OMG! New Avatar Series!

[parallax23]

This is the best news I've had in a long time.  Avatar: The Last Airbender, which has to have been one of the coolest TV shows in the history of TV shows will be getting a follow-up mini-series known as Avatar: Legend of Korra.  Below is the first image released for the show.

The official Wikipedia Series Overview entry is:

Korra is a female Waterbender native to the Southern Water Tribe, as Water succeeds Air in the Avatar Cycle. Korra has already mastered Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending, but has yet to master Airbending. She will learn Airbending from Aang and Katara's son, Tenzin, an Airbending Master. Unlike the previous series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra is rooted in only one place. This location is called Republic City, a place where people of all nations, benders and non-benders, live together. The city is ridden with crime and is rattled by an anti-bender revolt, which serve as challenges for the characters in the show.

The bad news...  How could there possibly bad news?  Right, the series won't start until November 2011 and it's only going to be 12 episodes.  Still, I'm psyched to see it.
