The fuck if it’s a 35th anniversary why is it about the shitty reboot? Do the original show up in this?
Carson Brooks
John Ortiz
Dominic Reed
No, IDW just did a series of one shots about four versions of GBs: original, cartoon, 2016, and Extreme.

>The fuck if it’s a 35th anniversary why is it about the shitty reboot? Do the original show up in this?
Nope. IDW is still pushing them for some reason. They shoved them into the main Ghostbusters series in 101 and Crossing Over. Then they gave them their own miniseries in Answer the Call (which by issue 4 had a print run of 200 copies, holy shit). And after all those spiking sales, they're STILL insisting on pushing them, giving them a 35th anniversary special.
IDW just won't let them go when literally NO ONE is asking for them.

You realize it might be a command from Sony, right? What are they gonna do, say no?
Besides, with the real sequel coming out next year this is probably it for the Fembusters for a good while.
Leo Lewis

Ian Cruz
Sony seems to be pushing the ATC movie into the shadows in every other marketing outlet, I don't see why they would force the IDW comic to constantly include them against their will. And, c'mon, this is IDW we're talking about. They're as woke as Marvel is. They're pushing the ATC characters because they want that virtue signal and you know it.
Owen King
Oh a ghostbusters Com-
Fuck.

Jesus Christ, IDW. NOBODY WANTS THIS! FUCKING STOP.

Well, if the girls ever show up again I guess we'll know, won't we?
Jose Ramirez
Wyatt Foster
In fairness to IDW, they actually make them entertaining and somewhat engaging. Nowhere near as good as the Real or Extreme Ghostbusters, but you can only do so much with "Wrote a book" "Lolrandom" and "cartoon Egon if he managed to drill that hole in his head."

They were awful in these comics. Holtzmann alone rendered Crossing Over borderline unreadable.
Oliver Rogers

On the plus side, theres whole pages dedicated to the girls realizing that they're an imitation that will never be as good as the originals.
Dylan Reyes

You're severely underestimating just how painfully mediocre the movie versions are. In the comic, they're at least funny.

It could be a funny 4th wall joke if he said "3 Year anniversary" since it hasn't been 10 years since GB2016, as is it's just baffling and making me wonder if he really isn't a self lobotomized Egon.

Funny thing about Holtzmann's actress, halfway through the movie you can tell by her facial expression that she realized she done goofed.

Wait, how do the classifications work again? Or is it all just technobabble?
Luis Gray
Jace Gonzalez
Cooper Evans
Burnham published a Tobin's Spirit Guide a year or two ago that explained it (it's a great book, btw). Classifications describe the various qualities of a ghost, so they're more like categories than power levels (so a Class 10 isn't necessarily super power, for instance, it just has different qualities from a Class 5, etc.).
But this is the ATC universe where they can "kill" ghosts by blasting/punching them, so who the fuck knows.

It'd be better if posessed Abby got to wreak a bit of havoc. As is, all she's done is stand there, menacingly. And drooled snot. Come on girls, do some "Only Zuul" shit, make the wall bleed, lets get some freaking atmosphere going here!

These comics are terrible.
Justin King
I think user's issue is that it's a universe nobody CARES about. Heck, I don't mind these girls myself and I'd rather have a comic about the Rookie from the game.
Josiah Garcia
Logan Smith
Josiah Nelson
Worse. They're mediocre. The girls aren't very funny, the ghosts just aren't menacing and the whole thing feels very phoned in, like the team was just fulfilling an obligation instead of trying to make something good. Also, I just realized the writer of the first story was Devin Grayson. Yes, that one.

That explains the blandness.

Well I'll give the comic actually writes them characters instead of thinking that just having them make jokes was sufficient
Nathan Hill
Now for an actually fun-to-read storytime. Here are all the Liberals shrieking their pants off after Reitman said he was giving Ghostbusters back to the fans.
Jack Harris
I think on the premise of a Ghost of a guy who liked to study the idea of fear and how people process it, and think of all the weird little ways I'd write him doing it. Separate the girlbusters, force them to live through their worst fears, have him semi-stoically note their ways of trying to process it. With one trying to rationalize their way past, another trying to laugh it off and one just going off the deep end. Fourth one, not sure which, is the one that breaks through to save the other three. Lets go with Yates, he posessed her, it's only fair she be the one who foils his tormenting of her colleagues. Plus, I can read her nametag.
If there are as many girl horror protagonists as I remember, and Lucy Desi was as funny as I recall, nobody in this comic has any business not being able to do horror and comedy. There's no excuse.
Zachary White
Landon Lewis
So a storytime of pain?
Jeremiah Green

Abby looks cute
Carter Ortiz

Or comic schedules are planned and writ months ahead of time, and maybe its lower effort to just let these come out as they were planned before the marketing decision than do a cancellation?

I mean, with legendary action horror star Weaver coming back for this picture, maybe Dana can be something other than a distressed figure after being the focal point for two apocalyptic scenarios?

The ghostbusters 3 lineup has 2 females. And the leaks says Mckenna Grace[/spoilers] saves the day. So I don't understand the outrage.
Noah Peterson
I hate to admit to being a hack but I would have had Sahaq say something like "Why is my son blue?" Or some confused grunt here.

All I know is that Mckenna Grace's character is a Egon expy. And the other girl is "cool and quick witted" that begins a relationship with finn wolfhard
Austin Thomas
Julian Roberts
Justin Allen
Isaiah Flores
So one will be Egon and the other will be..Venkman? I dunno why nobody ever genderbend's Ray. Of all the originals he's the most girl like with his perkiness. Then again, that'd be robbing the movie of Dan Ackroyd.
Kayden Kelly

Nathan Reed
Thanks for the story time OP. Went in with low expectations and I have to say, pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed it more than the movie, plus I thought the art and chemistry between the characters were great for the most part.

Well that was crap. Thanks OP for exposing this abortion to the world. Because if you didn't do it, nobody else would.

Are there Carhops on this side of the century, because if not, it might be taking place in the past. And if it is, it might also be about the childhood of one of the Ghostbusters. Or Jeanine.
Joseph Watson
Christopher Young
I remember when Ghostbusters 2016 came out and the promotion was nothing but that girl-power-suck it-manbabies bullshit. Then they were shocked that attacking a whole chunk of the possible audience right out of the gate turned out not to be the best approach.

Liam Martin
Lots of movies survive being bad too.
It was the combination of the movie being bad and the marketing encouraging people NOT to give it a chance that destroyed any chance it had.
It's a fucking comedy series, nobody's expecting it to be GOOD. You're not remaking Citizen Kane here. But when your campaign is to flat out insult your audience, how can you possibly act surprised when nobody wants to see your movie to get more of the same?

Technobabble here. In the RPG and books there are more solid guidelines. Basically it goes to ghost ghosts to primal forces made manifested.

Grayson Kelly
The video game generally followed the RPG's rules.
I don't remember them all, but I believe Class 1 is ball of light, specks in a photograph-type shit.
Classes 4 and 5 are nearly the same thing, they're your standard ghosts except 4s can be identified as dead human beings and 5s are more like summoned creatures from another dimension and sentient primal urges and that sort of thing.
Class 7 is the maximum and represents gods like Gozer.

It's hilarious because THAT movie got Trump elected in the first place.
Kayden Murphy
Yeah but don't post images during one storytime. Wait till its done or start a new one.
Its like a rule.
Henry Adams
Supposedly, grace and wolfhard's characters are the descendants of Egon Spengler
Jose Taylor
>buying a whole new phone when its just the cord that is damaged.
Asher Rivera
I find it eerie that answer the call and 3's release dates are in us presidential elections years
Jayden Reed
It kinda makes sense but yeah, eerie. I find it impressive that Sony was willing to greenlight another movie after 2016 failed so hard.
Samuel Cox
It's a woman, so it makes sense.
Thomas Rodriguez
Well 2016 was extremely successful at proving there's an audience that wants *a* Ghostbusters film, just very much not *that* one.
Austin Garcia
>In the comic, they're at least funny.
Being BETTER than complete garbage doesn't make them good. Burnham does when he can but at the end of the day we were still robbed of a lot of more interesting ideas in order force them. The two versions of Kylie barely even spoke.
Nathan Green
He never specified WHICH cord.
John Anderson
The Sanctum of Slime team one shot was pretty good. I feel like they deserve more attention than they got.
Carson Brooks
I really want to see how the ATC sales numbers stack up to the other one shots, because their mini was hilariously bad
Dominic White
Rank the four 35th annivesary stories.
Cameron Bailey
IDW
Real
Sanctum (Not officially part of the event but Im counting it dammit)
Extreme
I will not even acknowledge the last option. Even ranking it dead last is too much credit.
Hudson Jones
Both cords can easily be replaced. People often by extra long slinkie cords for walking around your office while on the phone.
Of course that was before mobile.
Christian Thomas
The comic needs all the yuks it can get and handing her an entire phone is funnier.
Lincoln Stewart
Aren't they supposed to be technicians anyways? Ego could have made a phone out of scraps in his junk drawer.
Levi Brooks
Should be about time for another Ghostbusters/TMNT crossover
Joseph King
Im tired of crossovers. I don't care about transformers, Im set for the TMNT, I don't even want other universe ghostbusters anymore. I just want normal stories set in the universe/
Ayden Nelson
Probrably still better than whatever dreck Feig had written and then ignored with even worse ad lib "directing".
Yeah. I thought she would have changed it again given... what happened with Dick.
Aiden Sanchez
Everyone's reaction to this.
John Jackson
I was cleaning my dad's house and he had dozens of phone wires he bought from like Radio Shack, as well as ones he "borrowed" from work.
Aaron Bailey
>Then they gave them their own miniseries in Answer the Call (which by issue 4 had a print run of 200 copies, holy shit).
200 copies is that real?
That could be a rare, valuable and sought-after comic if it was anything but the 2016 Ghostbusters.
Aiden Hill
Do we even want a sequel with no Egon though?
