Tiger Division, a team of new and existing Korean superheroes, will get their first solo series in November. The team will be led by White Fox and will include the patriotic fighter Taegukgi, a sorceress named Lady Bright, the street-fighting demigod Mr. Enigma, The General, and the opinionated android Gun-R II. The five-issue Tiger Division limited series will be written by Emily Kim (Silk) with art by Creees Lee (Marvel’s Voices: Identity) and will launch on November 2 with a cover by Lee.

Marvel SVP – Print Sales and Marketing David Gabriel and EIC C.B. Cebulski made the announcement during the Diamond Retailer Panel at Comic-Con. The character Taegukgi was introduced by writer Jed MacKay in the miniseries Taskmaster (see “Marvel Plans Three Black Widow-Tied #1s in April”) and, Gabriel said, became an “overnight success,” with retailers asking for variant covers featuring him, so Marvel decided to create a team of “Korean Avengers.” Although the series will start in Korea, it will have “ripple effects throughout the Marvel Universe,” Cebulski said.
