HYDE STREET #1-7 (Geoff Johns / Ivan Reis)

Geoff Johns reforme son duo avec Ivan Reis pour la série horrifique Hyde Street, qui sera publiée à partir d’octobre 2024 sous le label Ghost Machine.

DENVER 07/08/2024 — Ghost Machine has revealed a first look of the covers for its highly anticipated horror universe Hyde Street at its panel during FanExpo Denver over the weekend. The ongoing, monthly Hyde Street series begins with issue #1 on October 2 and the one-shot It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour which will hit shelves just in time for Halloween.

A new epic era in character-centered horror begins as Ghost Machine launches Hyde Street , its newest ongoing series from legendary creators Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, whose long-running collaboration prior to Ghost Machine produced iconic titles Blackest Night: Green Lantern , and Aquaman . The series will also be colored by Brad Anderson, inked by Danny Miki, and lettered by Rob Leigh.

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. For now.

Cover A from Reis showcases the mysterious Mr. X-Ray, with fellow Ghost Machine creator Gary Frank showing off Mr. X-Ray’s wilder side with Cover B. Cover D features Mike Deodato Jr.’s first variant art for Ghost Machine of a terrifyingly mischievous Pranky. Deodato Jr. is best known for his distinct art on DC and Marvel titles alike, including Wonder Woman, Dark Avengers, Infinity Wars, The Incredible Hulk , and The Amazing Spider-Man . Two additional variant covers will be available, from Inkpot Award-winning Batman artist Kelley Jones, and Reis, respectively.

Très très curieux de lire ça.
La preview arrivait à me donner envie.

Premier aperçu :

Oh la belle surprise!!

Malgré la petite preview du début d’année, il m’était difficile de me projeter sur la série. Là, la « Blackest Night » Team dispose de plus de place pour présenter cette « Rue cachée » mais présente dans les grandes villes et dans les petits cantons ruraux.

La série est un plaisir absolu pour les yeux. Yvan Reis reste ce dessinateur d’un niveau exceptionnel. La narration est léchée et les personnages très expressifs.

On fait surtout la connaissance de Mister X-Ray et de ce petit Scout diabolique. Un peu comme une anthologie, on fera (sûrement) connaissance cette rue gérée par un drole de personnage inconnu qui donne les bons points. A chaque damnation son point.

Sur cet épisode, X-Ray, fumeur à la John Constantine ou à la Spider-Jérusalem, est damné à errer dans « Hyde Street » après avoir été un publicitaire peu célèbre des années 60. Il cherche à sortir pour retrouver notre réalité entière.

Le pitch n’est pas encore très clair mais le mystère me donne très très envie!!!

Oui, pareil, ce premier numéro m’a suffisamment intrigué pour avoir l’envie de poursuivre.

Tu as lu le one-shot « Devour »?

Non, je ne l’avais pas préco à cause de son prix. Je le chopperai en numérique…

D’ailleurs, je viens de vérifier, il ne sortira qu’à la fin du mois.
