Howard's Profile

Plot
This issue continues introducing the residents of Hyde Street, as they have been doing since issue #6 (it's a good idea to reread HYDE STREET VOL. 1). This time, it's Sister Hood's turn, the clairvoyant who uses her supposed powers of sleight of hand to deceive wicked people who fall into Hyde Street. Her deceptive tactics are detailed in the Sister Hood miniseries.

Currently, Mr. X-ray, Pranky, Matinee Monster,Mrs Goodbody and Doctor Ego have already been introduced. The Demon Within, Raquel Vane, and Green Blood, who trap souls for the even more mysterious and perverse Scorekeeper, are still to be revealed.

Sister Hood's Tarot cards begin to reveal mysterious figures, and one card disappears. She then heads to the castle where Matinee Monster lives, who is holding the mysterious Butcher of Hyde Street. Clarissa wants to speak with him because he knows too much about this cursed place called Hyde Street.

The comic then flashes back to 1920, when Clarissa (Sister Hood) and her sister Lucinda were swindling people by making them believe they were communicating with their deceased loved ones from beyond the grave. Lucinda regrets what they're doing, but Clarissa doesn't care; she only wants the money.

Everything changes when they are caught by the Scorekeeper, who offers them both a deal: one will be transformed into a dove as collateral, a constant reminder of what happens as long as the other sister continues collecting souls. Once she reaches ten million, she will be freed, and the one who became a dove will be forever a part of Hyde Street.

Clarissa has collected almost all the souls at an impressive speed, but her efficiency has slowed as she tries to figure out how to escape that place and save her sister from that eternal curse. She doesn't yet know how, but the Butcher of Hyde Street seems to, and he's blackmailing her. That's why he possesses the missing Tarot card with Pranky's image; the two are mysteriously linked.

This saga improves with each installment, each one revealing more mysteries that piece together this puzzle of cosmic mystery and horror.

Plot
This issue includes a brief introduction to Simon and Albert's first adventure, which can be read in REDCOAT TP Volume 1 of this saga. It narrates how Albert Einstein's sister, Maja, interacts with Native Americans and how her magic allows her to have visions of Simon. This explanation ties up several loose ends from the first story arc.

Albert discovers that Benedict Arnold, the other immortal, has returned because a ship dredging the bay floor has moved the wreckage of the SS Majestic, which had trapped Benedict against the seabed. Because he is immortal, he never drowned, but for 17 years he was unable to move. Benedict possesses the Axe of Lies, the only weapon capable of killing both Simon and Arnold. Arnold emerges from the depths of the sea and kills six sailors with the axe.

Simon and Albert prepare to search for Arnold. Simon goes to his boss, the tailor, to tell him about his absence, only to discover Arnold trying on a suit. The two have a tense conversation while Simon takes his measurements, pretending everything is fine. Benedict doesn't threaten him; he accepts that Simon has surpassed him in every way and offers him and his family a gift: immortality.

A magnificent installment where Simon faces Arnold under immense pressure, with much to lose, and the mysterious supernatural theme of the origin of Simon's immortality once again shakes his new and beautiful life as a family man.
