The debut issue of Image/Ghost Machine’s Hyde Street by bestselling writer Geoff Johns (Geiger, Rook: Exodus) and artist Ivan Reis (Avengers Icons: The Vision)—whose long-running collaboration prior to Ghost Machine produced iconic titles Blackest Night: Green Lantern and Aquaman—with colors by Brad Anderson, inks by Danny Miki, and letters by Rob Leigh has sold out immediately at the distributor level. This hot new entry in the horror genre is being fast-tracked for reprint in order to keep up with customer demand.
“The response to Hyde Street has been incredible,” said Johns. “Everyone at Ghost Machine is excited to see it heading back to press and back on the shelves, giving even more readers the chance to discover the mysterious and dangerous Residents of Hyde Street before issue #2 hits stores.”
Hyde Street has garnered early buzz industrywide, including a shoutout in The New York Times’ “8 Comics for Halloween” roundup coverage of notable new horror comics and graphic novels.
In every city and town, off every country road and metropolis avenue, if you make a wrong turn in your soul… you might find yourself on Hyde Street. But be careful who you talk to and what you do because the consequences make death itself seem like the easy way out. Introducing Mr. X-Ray, Pranky the World’s Most Dangerous Scout, Miss Goodbody, and many more… Out to delight, fright and say good night. What is their secret and that of Hyde Street? Only they know.
