Comic books are a form of art and literature all their own and a series like Hyde Street is so much more than just a comic. The horror series Hyde Street brings readers another installment that will leave you both enthralled and repulsed at times. Hyde Street #4 follows an actor that has been typecast as a patchwork monster, but life slowly begins to imitate art on the famous Hyde Street.
Is Hyde Street the Newest Thing in Horror?
For those that love an original story line and absolutely stunning illustration, Hyde Street does both so well. The story follows the Matinee Monster, Oscar Oddman who was typecast as Frankenstein. He ends up on Hyde Street where he is attacked and disfigured and his new normal is that of a monster.
For those that love a classic story with a new twist, this is a wonderful option that really does hit home and does approach the topic of Frankenstein and being an outsider in an industry that so values looks in a new way. Hyde Street #4 is a fantastic installment that helps readers learn more about the people and monsters that populate Hyde Street and some of the lore that come with them.
Every installment of Hyde Street is a wild ride from start to finish.
A Wild Ride and a Unique Approach
For those that want something different, writer Geoff Johns has certainly done that. He creates not only a character but a world that you can become immersed in, that you can truly become so enmeshed with that you forget what is real and what isn’t. Hyde Street is a series that will keep you up at night and that will leave you waiting impatiently for the next installment.
Geoff Johns is part of the company, Ghost Machine, a creator-owned company that allows the creator to stay in control of their content and their works. This is a company that does so much more than just create comics and allows for a place to publish them. It helps to break away from the norm and helps to keep the ownership of the content with the creator and, therefore, they get to keep the use and the financial benefit as well.
Ghost Machine Comics
Ghost Machine comics are a truly unique and different approach to typical comic publishing and typical comic creation. Instead of the writers and illustrators doing all the work and turning it over to a publisher, Ghost Machine leaves that to the writers and illustrators in control of their intellectual property.
The company was started in 2023 and is a creator-owned cooperative media company. For those that illustrate or that write comics, this is a new company that leaves power in the hands of the creator. Ghost Machine offers a huge range of comics from Hyde Street, Geiger, Redcoat, Rocketfellers, Hornsby and Halo and more. The company focused on sci-fi and horror and truly has a ton of different comics to choose from for those that are looking for a great company that offers top-notch content that is going to help you and stoke your creative fire.
