No release date for either book.

The Kya story is set in her youth as she first explores the world on her own. A one shot graphic novel, second in the set started by Mystery of Penquan Island

Kyoshi warriors miniseries is three issues (boy dark horse loves the number three). Set during the show

Hi, I am the person who posted this photo and live tweeted the event. I didn't say specifically, but iirc they said it's about what they did in the lead up to the serpent's pass. They were rushing through the announcement since they went overtime at the panel so idk if some of it takes place after the serpants pass at all.

I think it's good that it's set during the series. If it was post series, it would only be complicated things. Though it could work if it was set during the time, skip in the comics. Do we know who the author is.

The attendee live tweeting I followed didn't say (at least that I noticed) but I asked

Hi, they did not mention an author for either comic.

At first I was thinking "Katara's mom wasn't a water bender! Why are they retconning that?" Then I realized that it's about Katara's daughter.

Dude same here! Legit didn't stop to think that it was about Katara's daughter instead of her mom until I read your comment 😭

Cool, wanted/hoped for a childhood story about Aang's kids for a long time. This is close enough. 

I do have to wonder if Korra books will be limited like Aang era books now. Since the announcement of the movie the books clearly cannot advance the time frame too much. Wonder if Seven Havans did the same thing for Korra books.

Does semi confirm a 3rd Korra one shot after Mako and Kya for collection purposes. Could be anyone really with Kya opening the doors. Asami? Varrick? Red Lotus? All have pasts you could deep dive into.

I assume the Suki story will be in comic shops first/online then collected more widely later.

I’m so happy about Kya getting a one shot! I had always said that she would be a good character for one and wanted to learn more about her. I’m happy that my prediction came true! 🥹❤️

Oh duh that makes sense haha

u/ilovewater100 Jul 27 '25

Correct me if i'm wrong, but is this the first time we ever get the names of the other Kyoshi Warriors?

2

u/MrBKainXTR Check the FAQ Jul 27 '25

In the comic Suki Alone we get the names of two kyoshi warriors: Jie and Mingxia

Notably neither of them are in the group pictured. Mingxia quit the Kyoshi Warriors before the events of the show and left for the mainland EK. Conversely Jie stayed on Kyoshi Island when Suki and the others left after meeting Aang.
