Now the pair have reunited for a new ongoing horror title, Hyde Street.
Newsarama: Geoff, congratulations on the launch of Hyde Street.
Ivan Reis' main cover for Hyde Street #1.
They’re all genre, but they’re not superheroes.
Ivan and I were talking about our love for horror.
So then it was like, OK, how do those choices affect your life?
Ivan Reis' main cover for Hyde Street #1.
And can you escape them?
How did you come to reunite with Ivan on this one?
Johns:We always wanted to work together again.
He’s like, “That’s where I started.
I’d love to do that.”
So that’s where it came from.
What can you say about these characters?
They’re called the Residents, these people that are fixed there.
The other souls aren’t quite as valuable, I would say.
They’re delivered for a purpose that we’ll find out later.
It sounds like you’ve developed a pretty thorough mythology for the book?
Johns:The characters still surprise me when we get into their backstories.
There’s something that Pranky does in #2 that I was not prepared for.
I thought one thing was going to happen and he just starts to go off on this rant.
December’s #3 is going to be a Christmas special, right?
Hyde Street is a part of the Ghost Machine imprint, which is about to celebrate its first anniversary.
How are things going over there one year on?
Johns:We’re all feeling really good.
Every year we do a summit before New York Comic Con, which is our anniversary.
Last year it was super exciting and nerve-wracking because we hadn’t launched and we were keeping it secret.
Last year, when we all got together, it was a life changing experience.
He did a piece when we announced the book, and it had likeGeigerand Redcoat and Rook.
What are you most looking forward to readers experiencing with this series?
I don’t think Hyde Street is going to be what they expect.
That’s my hope.
Hyde Street #1 is out now from Ghost Machine / Image Comics.
