Witchblade passes the Gauntlet around with Team-Up Variants this September

Posted on by Leave a comment

Image Comics and Top Cow have revealed a line-wide Witchblade Team-Up variant covers in celebration of the milestone Witchblade (2024) #25 issue’s premiere this September. Some of the biggest names in comics will put their artistic spin on Witchblade as its iconic characters make an appearance across the covers of some of Image’s most popular ongoing series.

Witchblade is a comic book series published by Top Cow Productions, which ran from November 1995 to October 2015 and December 2017 to January 2020. The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner. The comic series was made into a TNT television series in 2001 and was directed by Ralph Hemecher and starred Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. Later, Top Cow and Japanese animation studio Gonzo produced an anime adaptation of Witchblade, which debuted in 2006.

Marguerite Bennett and Guiseppe Cafaro’s current run on Witchblade (2024) features a reimagined origin, with contemporary takes on familiar characters, as well as fresh story arcs to hook new fans and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ’90s Image Revolution. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life is forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power? …Or will she be consumed by it?

Witchblade will appear on the covers of:

Betrayed by Earth’s heroes and exiled into outer space, the man-monster Hulk has landed on the distant planet Sakaar, ruled by the tyrannical Red King. Sold into slavery, Hulk becomes the Green Scar, the planet’s mightiest gladiator — but his new masters get more than they bargained for when he forges a bond of brotherhood with his fellow fighters: crafty insectoid Miek, the horrific Brood, wise rock-man Korg, shadow warrior Hiroim and noble-born rebel Elloe and her loyal guardsman Skee. Together, these gladiators start a revolution that could change their entire world — or destroy it. It’s savage sci-fi fantasy by award-winning writer Greg Pak, guest-starring the Silver Surfer!

Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis’ Hyde Street Vol. 1 brings Nightmares in time for Halloween

Posted on by

This spooky season, Ghost Machine invites fans into the shadows with the chilling release of Hyde Street, Vol. 1 by masters-of-the-macabre Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis, with haunting hues by Brad Anderson, razor-sharp inks from Danny Miki, and disquieting lettering by Rob Leigh. This trade paperback will collect souls issues #1-7 of the critically acclaimed, ongoing horror series and hit shelves in October from Image Comics.

In every city and town, off every country road and metropolis avenue, if you make a wrong turn…you might find yourself on Hyde Street. And that’s where the nightmare begins… Because the residents of Hyde Street aren’t exactly neighbors you want to borrow sugar from. With residents such as Mr. X-Ray, Pranky: The World’s Most Dangerous Scout, Miss Goodbody, Doctor Ego, The Matinee Monster, and controlled by the mysterious Score Keeper, Hyde Street holds unimaginable secrets—and untold terrors. What is Hyde Street? A place? A punishment? A reflection of something far more sinister? Cracking the spine on Hyde Street, Vol. 1 is the only way to find out.

Perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone, Ice Cream Man, and the most twisted of Goosebumps stories, Hyde Street, Vol. 1 is a spine-tingling, reality-bending collection of tales for those who love their horror with a wicked Chelsea smile.

Hyde Street, Vol. 1 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534335363, Lunar Code 0825IM0464) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 1 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 14.

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.
