Turf Wars Part One

Turf Wars Part 1 is the first installment of the Turf Wars trilogy. It is scheduled for release in comic book stores on July 26, 2017, and in mass market retailers on August 8, 2017.

Overview
''Relishing their newfound feelings for each other, Korra and Asami leave the Spirit World ... but find nothing in Republic City but political hijinks and human versus spirit conflict!''

''A pompous developer plans to turn the new spirit portal into an amusement park, potentially severing an already tumultuous connection with the spirits. What's more, the triads have realigned and are in a brutal all-out brawl at the city's borders– where hundreds of evacuees have relocated!''

In order to get through it all, Korra and Asami vow to look out for each other– but first, they've got to get better at being a team and a couple!

Synopsis
Korra and Asami Sato enter the Spirit World through the Republic City spirit portal, ending up in a meadow from which they admire the landscape before them. After welcoming Asami to the Spirit World, Korra reminds the former to remain close to her given the unpredictability of the realm. The two begin their vacation and fly on the dragon bird spirit to a field of oversized greenery, before heading to a field of giant toadstools and subsequently to a lagoon.

Eventually, the two stop before a large rock formation and decide to compete against one another in a climbing race to the top. Asami gains the upper hand and teases Korra about her lack of speed, to which the latter remarks that she is merely going easy on her. Suddenly, the outcrop begins to rumble and a giant rock spirit reveals itself, demanding to know who dared to climb upon his body. Asami begins to apologize but is interrupted by the spirit, who remarks that it should have been obvious that the culprits were "pesky humans". The spirit plucks them off his body by their collars, and Korra, having taken offense to the spirit's description as "pesky", reveals herself as the Avatar, further displeasing the spirit who claims that the Avatar is even worse than a regular human. Stating that despite remaining complacent over the Avatar's decision to keep the two polar spirit portals open, the creation of a third portal is unacceptable, and the two realms should have been kept separate. The spirit ignores Korra's remarks that the formation of the third portal was an accident and flings the two away, ordering them to leave his realm forever.

In midair, Korra uses airbending to attempt to cushion her and Asami's fall, but the two land on the ground roughly despite her efforts. Korra laments that the ordeal was a disaster, as she wanted their first getaway to be perfect but nearly got them killed instead. Asami dismisses Korra's apology, stating that they have gone through worse situations and that one disgruntled spirit should not ruin their trip.
