Over the weekend at ComicsPRO, Ghost Machine announced a new title, Sisterhood, featuring the character Sister Hood. She will appear in Hyde Street #5 in April and then spin off her own comic book, Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story. The year-old creator-owned Image imprint made the announcement at ComicsPro along with news that Sisterhood co-creator Leila Leiz has joined the company as an exclusive artist.
Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story by Ghost Machine writer Maytal Zchut and artist Leila Leiz and launches in July. The duo, who collaborated on It Happened On Hyde Street: Devour, explore co-dependence and revenge in a tale revolving around two life-long friends whose relationship radically changes when one accidentally drowns during a sorority hazing incident. But on Hyde Street, death takes on a terrifying new meaning. And with the new book, Leiz also signed an exclusive agreement with Ghost Machine as a full-time artist.
"Maytal and I had so much fun working together on Devour that we knew we wanted to tell another story together," said Leiz. "When Maytal pitched me the story for Sisterhood, I immediately said yes. And when Ghost Machine offered me a chance to work with them on an exclusive basis, it was another easy answer for me."
