Of all the titles under the Ghost Machine, Hyde Street is something I still struggle with understanding how I feel. The premise of “The Twilight Zones Meets Tales From the Crypt” is well-intrigued, as is the collection of characters living on Hyde Street. However, unlike Geiger and Rook: Exodus, the story feels a bit scattered. Sister Relationship: Hyde Street Story #1 provides another pass for the upcoming series.
As the title suggests, Sisterhood focuses on the mystical Fortune Terror sisterhood that first appeared in Hyde Street #5. It also tells the story of two best friends, Sophie and Violet, joined by tragedy. Tragedy also separates them. Because Violet’s attempt to join a sorority when the duo raided the university led her to lose her life. Suffering with grief, Sophie heads to Hyde Street and meets her sister Hood.
Sisterhood comes from the creative teams of Maytal Zchut and Leila Leiz. He previously worked on Devour One Shot, which he had spun from the main Hyde Street series. Just as Devour dries Dreg to readers from start to finish, Sisterhood builds a compelling story. You come for the friendship between Sophie and Violet. It feels authentic in all the right ways. Sighing in horror in several sequences, we are intrigued by the ending in which Violet begins her revenge.

If Sisterhood #1 feels personal, then that’s because. “I often describe this series as a story of a friend’s “division.” The topics I feel are often uncovered, but can be as painful as losing other important relationships,” Zchut said in an interview. Reading Sisterhood #1 I definitely felt the personal pain of stealing the page. The moment Violet learns about Sophie’s death is just as devastating as the way she slowly sinks into herself. Losing someone close to you is like losing a part of yourself, and Zchut makes sure pain resonates as much as the element of fear.
Lesz also offers some beautiful artwork rendered in lush colors by Alex Sinclair. The outstanding figure is Sister Hood himself. At first, she appears to be an etheric figure, dressed in a ghostly white dress with a veiled face. But as the matter progresses, what suggests her dark nature begins to leak. And lesbians enjoy the opportunity to provide a scary image. It’s not as scary as the scene where Sophie begins to drown. In a series of panels, the lesbians show her struggles and draw her final breaths as the terrorist clouds her eyes.
I also like the way Rise and Sinclair make their characters feel clear. Violet, who has studied quite a lot, is mostly displayed in hoodies and jeans. Sophie is more “girly” of the two, often wearing dresses and wearing makeup. And the sorority she is about to join is full of girls wearing frills and bright pink, hiding a more sadistic nature.
Sister Relationship: Hyde Street Story #1 is not the beginning of another expansion in the Hyde Street Universe. It’s an emotional gut punch to activate. If this series is successful, we hope Hyde Street will continue to give other residents their stories.

Zchut makes this story feel very personal. This means that horror elements will hit more violently.
Wraith and Sinclair offer incredible artwork, bringing out distinct characters, especially when Sister Hood is concerned.
It proves that many of the characters on Hyde Street deserve their own spinoffs.
It hooks you from the first page and won’t let it go.
