I'm not familiar with her YA stuff, but she's talked me into trying out the first issue with this interview.

The more I read about this, the more I want the mini to be out.
I am so starved for a solidly written, action-packed superhero book, starring a strong female hero.
This might be it...
Keeping my fingers crossed that this is as good as it sounds!

Isnt white tiger the guy from the Crew who was a cop? Is this an older character or one they made up for this mini?

[abyss]

Yes Kasper Kole was the White Tiger in the crew. This is a new White Tiger she is the niece of the orignal White Tiger Hector who been around in the 70's. Hecotr was killed in Daredevil when he was shot by police officers outside the court whe nhis trial ended. His amulet was passed down to Del Torro his niece wh oever wears the amulet poses the powers and mantle of the White Tiger. She has been the White Tiger inDaredevi lafter the death of her uncle but now she is geeting her mini.

I *have* read tons of Tamora Pierce's YA stuff, and she's pretty good -- and very popular, too, so her name has the potential to bring in new young readers. Hope it works out. I'm looking forward to it.
