Bryan Konietzko, the creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, announced Threadworlds as his new project intended for San Diego Comic-Con. Konietzko's upcoming piece of work Threadworlds is about a young heroine named Nova and her long origin story as scientific superhero.

Konietzko collaborated with Michael Dante DiMartino and submitted the project to Nickelodeon several weeks later, after an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Both designed the Threadworlds from the very first details of Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2001.

The animating, drawing, writing duo of Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, produced the three seasons of the of Avatar: The Last Airbender and four seasons of its sequel, Legend of Korra.

The duo's first success as sole creators and showrunners of the Avatar setting, people have been on high alert for whatever Konietzko and DiMartino might do next - the original graphic novel, Threadworlds is Konietzko's answer for it.

Bryan Konietzko stated, "Imagine five planets that share a single orbit. Imagine an inquisitive young scientist, curious about the world, setting out on adventures across the universe," Konietzko also added,"Threadworlds has high stakes, relatable characters and a wide range of tones - similar to the work I co-created with Michael. And though the focus is on science, there will be plenty of action and adventure."

The lush backgrounds and the distinctive architecture of Avatar are some familiar elements featured in the art series but the new addition is the rabbit or kangaroo inspired race.

Threadworlds' first volume will be available in 2017.

Konietzko said, "I definitely wasn't aiming to be topical, but once science became the focal point of the story I knew it was important to me to have a young girl as the main character. This is basically the Nova's long origin story as scientific superhero. I hope she'll be inspiring to readers of all genders and ages, but especially girls who are interested in studying and pursuing science."
