APRIL 22, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — This summer, Mad Cave Studios invites readers to descend into the eerie world of LOOK INTO MY EYES, the all-new creator-owned horror series steeped in mystery, menace, and a psychological unraveling that begins with a missing girl…
Featuring writing and art from Rubine (The Expanse, Voltron, Astronaut Down), with colors by Francesco Segala (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, House of Slaughter) and lettering by El Torres (Roman Ritual, Nancy in Hell), the tale that questions the truths beneath the surface, where the monsters are never just monsters, and the truth is embedded in every panel.
In this first issue of Look Into My Eyes, readers are introduced to Cravenwood, a seemingly quiet town hiding dark secrets. When Suzy, a high school student, mysteriously vanishes, conspiracy-obsessed teen RJ Nguyen is determined to uncover the truth. But things in Cravenwood are far from normal. As RJ digs into Suzy’s disappearance, she stumbles upon the unsettling rise of Knock Knock, a wildly popular social app that seems to be taking over the town. Oh, and did we mention the sudden appearance of grotesque, many-eyed monsters lurking in the shadows?
With QR codes embedded throughout the issue, you can dive deeper into Cravenwood’s eerie lore by stalking the characters’ social media and exploring secret documents and hidden clues. Are you ready to uncover the secrets of Cravenwood?
“Look Into My Eyes is my most personal and ambitious work to date—my first series as a full creator—and Mad Cave Studios has been the perfect home for it,” said writer and artist Rubine. “Inspired by my struggles with illness, isolation, and the fear of not fitting in, the story explores adolescence as a true horror story, with emotional burdens manifested as literal monsters. The incredible creative team, including Mike Marts, Marla Eizik, El Torres, and María Llovet, helped shape every layer of this immersive world, enhanced by QR code-driven lore and manga-influenced art. It’s a story about identity, transformation, and finding your place in the chaos.”
For fans of Stranger Things, Uzamaki, and Paper Girls, Look Into My Eyes offers a fresh, uniquely multimedia take on teen horror with social commentary at its core.
Look Into My Eyes #1 features covers by Rubine and María Llovet (Eros/Psyche, Faithless), and hits comic shops on July 23, 2025. Preorder at your local store by June 30—and whatever you do, don’t download Knock Knock…
