No Dead-End in Sight for Hyde Street with a Double Sellout and New Printing

Posted on by

Hyde Street #3 and Hyde Street #4 by Blackest Night and Aquaman team, Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis along with inker Danny Miki, colorist Brad Anderson, and letterer Rob Leigh, have sold out completely at the distributor level. Both issues of this popular Ghost Machine horror series are being rushed back to print this week by Image Comics in order to keep up with escalating demand.

In Hyde Street #3, picture, if you will, a holiday season filled not with joy or cheer, but with shadows and secrets. Enter a man known only as Mr. X-Ray. His journey is a desperate one, seeking escape from the inescapable. Standing in his way, an innocent malevolence: Pranky, a boy scout who lives not to serve his fellow man, but to serve the dark power that presides over Hyde Street. Yet, during this strange Christmas tale, these two unlikely figures may find common ground…or not.

In Hyde Street #4, witness the demise of a good man in a town without pity. A caring man, with aspirations to be known among his peers as one of Hollywood’s finest actors, only to see these colleagues snicker at him when he’s typecast as a famous film monster made of human patchwork parts. But, as we’ll see, life imitates art in Tinseltown, down a boulevard called…Hyde Street.

Hyde Street #3, second printing (Lunar Code 0225IM847) and Hyde Street #4, second printing (Lunar Code 0225IM848) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 16.

Exclusive: Dark Horse Comics to Publish Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones’s Dracula: Book II – The Brides in November

Posted on by

In 1897, Bram Stoker’s classic novel introduced the most famous literary character of all time—the terrifying vampire lord, Dracula. Now Dark Horse Comics and legendary comic-book creators Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones have teamed up to fill in the tantalizing gaps in the undying centuries of Dracula’s blood-drenched biography in an epic ongoing series of graphic novels. After the resounding runaway success of their first volume Dracula: Book I – The Impaler, these legendary masters of the comic-book arts are returning to the story of the count with Dracula: Book II – The Brides, which explores the mysterious identities of the beautiful and seductive sirens that make up Dracula’s sinister harem. Dark Horse Comics will publish the second of four planned volumes in bookstores on November 18, 2025 and in comic shops on November 19, 2054.

Matt Wagner in the announcement said:

Readers who enjoyed the first volume of our epic exploration into the secret history of the world’s most famous literary character—DRACULA: BOOK I–THE IMPALER—will find even more sinister and horrifying thrills in our next chapter, BOOK II—THE BRIDES. This ongoing project is a real labor of love for both Kelley and me and we couldn’t be happier with our results.  Whereas BOOK I was a look into Dracula’s hellish origins, THE BRIDES is even bigger, badder and bloodier than ever as we unveil the unique and mysterious backstories for this sinister trio of vampiric vixens whose brief appearance in the book is so utterly unforgettable. But this is still Dracula’s story…we’ll see how the centuries he’s spent in his decaying castle lead him closer and closer to the events of Bran Stoker’s classic novel. And, after all, how few days go to make up a century.

Artist Kelley Jones added:

The blood of Dracula and that of his Brides he so lusts for pumps swiftly through my veins as I draw Matt’s amazing epic of the Impaler’s unlife. I can easily say nothing like this has been told and nothing like this has been seen before. Dracula can now be shown in his total horrific glory. His dangerous and beautiful wives will make the undead lord reveal more of himself. Each page is one more step to his fate and each volume is one more century he comes closer to us on a cursed journey you must read to believe. Man, I am glad Matt and I get to bring this to you all. It’s the book I was born to draw.

The first volume of Wagner and Jones’s Dracula saga was a runaway hit, breaking the Top 20 in Kickstarter’s all-time most successful graphic novel campaigns. Dracula: Book II – The Brides presents 120 pages of sexy and sinister story and art, almost 30 pages longer than Book I. Wagner and Jones are once joined for this creepy foray into the shadows of Castle Dracula by the stellar talents of José Villarrubia on colors and lettering by Rob Leigh.

Hornsby & Halo #1 heads back to print

Posted on by

Ghost Machine creators Peter J. Tomasi and Peter Snejbjerg have hit big with the launch of Hornsby & Halo. The debut issue in the Family Odysseys universe series has sold out completely at the distributor level and is being rushed back to print by Image Comics in order to keep up with demand.

Hornsby & Halo is an exciting new tale of Good vs. Evil co-created by Tomasi and Snejbjerg with colors by John Kalisz and lettering by Ghost Machine’s Rob Leigh.

Keeping the cosmic peace isn’t easy. But in Hornsby & Halo, the opposing leaders of Heaven and Hell broker a deal that trades Zachary Halo, an angel child, to a demon family, and Rose Hornsby, a demon child, to an angel family, and hope this truce will halt the winds of war. It’s Nature versus Nurture as the turbulence of adolescence comes crashing down on two teenagers who have no idea just who and what they truly are…yet.

Hornsby & Halo #1, second printing (Lunar Code 0924IM932) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Posted on by

Ghost Machine’s superstar creators—Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Ivan Reis, and Peter Snejbjerg—join forces with The Rocketfellers‘ Francis Manapul for an epic second issue double-page spread spanning the “four known realities” of this groundbreaking creator-owned collective. The spread will appear in the upcoming The Rocketfellers #2, which will be published by Image Comics and hit shelves next month.

Ghost Machine launches The Rocketfellers on November 20 with issue #1. As the futuristic family hides out in “the simple days of 2024,” and struggles to fit into the present, they’re also pursued by a relentless threat from their time.

Tomasi and Manapul, with art by Manapul and lettering by Rob Leigh, this second issue unveils the villains’ search through all four corners of Ghost Machine’s realities—including those of the American history of hidden heroes “The Unnamed” (with Geiger, Redcoat, and Junkyard Joe), the sci-fi breakout hit Rook: Exodus, the twisted terrors of Hyde Street (who is that deadly scout?), and The Rocketfellers’ own “Family Odysseyes” with the upcoming Hornsby & Halo, which is the ultimate experiment in nature vs. nurture by Tomasi and Snejbjerg.
