White Fox is an Infinity Comics webcomic from Marvel Comics, a limited series starring Ami Han, the titular White Fox. It's written by Alyssa Wong and illustrated by Bruno Oliveira, with color art from Andres Mossa.

Set in the shared Marvel Universe, the comic follows on from events in The Death of Doctor Strange, with Ami mourning a fallen ally and disillusioned with the Agents of Atlas. A call from an old friend then entangles her in a supernatural murder mystery.

As with Marvel's other Infinity Comic webcomics, it's a single-column vertically scrolling comic that's designed to be readable on a phone screen, rather than using a traditional comic book approach to panels and pages.

As an Infinity Comic, the series is (at least initially) only available via the Marvel Unlimited app.


White Fox contains examples of:

  • Actually a Doombot: The Sunset Order's representative, the Big Bad of the series, is actually just a magical paper construct like her samjokgu construct. Either the real woman left before Ami confronts her, or she was never really there.
  • Armed Legs: Kyungtae has a retractible blade built into the heel of his shoe.
  • Armor-Piercing Question: At the start of the series, Ami's teammate Luna Snow says she's concerned and asks if she can help. Ami asks if Jimmy Woo sent her to say that, then presses the point when Luna's offended but doesn't actually deny it. Luna's silence answers the question.
  • Asian Fox Spirit: Ami believes that she's the last of Korea's kumiho, the nine-tailed fox spirits. Her identity proves important to the mystery.
  • Big Eater: Ami is a downplayed example, but Yeji comments on her appetite.
    Yeji Sul: I forgot how much you eat. Is that a kumiho thing or a you thing, do you think? Supernatural metabolism or just an intense love for galbi?
  • A Day in the Spotlight: White Fox made her comics debut in a one-shot Future Fight Firsts: White Fox special, and subsequently appeared in several other books, including a The Death of Doctor Strange one-shot, but this is her first solo series.
  • The Faceless: The face of the Sunset Order's representative, the Big Bad of the story, is never clearly seen. For the final battle she's wearing a full face mask (with a pattern painted on, but no facial features). She's Actually a Doombot in that battle, though, and the only glimpse of her face suggests it may be The Blank, not the original's face.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: The Sunset Order. We see a copy of one of their representatives, and they're ultimately responsible for the killings, but the order itself remains offstage.
  • Infinite Canvas: As with Marvel's other Infinity Comics, it’s presented in the vertical scrolling variant. Each issue is a single long page, with one column of panels.
  • Let's You and Him Fight: The Sunset Order's representative tries to manipulate Ami into blaming the samjokgu for the killings. When that fails after Ami allies with Kyuntae, she decides to kill them both, make it look as if they killed each other, then trick their allies into seeking vengeance.
  • Shapeshifter Mode Lock: The Sunset Order's paper talismans prevent kumiho or samjokgu from shapeshifting, as well as neutralising their other powers.
  • Van Helsing Hate Crimes: The Sunset Order seeks to kill monsters, gods and mythical beings.
  • Wainscot Society: As Ami discovers in the first issue, Seoul has a hidden supernatural community.
    Yeji Sul: Dokkaebi. Cheonma. So many kinds of Gwisin. I even met a Jeoseung Saja — you know, a death god — who was really hot actually —
