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?

String is one of those comics you won't want to miss. Read Full Review

This new western take on Manga really hit a home run. Fast paced and witty with lots of adult themes running through fabulous art. In a crowded comic rack this should seriously have a blue line drawing you to it as its wonderfully.......Jonn
