FEB. 27, 2024, (PORTLAND, OR) — Mad Cave Studios is excited to bring the highly anticipated trade paperback release of STRING, the critically-acclaimed sci-fi mystery that has captivated readers and critics alike.
Crafted by an all-star creative team, this mind-bending story comes from the brilliant mind of Eisner Award-winning writer Paul Tobin (Bandette, Colder), with stunning artwork by Carlos Javier Olivares, bubbly and bright colors by Sara Colella, and expert lettering by Taylor Esposito. A gripping blend of intrigue and suspense, Stringweaves a tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats!
Yoon-Sook Namgung is a 25-year-old Korean-American woman with the remarkable ability to see two types of “strings” connecting various people. The first is blue and stretches between sexual partners. The second—dark black—connects murderers and their victims. If you have a murder that needs solving, Yoon can help. Worried your partner is cheating on you? Yoon can literally SEE the connections. Yoon’s life—for all the drama and constant TMI—is good, at least until the day she notices a string, a BLACK string, connected to… herself! This means she’ll either soon murder someone, or be murdered herself! So…dang. Which one?
