Funny - I didn't see the list as being lopsided at all. I thought the inherent humor was that if choosing between those two is the worst of your problems, you've got it pretty good.

Comic to be continued after the Promise ends. Called "The Search", it will focus on Zuko, Azula and the mystery behind Ursa.

Looks like Azula's stay at the loony bin did not do much good...

I was wondering what they were going to do about that.

Also, goddamn it, they better not let Azula out of jail.

Being honest, I scoffed at this show solely because it was on Nickelodeon (and, let's face it, they haven't had quality shows since the 90's and early turn of the millennia.) Started watching it out of boredom and I'm quite taken with the show, surprisingly. Only on season two, but it's quite good!

Not entirely true. The Fairly Oddparents is still going, and there was also My Life as a Teenage Robot and The Mighty B! But yeah, "Oh great, yet another American attempt to cash in on the anime craze" was also my initial reaction until a friend told me it was legit. Then I was like

Here's some images I've been waiting to post for a while

Nick just added 26 more episodes to Korra. Will be split evenly between Books 3 and 4 for 52 total episodes. Comic Con panel is also today.

The Legend of Korra has been picked up for an additional 26 episodes, which will be split into Books 3 & 4! Mike and I had been hoping to announce this big news to the crowd at the Korra SDCC panel tomorrow morning, but the network put out a press release yesterday. And as we suspected, people are pretty confused, understandably so. Hopefully people are also excited.

I’m sure I’ll be trying to clear this up in posts for a long time to come, but I’ll lay it all out right now:

–Book 1 = 12 episodes

–Book 2 = 14 episodes

–Book 3 = 13 episodes

–Book 4 = 13 episodes

–TOTAL = 52 episodes

Why are the four books split up into those numbers of episodes, you might ask?

Initially, Nickelodeon picked up Korra as a 12-episode miniseries. Their idea was to do 12-episode arcs that were more standalone than the original Avatar series. Mike and I were cool with this idea, as we had originally wanted the seasons to be 12 episodes long instead of 20, and creatively we liked the idea of doing tighter story arcs.

The original plan was that if Nickelodeon wanted more episodes, they would order them 12 episodes at a time. But while we were in production on Book 1, Nickelodeon decided to change their season lengths from 20 episodes (like Avatar had) to the more standardized international length of 26 episodes. They liked how Book 1 was coming out and decided to round out the order to fit their new 26-episode mold, and we got a 14-episode pick-up, which became Book 2.

Then, the network wanted even more Korra, so they picked up another order of 26 episodes. Mike and I wanted to stick with the shorter “books,” so creatively we are splitting the second order of 26 into Books 3 & 4, 13 episodes each.

What makes this even more confusing is that the network considers each block of 26 episodes a “season,” which is another reason we try to stick to calling these Korra arcs “books.” So for the network’s purposes, Books 1 & 2 are Season 1, and Books 3 & 4 are Season 2.

When will Books 2, 3, and 4 come out?

Someday!

What will happen after Book 4?

Mike and I plan to wrap up the Korra storyline at that point with the close of Book 4. Then I plan to crawl into a dark cave and go into hibernation. And hopefully see my wife more often.

I hope that clears it up. SEE YOU IN SAN DIEGO! If you can’t make the panel and Nick booth signing tomorrow, we’ll be signing at the Dark Horse booth on Saturday, I *think* at 2:30 (but I’m not sure). If you are going to SDCC, please be safe! You probably already heard, but tragically a convention attendee died in an accident on Tuesday morning. Take care.

52 episodes? Fuck yes!

Ever so glad to hear that we have a TON of Korra on the way.

@TM: I recognized the scenes, but I still want to know who are these people and where they did this.
