Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"After putting a beating on Sano and his bloodthirsty Yakuza warriors, White Tiger and Daredevil face the long arm of the NYPD -- and its crosshairs. Being a wanted vigilante is a newsflash for Del Toro as she realizes becoming an enemy of the state isn't easy. On top of a visit by everyone's favorite web-slinger, a cold hard rejection by Matt Murdock, and a bruising punch fest with Cobra, Angela learns that divorcing her real-life identity from masked crusading is not as simple as just removing a mask, nor is it all that realistic. And to add it all, Chaeyi and its shadowy activities keep running unchecked with no leads in sight.
The only thing that seems to be constant is the indecision, violence, and frustration following White Tiger without pause...welcome to her world. It's about to get much rougher!"
White Tiger #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
