Anyone reading IDW's "New Ghostbusters" Series?
As a huge Ghostbusters fan, I love anything Ghostbusters related, and this new series has me kind of excited. It's only 2 issues in so far, but a brief explanation is Dopplegangers have kindnapped the Ghostbusters, and moved them to a limbo-esqe location. While they try to figure out why they're there and how to get out, someone has to fill in their shoes. This leaves Janine and Walter Peck with this monumental task. The writers say the new team isn't permanant, and the guys will come back (most likely adding a person or two to the team when it's over) but so far I'm enjoying them, plus the main guys are still in the issues as well so...
OH! It also has a side story for the old Real Ghostbusters cartoon! Anyone else checking this out? If so what's your thoughts? Also, here's a pic of the 1st cover I have.
I have not but I will give it a look. Not familiar with past series. I have seen the movie. LOL
The writing is definately different from the movie, although recreating Harold Ramis and Dan Ackroyd's humor is something most can't do anyways and what made the original GB so awesome. It's still interesting though, the new team is made up of some wierd people. There's Janine, Kylie from the old "Extreme Ghostbusters" cartoon who is an employee at Ray's Occult Bookstore, an FBI special agent Melanie Ortiz, and finally an arrogant guy most people hate Ron Alexander. Ron was recently the head of a rival Ghostbuster company, that nearly destroyed the city, and is doesn't really care about anything except stealing the real GB's schematics and himself of course. The city is trying to publicize the Ghostbusters and make them into something they aren't so they can make more money of them than the original four, but if they don't cooperate they can't stay in business anymore, so it's a tough situation.
