'Avatar: Seven Havens': First look at the Earthbender destined to become the next Avatar
The newest Avatar is here! Avatar Studios has unveiled the first official artwork of "Avatar: Seven Havens," the upcoming sequel series to the classic "Avatar: The Last Airbender." The artwork shows a young Earthbender, who is destined to become the next Avatar after Korra. She is accompanied by a man and an animal in a desert kingdom. According to previous reports, the Earthbender is hunted by both human and spirit enemies in an era where her title marks her as humanity's destroyer, not its savior.
