeon has had a reputation for ignoring Korra fan's and their yearning tweets for season updates. Nonetheless, it was confirmed and now we have the follwoing information in our hands: Episode 4 titled In Harms Way and episode 5 titled The Metal Clan will be airing together on Friday, July 11, 2014.

Free Avatar Comic - Details About FCBD 2014 (Free Comic Book Day)

Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is an internationally-recognized event in which local participating comic book shops across the world distribute free comics to anyone who comes into their stores. It is held each year on the first Saturday of May, this year's being on May 3rd.

Avatar comics have been present among the several titles offered at FCBD for the past few years. This year's comic selection of 2014 will feature, yet again, another short Avatar comic book.

Gene Luen Yang, who contributed towards The Promise, The Search and the The Rift trilogies, will be returning to work on this year's exclusive story. I was able to contact him and he provided me with a few details on the comic. 

He told me that Faith Erin Hicks will be joining him in the production of the comic by completing the illustrations. Yang also introduced a a little bit about the storyline as well:

"It stars Suki and Sokka. We were able to incorporate some Kyoshi Warrior back story that Bryan and Mike described to us, that didn't make it into the original animated series," tells Yang to UltimateKorra.

Additionally, Dark Horse Comics (who are the publishers) even have a short description regarding the comic on their websiteSokka follows Suki as she gives a lesson in manners and encourages a young girl’s strength. The comic will be fairly short, only 10 pages long.

If you are interested in picking up a free copy, you can visit your local comic book shop. To locate your local comic store participating in Free Comic Book Day, check out this store-locator feature.

Legend of Korra Book 2 Confirmed for Late 2013 from Nickelodeon Animation Press Event

Although there hasn't been too many news updates on Legend of Korra Season 2 in the past few weeks, we do have a Book 2 update today.

Eric Goldman, executive editor of IGN, was able to tweet some information on LOK from the Nickelodeon Animation Press Event. He tells the fans that while he doesn't have an exact month or date for the Legend of Korra season 2 release date, he does have a confirmation. According to his tweet, Book 2 will be premiering later in 2013. 

Although we weren't able to get the action scene Goldman refers to in his tweet, we were able to get some good news. Hopefully, this ends all, if any, false rumours about Book 2 premiering in 2014 or later.

This exciting news means that Korra fans finally have something to look forward too. Additionally, rest assured that our team will do everything we can to try to retrieve the action scene from the tweet. If we are successful, you'll see it on this website.
