| “It might seem odd to pair up the open line work of Francis with the super-rendered art of Ivan Reis and Danny Miki, but they’re all such consummate storytellers that it fits the series really well. We’re really blessed to have all these amazing artists under the Ghost Machine banner.”
For his part, Portela raved about the new assignment and working with the creative team on Ghost Machine’s hit HYDE STREET series. “It´s a dream come true! I´m on a great series with one of the best writers, one of the best colorists of the field, and one of the best letterers too. What more can I say? I’m enjoying every line of Geoff’s scripts, not only for the story, but the way he writes: always an image of what he wants comes quickly to my mind. And also, I´m loving these dark stories [in HYDE STREET], full of twists too—and Pranky! I love Pranky! It's impossible not to love that little bastard!” HYDE STREET #9 is in comic book stores NOW and available anywhere IMAGE COMICS are sold! All Ghost Machine titles, including Geiger, Hyde Street, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus, The Rocketfellers, Hornsby & Halo, and more, are also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
