Move Over Avengers - Marvel's South Korean Superteam Launches New Series

The biggest Marvel Comics superhero team in South Korea, Tiger Division, are launching their own limited comic series this November! For decades, the Avengers have been known as the Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they seek to defend the world from great threats that one hero alone can't take on. From worldwide threats like Ultron to universe-shattering villains like Thanos, the team has become well-known for thinking quick and working together to save the day. However, this doesn't mean that they can be everywhere at once. There are limits that even the biggest heroes like Captain America and Iron Man can reach, hence why there are other superhero teams across the universe to keep the peace.

One of these unique teams is Tiger Division, a superhero team based in South Korea. First appearing in Taskmaster Vol. 3 #3 in 2021, the group is maintained by Nick Fury-like director White Fox. Together, they work to stave off threats against South Korea and the world while being watched by the National Intelligence Service. Now, over a year later, the team is back and launching in a miniseries of their own headed by the all-star creative team of Emily Kim and Creees Lee.

According to Marvel in a press release after making their announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, Tiger Division #1 will be the first entry of a five-issue miniseries. In this new comic, Marvel fans will be introduced to the members of the superteam that will surely become new favorites among a plethora of Marvel heroes. Taegukgi leads the group as the powerhouse head of the team with a heart of gold. Working with him are team members like a street-brawling demigod named Mr. Enigma, a card-wielding sorceress named Lady Bright, a living totem named the General and the destined-to-be-fan-favorite android with an attitude named Gun-R II. With the team side-by-side with fan favorite heroes like the shape-shifting White Fox and Luna Snow, they form the Tiger Division and are ready to take on any danger!

Emily Kim, writer of the most recent run of Silk, is picking up the pen for this new series. She's joined by artist Creees Lee who worked on this year's Marauders Annual. They will also be joined by artists Ron Lim, Artgerm, Junggeun Yoon and Peach Momoko who will design various variant covers. Not much is known right now as to who will be the first big bad that Tiger Division will face after facing Taskmaster when he copied Ant-Man's powers, but with a team like this handled by such talented writers and artists, it's sure to be a bombastic debut. When asked about her time working on the first big story for the South Korean team, Kim said:

As a lifelong fan of comics, I never thought I'd get the chance to write for an all-Korean group. Hopefully it's not the last and there will be many more Tiger Division stories to come.

Tiger Division #1 is expected to hit comic store shelves on November 3, 2022. Fans can talk with their local comic shops about pre-ordering to add this exciting debut to their collection. Any fan of Silk will be eager to pick this book up, given the deep characterization and action available in its pages. Tiger Division have a big journey ahead of them as they prove themselves among the vast sea of other heroes in the Marvel Comics universe, but with am all-star creative team, they assuredly have a bright future.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
