The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS #1 from IDW Publishing. Erik Burnham writes, and Dan Schoening
draws.
The boys have disappeared, and no one has been able to
figure out where they’ve gone. Or been taken. Janine has managed to keep the
doors open so far, but now she’s having to find someone to help her do some
actual ghostbusting. But then Peck shows up and takes over, forcing her to take
on a new ’buster.
I like this kind of story. It’s big, and it makes sense, and
you wonder how they haven’t thought of it before. But it really shakes things
up, even if only on a temporary basis. And these are just the kind of
characters you’d expect to be hanging around the Ghostbusters. I’d say I was
happy to see Peck even, but he’s just so unlikeable. But that’s what makes him
a great foil.
I like the start of this new title. There’s good
storytelling going on here, and who the heck doesn’t love the Ghostbusters?
There, I said it. Now keep ‘em coming, boys.
THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS #1 is available now at your FLCS or by
order from idwpublishing.com.
