Speaking with EW, the Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra creator called Threadworlds the "long origin story" of protagonist Nova, who will eventually emerge as a "scientific superhero"."I hope she’ll be inspiring to readers of all genders and ages," said Konietzko, "but especially girls who are interested in studying and pursuing science."Threadworlds will be set around five planets that share a single orbit. Nova begins her journey as an "inquisitive young scientist, curious about the world".Konietzko will write and draw the book, which will have the kind of high stakes and relatable characters found in his other work."As for what to look forward to, Threadworlds has high stakes, relatable characters and a wide range of tones – similar to the work I co-created with Michael (Dante DiMartino, Konietzko's collaborator). And though the focus is on science there will be plenty of action and adventure. That’s definitely me being true to myself as a creator."Read the full interview with Konietzko here.
