An early look at Mad Cave’s upcoming supernatural murder mystery series, String, written by Paul Tobin (The Mammoth, Bunny Mask), with art by Carlos Javier Olivares, colors by Sara Colella, and lettered by Taylor Esposito.
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?
“I’ve always been fascinated by the differences in how people see the world, and Yoon is a culmination of my fascinations,” said Paul Tobin. “She can see connections others can’t. Secrets others can’t possibly know. It’s fun stepping into her world. Intimidating, though, too! And working with Carlos has been the most amazing part of it all, because he and I are doing the exact thing I’m talking about–working the same world in different ways! Whenever he turns in art I’m like, “Ooo! I didn’t expect that! But he’s RIGHT!””
“String makes you disconnect and get into the story filled with fantastic characters,” said Carlos Javier Olivareso. “It’s pure entertainment with situations and strings that make you stay hooked to their plots–a delightful work from Paul, fresh and with lots of action. It’s a real pleasure to share it with you! You’re going to have a great time!!!”
The debut issue hits local comic shops on November 13, 2024 (FOC: October 14) from Mad Cave Studios.
