None. Comic,Graphic Novel  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  The sixth and final issue of this limited series finally was released this week, so I took the opportunity to read all six issues as one story (I don't have the actual trade paperback just the individual comics). When I fist started reading these I thought they were just ok, but they grew on me and I think I definitely got more out of them reading the arc as a whole. The art was good - nothing spectacular, but nothing drew my attention away from the story particularly either. Mostly this came across as sort of a standard beginning superhero story although there were definitely some nice Pierce in jokes. I do find myself wondering where they're going to take White Tiger next particularly since her next supervillain encounter has already been set up. (  ) JenJ. | Mar 31, 2013 | Not bad. I know just enough about the Civil War arc and Daredevil that I didn't feel lost, but this certainly isn't one to pick up without having had some exposure to those two things. I didn't feel the lack of not having read previous White Tiger comics, so the writer did a good job on that end. The action was fine, and any characters I didn't recognize were mentioned or described to the point where I wasn't too lost. (  ) Krumbs | Mar 31, 2013 | Merideth says: After inheriting mystical amulets from an uncle, former FBI Agent, Angela del Toro reluctantly takes on the role of costumed hero , with the help of allies old and new. I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did. Tamora Pierce is one of my Top 5 authors, and I was excited to see what she'd do with a superhero character. Unfortunately, this book is too tangled up in Marvel continuity to tell a compelling story. There are flashes of Pierce here -- Del Toro is a strong woman, with mystical aid, willing to work hard to master a greater force and serve as a hero -- however, whenever the story starts to breathe a little bit, we're dragged right back into the convoluted backstory of the Marvel Universe. The art is average, if slightly less cheesecakey than other Marvel offerings. All in all, a disappointment.
