Hyde Street by Geoff Johns & Ivan Reis from Ghost Machine/Image Comics

Announced at CCXP, Ivan Reis will join Geoff Johns on a new Ghost Machine title, Hyde Street, to be published by Image Comics.

Announced at the Brazilian comic book convention CCXP in San Paulo, the word comes out that Ivan Reis will join Geoff Johns on a new Ghost Machine title, Hyde Street, to be published by Image Comics. Reis is best known for working with Johns on Aquaman and Justice League in the New 52 days. Here's a first look at Hyde Street courtesy of the show and Bleeding Cool's man on the ground, LodiX. Hyde Street is said to be "Blackest Night's fantastic scope with Twilight Zone's thought-provoking drama".

Bryan Hitch tweeted, "GHOST MACHINE is proud and excited to welcome Ivan Reis to the family. He and Geoff will be giving you HYDE STREET from our horror/supernatural line and it's wonderful! Make sure you get Ghost Machine 1 in January to see the preview story!"

Hyde Street was the unnamed title from the initial launch of Ghost Machine earlier in the year with Bryan Hitch, Jason Fabok, Peter J. Tomasi, Francis Manapul, Gary Frank, Maytal Zchut, Lamont Magee, Brad Meltzer and Geoff Johns. It looks like Ivan Reis may have had some "exclusive" deal with DC Comics to work through…

Ghost Machine as a creator-owned and creator-shared universe of storytelling, set up by the already published Geoff Johns/Gary Frank and Bryan Hitch comics Geiger, Junkyard Joe and Redcoat. These are the four universes that make up the imprint, Ghost Machine, Rook Exodus, Family Odysseys and now Hyde Street.

The new Ghost Machine began with November's Geiger: Ground Zero prequel series from Image Comics and then Ghost Machine #1, a 64-page anthology to introduce four shared universes in January.

So what are the books and what are the creators?
