Hyde Street #10

Hyde Street #10

by Geoff Johns (Writer), Francis Portela (Illustrator), Brad Anderson (Colorist)

She’s read palms, rigged séances, and whispered lies for coin. In 1920, Sister Hood was just another con artist in lace and lace fronts—until her grift drew the wrath of the Scorekeeper and landed her in the cursed dimension known as Hyde Street. Now, a man named Mr. X-Ray walks through her parlor door. And he’s not here for a reading. He’s here to rewrite his fate, and hers.

Geoff Johns originally hails from Detroit, Michigan. He attended Michigan State University, where he earned a degree in Media Arts and Film. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990s in search of work within the film industry. Through perseverance, Geoff ended up as the assistant to Richard Donner, working on Conspiracy Theory and Lethal Weapon 4. During that time, he also began his comics career writing Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. and JSA (co-written with David S. Goyer) for DC Comics. He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.

His first comics assignments led to a critically acclaimed five-year run on the The Flash. Since then, he has quickly become one of the most popular and prolific comics writers today, working on such titles including a highly successful re-imagining of Green Lantern, Action Comics (co-written with Richard Donner), Teen Titans, Justice Society of America, Infinite Crisis and the experimental breakout hit series 52 for DC with Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and Mark Waid.

(B+) 78% | Good
Notes: An origin tale—it's somewhat pale—re: sisters coexist, the issue's good but Sister Hood's an archetype lacking twists.

It’s the origin of Sister Hood and how 2 sisters made their way to Hyde Street. Well done Geoff, Brad & Rob. And well done Francis. The art isn’t Ivan’s, but it sure is nice. I love it. Thank you Ghost Machine for a truly wonderful tale of horror and suspense, just like the stories I loved as a lad.

Its ok

This long-awaited issue fell a bit flat. While the art was beautiful, and the writing fairly good, the premise was just flat. I don't care about this Clarissa characters enough to keep my interest. I hope her arc ends quick cause this was boring.
