** Having grown up in near isolation from the rest of the world, it doesn't occur to Korra that [[HeteronormativeCrusader some people]] might take issue with her relationship with Asami.
** Kuvira attacking Republic City with [[HumongousMecha the Colossus]], and the attempts of the heroes to stop it, destroyed a lot of the city. Both the police station and city hall are out of commission, with their respective staff having taken up temporary headquarters in residential areas. The government has basically no money thanks to the massive cost of reconstruction. Hundreds of people have been left homeless and are set up in tents city outside the city. And with the police stretched thin and communication spotty thanks to the spirit portal, the bending gangs have grown in power.
** The mere existence of the new spirit portal becomes a point of contention; relationships between spirits and humans may have improved greatly since Avatar Wan's time, but they're still not perfect, and the spirits aren't happy about having another entrance to their world in the middle of a populated human city. And while Korra, Asami and the Air Nomads are willing to watch over the portal and prevent its exploitation, the land around the portal did have an owner before it became "sacred", who would want to see a return on his investment.
** A couple can sometimes be more effective when they're not working alongside one another. While at the refugee camp, Asami declines Korra's request to join her on her visit to the refugees, on the basis that she'd be unnecessary with the Avatar there. Instead she spends her time drawing up housing development plans in order to get the refugees back into proper accommodation, which ends up fitting in nicely with Korra's promise to find homes for them all in her RousingSpeech to them.
** Mako's [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu arm]] is still injured. Only a few days have passed since the wedding, so no HollywoodHealing.
** Korra and Asami may have become a couple, but that doesn't mean that they'll immediately start being physically intimate with one another, as demonstrated when Asami makes a move on Korra in her office. Different people will become more comfortable with physical intimacy at different speeds.

* {{Filler}}: A filler ''trilogy'' to be exact. The trilogy confines most of the story to a problem more rampant in Republic City, goes deeper into Korra and Asami’s relationship, and delves into more detail of people who aren’t heterosexual in the world of Avatar. However, the trilogy has otherwise minimal impact on the greater plot; the next trilogy ''Ruins of The Empire'' follows up on the fallout from the Earth Empire’s fall, so it’s rather understandable if one skips this trilogy and reads ''Ruins'' after the Book 4 finale.

* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] somewhat with President Raiko, who is certainly far more villainous than in the series. While he was often at odds with Korra and her friends from the very first, previously he was more of a well-intentioned ObstructiveBureaucrat who always seemed to care first and foremost about [[TheNeedsOfTheMany what was best for the Republic and its citizens]]. By contrast, the comics portray him as a standard SleazyPolitician who cares nothing for the dispossessed people, only about staying in power, to the point of seeming to sabotage relief efforts for political gain. For the guy who was prepared to ''surrender his office to Kuvira'' rather than fight to keep it mere weeks of in-universe time before in the last season, specifically in order to spare his citizens from the devastation and horrors of war, this is a major downgrade.

** Besides outright anti-gay stuff, the major fan criticism of the Korra-Asami pairing is the (alleged or real) nigh-complete lack of foreshadowing and prior character development leading up to it. Here, Korra and Asami effectively argue at some length against that as they reminisce about their past, agreeing on how they felt special together (but maybe didn't quite understand it right away) from the very first time they met, and how they grew closer with time, as well as why they nevertheless would never clearly state their feelings before this comic [[IncrediblyLamePun came out.]]

** From another point of view, Zhu Li's election campaign against Raiko resembles the 2016 American presidential elections in some ways, with a business executive with no previous political experience appearing out of nowhere to run a populist ticket against an unpopular insider and a political establishment perceived as incompetent, and/or corrupt by many of her followers--while the Raiko crew, who were counting on staying in power due to lack of credible opposition, in turn accuse her of cynically exploiting the people's grievances, denounce her as irresponsible and try to spin the media against her (only to see this backfire). The parallels increase as [[spoiler:the business challenger defeats the establishment candidate]].
