    Hyde Street has the same amazing storytelling I've come to expect from this team, but with some dark and creepy twists and turns. It's 'Mad Men' means 'Supernatural.' The cherry on the already perfect X-Ray glasses, were the details. From a nod to Junkyard Joe (another Ghost Machine comic), to everything happening on every page. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Oct 2, 2024

    There was actually a guy who popularized X-ray specs and packaged Amazing Live Sea Monkeys. Harold von Braunhut was a sleazy racist who marketed some pretty shady stuff by mail order. (Crazy Crabs and the Invisible Goldfish were some of his lesser-known products.) The fictionalized Mr. X is a considerably more appealing anti-hero based on a much less appealing figure. Its nice to see Johns and company twisting his work in a direction that explores the darker end of humanity. Very cool stuff. Read Full Review

    Welcome to Hyde Street, where the monster isn't only at the end of the book. One may also live in a house at the end of the block. Read Full Review

    Hyde Street #1 delivers a chilling introduction to the darkest corner of Geoff John's Ghost Machine universe. While some aspects of the premise remain shrouded in mystery, the haunting visuals and intriguing storytelling make for a promising start to this new horror comic. Read Full Review

    Overall, Hyde Street #1 is a bit of a departure from what readers might expect from both Johns and Reis, but the story and its art simply works. Read Full Review

    Johns sets up a solid mystery suggesting there's going to plenty to explore on Hyde Street for many months to come. This was an exciting debut and one that left me intrigued about what's lurking around that next corner. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Oct 2, 2024

    I have been a fan of Ivan Reis art for a while now and I love the visual style of this issue. It is beautifully and brilliantly detailed in both the characters and the horror around them. Every page and panel is stunning in its design and layout. Read Full Review

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Oct 2, 2024

    HYDE STREET #1 pulls readers into a supernatural world where no past misdeed goes unpunished. Geoff Johns's take on Twilight Zone-esque storytelling is immediately interesting, and the art team's delivery is top-shelf. That said, this first issue is all setup without a compelling hook to demand your return. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Collier Jennings Oct 1, 2024

    Hyde Street #1 is a fairly solid debut, trading on horrifying imagery while its story takes a while to get going. Maybe future issues, including the upcoming Devour one-shot, will dive further into the mysteries of this world, but Hyde Street is going to have to work on its stories if it wants to build a new base of readers.

    This issue took a hard swerve from what I was expecting and I like it a lot. It gave me Twilight Zone vibes, especially with Mr. X-Ray's background and the way it was presented. The art was fantastic, the writing was exceptionally good and the plot is very interesting. Probably my second favorite Ghost Machine book to date, behind Rook.

    Plot
    There is a street that traps those who have something hidden in their past, where guiltness becomes instant death.

    In this place that exists between realities, in the middle of our world and the afterlife, we are introduced to two characters, Pranky the boy scout and Mr X, two Hyde Street Residents.

    Pranky makes an old lady confess her hidden secrets, unforgivable crimes, which this boy scout takes advantage of to earn another badge, something as noble as a boy scout badge is transformed into something scary and cruel.

    Mr X approaches Pranky and warns him that this type of abrupt interventions to the guilty are not fair, but Pranky only wants to continue increasing his badges, as requested by the c more

    I've read this three times now and had to come back and up my score. It really feels like the reader gets a lot without being gouged on the price. Please consider moving over to some more quality titles, like the ghost machine books for example, and leaving the rotting carcasses of $5 and $6 dollar big two books that (mostly) don't deliver on story and are really more about speculation than anything else at this point.

    Other cool debut for the Geiger universe. Loved the last panel. Excited to see where this goes.

    Though the artwork was good, this concept of an evil Twilight Zone just didn't capture me. I wasn't enthralled by the characters and just found myself not caring about this world. Kudos for Johns giving it a shot and I know many people like it. I'm just not one of them. It's a one-and-done for me.

    Reis is a very competent artist, but that "Killing Joke" reference midway through this is a cringeworthy bit of coat-tail-riding in a story that's already heavily reliant on Stephen King for tone/subject matter.

    I swear, the day after Alan Moore dies, Geoff Johns is going to get caught in the act trying to dig up his grave.
