Graphic Novel Review - 'The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time' by Various

I've waited over a year to read this, out in physical form, in paperback, and it was worth it. In 'The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time', you'll find cute, colourful short stories, with different writers and artists, that center around different characters from 'The Legend of Korra'.

There's 'Friends for Life', with Korra as a little kid in the snowy Southern Water Tribe, where she first meets Naga the polar bear dog; then 'Skyscrapers', another adorable tale, and a touching moment, about kid Asami and her mother; then 'Wisdom'; 'Lost Pets', a good Meelo (and Korra) yarn; 'A Change in the Wind', about Korrasami, and Jinora's development (such beautiful art in this one!); 'Weaver's Ball', another fun story about Korra as the young Avatar in training; 'Clearing the Air', about a young Tenzin, and Aang; and 'Cat-Owl's Cradle', the final and longest story, about Meelo and Bumi (Lin Beifong cameos). Very funny stuff.

Meaningful, touching stuff, too.

The blurb lies, though: Mako and Bolin are not in this collection at all, which is strange.

Maybe there'll be further short stories in the future. More highlights, please!

Also more Avatar Korra action. And Korrasami.

Final Score: 3.5/5
