The alliance between these two companies will debut five significant titles such as new stories from Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra, the widely recognized Plants vs. Zombies, as well as Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, The Witcher, and Cyberpunk 2077. These classic tales will undergo a unique redesign to fit Webtoon’s distinctive vertical-scroll format, delivering an exciting and immersive experience for fans as they revisit their beloved universes. The launch of these eagerly awaited titles is planned for the second half of 2025, with further details on release dates to be shared at a later time.
Fans Can Expect to Find Something New to Love in Classic Favorites
This new alliance between Webtoon and Dark Horse Comics is a major leap forward for digital comic enthusiasts, especially those who have been engrossed in the stories set in the universes of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Plants vs. Zombies.” For fans of Nickelodeon’s animated sensation, “The Legend of Korra,” this partnership brings exciting news – a long-awaited continuation of Aang’s successor’s journey, featuring unique stories tailored exclusively for Webtoon. This return to the world of “The Legend of Korra” years after the series ended is designed to attract a new wave of readers into the bending and spiritual exploration realms, while also offering a fresh perspective for dedicated fans.
The success of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” comics on Webtoon, with over 13 million views, demonstrates that there’s a huge demand for these stories in a digital, mobile-friendly format. With the existing readership of “Avatar” comics on Webtoon, “The Legend of Korra” has a strong base to grow and connect with an even larger audience.
Just as adding “Plants vs. Zombies” is set to excite fans of this widely acclaimed game, the comedic and fast-paced struggle between the brain-eating zombies and their clever plant defenders will carry on in comic strip form, specifically tailored for Webtoon. This decision highlights the platform’s versatility in accommodating various narrative styles, ranging from epic tales to amusing strategic battles, ensuring a broad audience appeal.

Apart from these two crowd-pleasers, this collaboration is set to unveil other eagerly awaited stories from well-known fandoms as well. The much-loved tabletop RPG “Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins” will be transformed onto the digital page, inviting readers to plunge right into the thrilling escapades (and occasionally misadventures) of a group of unconventional heroes. Fans of a darker fantasy genre are likely to be captivated by “The Witcher”, chronicling Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter, on his journey, inspired by the successful video game series and Netflix’s adaptation featuring Henry Cavill (who will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth in the upcoming season). Last but not least, the gritty future depicted in “Cyberpunk 2077” will come to life through a compilation of pulse-pounding narratives, introducing fresh characters amidst the neon-lit cityscape of Night City.
Tim Wiesch, Dark Horse’s Vice President of Business Development, voiced enthusiasm about the upcoming partnership, commending Webtoon for their skillful adaptation of the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics and expressing faith that the platform will faithfully bring these cherished series to a wider audience by making them more accessible to readers around the world. A crucial aspect of this collaboration is the strategic redesign for vertical scrolling, as it aligns with the reading preferences of mobile users and digital webcomic enthusiasts.
The complete lineup of comics represents an exhilarating broadening of Webtoon’s existing collection, confirming its position as a top provider in the global webcomic scene. Though the exact release dates for each series are still unknown, the mere announcement has ignited anticipation among fans who can’t wait to revisit these cherished universes through a fresh perspective.
