Article Summary

Geoff Johns & Ivan Reis reunite for Hyde Street, launching October 2nd via Image Comics' Ghost Machine imprint.

Hyde Street features horror-centric characters like Mr. X-Ray and Pranky, offering dark, thrilling narratives.
Previews, quotes, and cover images highlight the homage to Blackest Night in the new Hyde Street comic.

James Viscardi, who quit ComicBook.com for VP of Business Development at Image Comics earlier this year, emails me over the weekend saying "think i can get any love for the hyde street homage cover kat just emailed out? fun little blackest night homage"

Ah yes, the new Ghost Machine comic book being published through Image Comics, Hyde Street by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, the team that brought us Blackest Night, Justice League and Aquaman at DC Comics. And launching on the 2nd of October. I told him I'd look… but then I forgot about it. So he messages me again today "any possibilities on that one ^^ FOCs today"

I tell him I'm also not sure it's actually a story in and of itself. Comic book has cover that looks like another cover… it's not exactly Swipe File material. Seems rather short. "haha did you get the press release? i think there were quotes in it" There probably were, James, I'm not sure I saw the press release, I am sure it's around here somewhere, but it's late in London, I've been off the site, and oh wait he's sending them across as more DMs…

"With this Hyde Street variant cover we wanted to pay tribute not only to a collaboration in our past, but also to our readers and loyal fans who made Blackest Night such a standout success at the time." – Reis.

"When we began talking about the concept of Hyde Street, our minds naturally went to Blackest Night for its dark horror atmosphere, a sandbox that Ivan and I were excited about playing in again. Like all of Ivan's work this variant cover is brilliant, and we can't wait for fans to join us as we discover Hyde Street together." – Johns

Fine, fine, James Viscardi, it's half past ten and I'm tired. Here you go. Hyde Street #1 with a 1:100 copy incentive homage variant. Final Order Cut-Off today.
