Because Doom demanded it—Tiger Division returns this March!
When Doctor Doom’s rule begins in ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, a new status quo-shifting event starting in February, Marvel’s powerhouse South Korean superhero team will fall in line in DOOM’S DIVISION, a five-issue tie-in comic book series written by Yoon Ha Lee, award-winning writer of the Machineries of Empire series, who made his comics debut in X-Men: The Wedding Special #1; and drawn by all-star artist Minkyu Jung, known for his acclaimed work on Doctor Aphra and Ms. Marvel.
In their explosive debut series, Tiger Division boldly opposed Doom, earning their respect and animosity in one fell swoop! Never one to forget, now that he’s in control of these promising heroes, Doom will transform them into his fiercest defenders! In addition to original members Taegukgi, White Fox, Luna Snow, Lady Bright, Mr. Enigma, Gun-R II, and the General, the series will see Tiger Division’s mission expand as it recruits other fan-favorite heroes including Wave, Aero, and more.

Tensions are high, and the stakes are higher as Tiger Division imposes Doom’s will throughout the Marvel Universe!
