The Real Ghostbusters #1 (August 1988)

When the world needs to be protected from the supernatural, who ya gonna call? The Ghostbusters, of course! Since the 1984 film, the franchise had become one of the 1980s most beloved franchises. The franchise would branch out into other media, including comic books. Their first comic adventures were published in 1988 by Marvel's United Kingdom-based imprint known as...Marvel UK. The Ghostbusters were one of the most popular and longest-running comics from the imprint. In the United States, their comic adventures were published by NOW Comics. NOW's Real Ghostbusters series lasted for two volumes. The first lasted 28 issues, and the second lasted for four issues, one special, and two annuals. In 1989, a three-issue miniseries was published that adapted the 1989 film Ghostbusters II using the animated version of the Ghostbusters.

What is NOW Comics, you ask? Well, NOW was a comic book company founded in late 1985 by author and entrepreneur Tony C. Caputo. NOW was based out of Chicago, and most of its comics were licensed, using characters from franchises such as Speed Racer, The Terminator, The Green Hornet, and Astro Boy.

NOW had actually been quite successful for a time, actually for a time being the #3 comic book company behind Marvel and DC. But its successful period was short. The company would file for bankruptcy in 1990. It would make a brief comeback in 1991, but ultimately stopped publishing comics in 1995. Caputo did try to revive NOW in 2003 as a firm to self-publish graphic novels, but the company dissolved in 2006. Caputo, from what I understand, is no longer involved in the comic book business. So, how did the Ghostbusters' NOW debut go? Was it a strong start? Let's find out in The Real Ghostbusters #1!

The cover is a Ken Stacey and Andrew Pratt piece. It's amusing, even though it doesn't really preview the story. It shows the Ghostbusters looking for a monster that's right behind them and raining on Ray...although he doesn't neem to realize it. Look up, dude!

The story beings with Ray Stantz making an announcement: The Wizard is on!

Page 9, Panel 1

However, the other three Ghostbusters aren't interested in the show. Egon Spengler's got molds to watch over, Peter Venkman's got a hot date, and Winston Zeddemore needs a change of scenery as he feels his real life has turned into a TV show. Well, he's not wrong about that.

Elsewhere in the City that Never Sleeps, a quartet of people suddenly appear in a flash of light

Page 10, Panel 1

The group's dialogue implies that they are time travelers on the run from a mysterious "Slug". The Ectomobile zips past them, unaware of the quartet's true nature. The 'Busters are on the way to a sandwich shop called Captain Nemo's Submarina. Mmm...sub sandwich...

The place is being haunted by the ghost of Captain Nemo. Peter is understandably disbelieving this. After all, Nemo is a fictional character. But then again, an episode of the cartoon had our heroes meeting the ghost of Sherlock Holmes. Even though he was fictional too, it was explained that people's belief in the character as if he was a real person basically made him real. It's likely the case here with Nemo, too.

Whatever the explanation, Nemo shows himself to be very real, as he sends a monster that looks like the Abomination. Our heroes manage to take care of the Not-Abomination, then capture Nemo. The time-traveling quartet strike, stealing the trap containing the not-so-good captain.

Page 15, Panel 3

The Ghostbusters head back to the firehouse, utterly confused. Who were those guys? Why did they steal the trap? We get a hint when we check in on them. We learn their names are Turek, Gard, Cowan, and Bethany. However, the comic doesn't say which of them has those names. The only one obviously identifiable is Bethany, as she's the sole woman in the quartet. They see Nemo as a scientist they can "use and abuse". Which...makes sense. Nemo has been described as a brilliant engineer, marine biologist, and a regular renaissance man. 

They caught him in this time period because of his supernatural powers. It's hinted he will be more useful to them as a result of this. We also learn "The Slug" was another scientist they did this to in the group's past. The leader of the group (presuambly the one with the glasses) has a plan to deal with the Ghostbusters, as they naturally will want their trap back. The plan is inspired by the works of classic author Stephanie Queen.

It can be assumed that "Stephanie Queen" is a pastiche of Stephen King. Which makes sense. This comic was originally published in the late 1980s. That was a bit of a heyday for him. That night, as the Ghostbusters are working/sleeping, the time-travelers place small devices near them. The devices are reality shifters, taking them to worlds where things will be...rather unpleasant for them. 

Winston ends up encountering a monster clown who wants to introduce him to a bunch of other monsters. Peter ends up in a high school where the teachers and students are werewolves. Ray ends up in a world where he's forced to end up helping build a spacecraft but gets attacked when he reveals he's not a "saucerman". Egon ends up in a world where everything's in disrepair...and he's seemingly the only person left. 

Back in Winston's reality, he realizes the monsters want him to be afraid of them and to run away.

However, Winston's is not a child anymore. He's a man. He's not frightened of these things. Also, from another persepective, he's a Ghostbuster. He's seen his fair share of frightening things, so it can be assumed that scary clowns and rejects from Universal's horror library is nothing to him at this point. 

In Peter's reality, the other werewolves try to get Peter to change into one. Peter's...not into it. The enraged werewolf teacher roars at him, calling him a "non-conformist". He's supposed to be like everyone else, and high school is supposed to turn him into that.

Back in Ray's reality, one of the other people notice Ray and ask where he's from. When he explains he's from New York, the other people realize that he must have found his own way here on his own ship, and it must have a power source. Ray asks to let them look at the ship's engine. Maybe he can fix it.

Ray examines the ship's engine and discovers the problem. Some of the components of the engine have fallen into disrepair. The other people are angry about this, because they think Ray is hiding his own craft from them, and reveal themselves to be tentacle people. 

Back in Egon's reality, he does some thinking. He realizes that if this reality is based on his, then his secret vault in the firehouse must exist as well. To his joy, it does. You see, the vault contains a couple extra fully charged proton packs. He realizes the others are in trouble and commands the reality to give the packs to those who need them the most. The packs vanish.

Peter gets a proton pack and uses it to destroy the school of werewolves.

Page 27, Panel 6

"Peter is an Alice Cooper fan." 

Ray gets a proton pack, but instead of using to attack the aliens and the craft, he uses it to help fix their engine. Winston doesn't get one. Instead, he points out something to the monsters: He loved monsters growing up. Winston implies he had a lonely childhood, but found solace in monsters. Presumably he watched monster movies and read comic books with monsters in them as a kid. But he's an adult now, and he has real friends. He already desired a break from the Ghostbuster life, and he did not need this. He wants out, NOW! And he finds himself in the firehouse. He hears the screams of Slimer and goes to check it out.

Page 30, Full Page.

"Man, this take on the Glow Worm toy is weird."

Well. Looks like Winston isn't getting that break after all. 

I liked this issue. It was interesting to see the Ghostbusters face a threat that wasn't spectral. But that wasn't really odd to me. After all, in the cartoon series, the Ghostbusters didn't always fight ghosts. They encountered other monsters and beasties as well. It is interesting that the threat they're facing here are people. People from the future, but still people. I do wish that the realities that the Ghostbusters were trapped in could have explored their characters a bit more. For example, maybe it can be shown that Egon fears ultimately being alone, and Peter fears conformity, that he'll be less "special" if he's "like everyone else". 

The art is rather cartoony. Appropriate for a comic book that's a tie-in to an animated series. I think it's a bit looser than the cartoon, if that makes sense.

If you want to read this for yourself, I recommend tracking down the 2012 trade paperback The Real Ghostbusters Omnibus Vol. 1. The trade is from IDW, as they had the comic license to Ghostbusters at the time. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other!

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Reveal Trailer, My Thoughts

The Ghostbusters have had a long history in the world of video games. The first Ghostbusters video game was released in 1984 for various computers and consoles of the time like the Commodore 64, NES, Master System, and the Atari 2600. In March, this new game was announced to be released for Windows, PlayStation 4 and 5, and the XBox One X and S. Let's look at the trailer!

Holy cow, they got Ernie Hudson for this game!

That can't be either of the art museums from the films.

I like the nod to Zeddemore's line from the first Ghostbusters film: "We got the tools, we got the talent!" 

I wonder if one of those Ghostbuster avatars is a nod to Leslie Jones's character from the 2016 film. It strongly resembles her.

The first-person view is something I'm surprised I don't see more games in this franchise do. It's a perfect way to immerse a player into the game's world.

That ghost looks like Slimer's evil cousin, ha ha!

Nothing more fun than busting ghosts with your friends!

"One in the box, ready to go! We be fast, and it be slow!"

Hey, cool! It makes sense Dan Ackroyd would be involved with this. The franchise was basically his baby.

Ah yes, Tobin's Spirit Guide. The Ghostbuster's Bible. Every 'buster worth their salt swears by it.

Playing as a ghost is actually a pretty cool idea. I know there are some who would love to give the Ghostbusters a bit of pain. I hope the game provides a wide variety of ghosts with various abilities that can test the Ghostbusters in a variety of ways.

Well, consider me excited. I have a PlayStation 4 that I could use a game or two for, so this seems like a good choice to start with.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer, My Thoughts

For nearly 40 years, Ghostbusters has been one of the most beloved franchises, spawning movies, cartoon series, books, and comics. It was announced in January 2019 that a new Ghostbusters movie that would follow up on the first two was in the works, directed by Jason Reitman (son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters movie). It was intended to be released last year, but it ended up delayed due to the pandemic. Let's look at the trailer!

Summerville. It's got a big rivalry with Wintertown a few miles over.

I think we got our Egon!

I love diners! Especially diner burgers.

Hey, Paul Rudd! This should be fun, then!

The old-school ghost trap! Looks like this is film is more directly linked to the first two movies. 

Annie Potts! I'm betting she's old Janine Melnitz.

The Ecto-1 is back, baby!

Yeah, it needs a coat of paint and a cleaning, but that's not an issue.

I'm betting this town has a dinosaur problem.

Okay, maybe not!

Hey, Mini-Stay Pufts! Ain't they cute?

Yeah, I'd been wondering if I was drunk, too.

Yeah, I bet there were Gozer worshippers here. 

That...that was Dan Ackroyd! And that was him as Ray! 

This was honestly kind of what I wanted in a new Ghostbusters movie. The idea of a torch being passed. It was kind of something I wished the 2016 film did, show us a passing of the torch. I do like the idea of this new generation of Ghostbusters fighting netherworldly menaces in a small Midwest town. Helps it feel fresh and different from the traditional city-based adventures of the originals. This film looks like it will be a lot of fun!

TMNT/Ghostbusters #1 (October 2014)

In 1984, two icons of pop culture debuted. Theaters showed the a little movie about a quartet of blue-collar paranormal investigators/eliminators. Meanwhile, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird created a little comic book about four anthropomorphic turtles trained in martial arts. The Ghostbusters and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had surprisingly quite a bit in common. Both groups operated in New York City, both groups had successful long-running cartoons, and they have both have had adventures with various media over the years, including comic books.

Also, both groups have had their fair share of crossovers over the years, particularly when IDW got the comic rights for them. The Ghostbusters were involved in the first Infestation crossover, battling zombies alongside the original Star Trek crew, the Transformers, and GI Joe. The Turtles would be involved in the second crossover, alongside an alternate version of the Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, GI Joe, and 30 Days of Night.

It wouldn't be until 2014 that these two groups would finally get to join forces for the first times. So, how did their first meeting go? Let's find out in TMNT/Ghostbusters #1!

The cover is a Dan Schoening piece, and it's pretty good. It's a bit basic, but it's good. I'd argue just seeing the Turtles and the Ghostbusters together is cool enough. What is interesting is how each Turtle and Ghostbuster is paired on the cover. Donatello and Egon make sense, as they're pretty much the brains of their groups. Leonardo and Winston are the serious fighters. Michelangelo and Ray are arguably the most kid-like. And then there's Raphael and Peter. Yeah, I don't see Peter as much of a hothead, but he and Raph do share a knack for cracking sarcastic jokes.

"Crossing the Divide"

Writers: Erik Burnham, Tom Waltz

Penciler: Dan Schoening, Charles Paul Wilson III, Cory Smith

Inker: Unknown

Colorists: Luis Antonio Delgado, Ronda Pattison

Letterer: Neil Uyetake

Editor: Bobby Curnow

The story begins with...a story. Long ago, powerful beings called immortals ruled the Earth...until they just up and vanished. Literally just decided to go disappear one day. These missing beings would go on to inspire many varied myths and legends, from the kitsune in Japan, to the Pied Piper of Hamlin in Europe. It seemed these immortals would never return. Yeah, never say never, folks.

We next look in on Japan during the Muromachi period. We look in on what appears to be a young woman trying to summon something. She senses someone nearby and demands he show himself. The woman is revealed to be a kitsune, the mischievous fox spirit of Japanese mythology. The man is her brother. He sensed the great power she was summoning, and he wanted to see if she was breaking some kind of agreement the two had made. She scoffs, as the man is so uptight about the rules. Someone then emerges from the portal.

Yup, it appears the Turtles' old sparring buddy Krang is up to something. The man, Chi-You, is infuriated. He believes Krang is a demon...and that the kitsune broke the agreement. You see, the two immortals had agreed to only use mortals as pawns in their games, not demons. He tries to punch her out, but she's able to dodge, and then judo throw him into the portal.

Krang assures the kitsune that thanks to the portal's safeguards, Chi-You won't be bothering her ever again. He gives her a device, asking her if the land he needs was cleared of humans. She had that taken care of. Everything's going to plan. We then next go across the Pacific Ocean, traveling a few hundred years into the future. In particular, we're going to modern day New York City, where the Heroes in a Half-Shell are looking over a portal device of their own.

The Turtles are joined by their longtime allies April O'Neil and Casey Jones. Also with them is Harold Lillja, a scientific colleague of Donatello's. April, Donnie, and Harold have been working on this transporter unit based on schematics from the Fugitoid robot. They think they got the bugs worked out, so they test it. How? By tossing an apple into the device...which ends up conking Casey on the back of the head.

It's nice little bit of humor. The Turtles want to use this thing for quick transportation. Like, to their underground lair to visit Splinter, perhaps? So, the Turtles, Casey, and April enter the portal. Unfortunately, Lillja is busy battling a fly. He manages to swat the fly, but ends up hitting the wrong switch.

Yeah, that's an oopsie right there. We then travel to New York City...an alternate New York City. Here, another heroic quartet are at work.

Yup, the Ghostbusters are hard at work busting ghosts. Because bustin' makes them feel good. The paranormal investigators/eliminators are after a rather nasty ghost: An ugly three-eyed purple thing. The 'Busters manage to catch the ghost, but Ray Stantz is a bit worried. A Class-Five ghost should not have been this difficult to capture. The only way that's possible if some sort of dimensional breach had happened.

Peter's not worried. After all, Ray and Egon built a gadget to detect such dimensional breaches, so it would be alerting them of something. And speak of the devil, they get a call from Janine Melnitz at the firehouse.

In case you're wondering, the Goth girl with Janine there is Kylie Grffin. As in, one of the four "next-generation" Ghostbusters in the Extreme Ghostbusters animated series. I liked that show. Kylie reports that there's a potential Class-Seven on the Eastside. The Ghostbusters naturally go check it out. Meanwhile, the Ninja Turtles arrive in a church on the Ghostbusters' world...in the middle of a wedding.

Chi-You then appears, but he's confused. He can't sense Kitsune or any other of his Immortal brethren. He also has found himself changed, like the travel through dimensions and the centuries in limbo has made him more powerful. The Turtles engage the Immortal, but his newfound ghostly nature makes their attacks ineffective. Chi-You thinks the Turtles are demons sent by Kitsune to recapture him. He's not going to let that happen again. Chi-You tries to blast the Turtles. They dodge it, but Casey gets hit...and he ends up not looking very well.

He needs some face cream. Chi-You has taken control of Casey Jones. And there's another benefit for the ghostly Immortal: He has access to Casey's mind, which allows him to learn about the Turtles...as well as learn how to speak English. And he's not the only one. The wedding guests have all fallen under Chi-You's control. The Immortal knows that The Turtles will try to stop him conquering the world, so he'll have his mortal minions tear them apart. After all, the Turtles will try to avoid harming innocent people.

Luckily for the heroes, a wall gets blown open, and we finally get to see the Ghostbusters and the TMNT meet up.

This comic is awesome. It really is. It's great seeing two icons of the 80s meet up like this. The usage of alternate dimensions is fitting as such a thing is native to both franchises' mythos. We do get a nice little glance of each of the heroes' basic personalities, which is neat. The comic does hint at some previous events in the comic, but as someone who hasn't read it, I did not feel lost. I liked the mention of Gozer. That was fun.

The book was drawn by three artists, but I saw no real indication of that. The art has a bizarrely cartoony vibe to me...which is kind of appropriate as both franchises have benefitted from animation. The only thing I find a bit "off" is the faces. The artists almost makes some of the human characters look like ducks.

If you want to read this for yourself, I recommend tracking down the 2015 trade paperback Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters. It's great mini, I highly recommend it. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other. Stay safe, stay healthy, wash your hands often, stay home, and wear a mask! Join me next time, when we join the Green Lantern Corps in the midst of a war...

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Launch Trailer, My Thoughts

In 2009, Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released for Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation Portable, and the Wii. The game was set around Thanksgiving in 1991, a couple of years after the events of the film Ghostbusters II. The game had all the original Ghostbusters reprise their roles: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and the late Harold Ramis. Other cast members from the films also appeared in the games, including William Atherton and Annie Potts.

Notably, the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows versions would be known as the "Realistic Versions" of the game because of their using character models that looked more like...well, real people. The Wii, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable version would be known as the "Stylized Versions" due to them having cartoonier graphics.

In the game, you play as a new member of the Ghostbuster team who helps test new ghost-eliminating technology as some of the old enemies of the Ghostbusters make their comeback. The game would be a critical success, but was mainly criticized for its length. The Windows version would get more mixed reviews due to lack of multiplayer and problems with its DRM. The game would go on to sell a million copies.

Last month, a Remastered version of the game, based on the "Realistic Version" has come out for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. Let's take a look!

Oooh, the game looks good already! I have this game for the Xbox 360, and it was a lot of fun. Not to mention it was awesome hearing the original four Ghostbusters one more time. Man, I miss Harold Ramis...

I love that song so much. Who ya gonna call?!

Yeah, that tombstone's going to leave a mark on that Ectomobile.

Ha ha, that ghost just took a proton stream to the FACE!

Stay Puft doing its best kaiju impression. I know everyone is excited for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong, but I want to see Stay Puft jump into that brawl.

God, shooting ghosts was so fun in this game! I'm happy it's come to the Switch. It can be played on the go now!

Man, some of those ghosts are ugly little spuds, aren't they?

As I said earlier, it was great hearing the original Ghostbuster team one last time.

Oh, this was awesome! I loved this game on the Xbox 360, and I am so happy that it's come to the Nintendo Switch! I can play it on the go! Yahoo! If you're a fan of Ghostbusters, get this game! It is so much fun!

Ghostbusters Trailer, My Thoughts

It's been known that a reboot film of the Ghostbusters franchise has been in the works. I gave my thoughts on the announcement of that already, so when I found out the trailer had dropped, I decided to give it a watch.

One of the first things I noticed was that the trailer said that four scientists saved New York thirty years ago. That made me scratch my head. Was this a sequel after all? Why would the trailer allude to the original four if this was a reboot? My confusion was furthered by the Wikipedia entry for the film, but since the cameo roles were unsourced, I decided to take it with a grain of salt.

The second thing I noticed was that we see three of the new Ghostbusters encountering a ghost in what looked like someone's private library. In case you didn't know, in the original film, the first real spectre the original Ghostbusters encountered was a female ghost in a public library. And it vomited on one of them. Okay.

Seeing Leslie Jones's scenes as Patty Tolan did concern me a bit. One thing I worried about with this film was that the new characters would not be unique characters in their own right, just simply the original four only female. To me, Tolan just seemed to be a female Winston Zeddemore. It made me sigh a bit. Come on, scriptwriters! You can do better than that! I get the concept of the archetype, but come on!

I did like seeing Slimer again. It was nice seeing him. And as for the new Ghostbusters' suits, I do like them. I know some people like to mock the orange and silver stripes, but they're meant to be reflective safety strips, like those worn by firefighters on their jacket, I think that's a nice touch. It's a clever idea. And the remix of the Ghostbusters theme was really good, I want that on my iPod.

I have to admit, the tech and effects were AWESOME. Seeing all the various ghosts flying around, and the one with the really long legs, that was so cool! And their proton packs?! I LOVE their proton guns! Melissa McCarthy's character appeared to have a glove that allowed her TO GIVE GHOSTS PHOTON-POWERED PUNCHES. THAT ROCKED! I get the feeling I will LOVE the final battle!

And I will admit, the bit at the end with Patty Tolan smacking the ghost out of Melissa McCarthy was funny. I laughed at that.

Do I honestly think it will be better than the original. Well, no, but really not by any fault of its own. The original film is considered a comedic classic and a must-watch film. Heck, it was added to the National Film Registry, because it is considered "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". That's right. This film was considered of preservation by the National Film Registry. How on Earth could anything follow THAT?! Even the original sequel (which I quite enjoy), was considered terrible in comparison.

I think at the very least, this will be a fun "turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy" flick. I'll give it a look. To all those people who scream that this ruined their childhoods, or this was an unnecessary thing, I say this: Just calm down. The original films and cartoons still exist.

If you want new adventures with the old team, IDW is doing COMICS with the original four Ghostbusters. In fact, they recently met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a rather fun crossover, pick up the trade if you see it. And nobody is going to be FORCING you to watch this movie. If it really bothers you that much, just don't talk about it and don't go see it. Plain and simple. This film is not going to ruin your life, and your childhood is far from ruined.

My Thoughts on Ghostbusters 3

Well, it has been confirmed. Ghostbusters 3 is coming. Now, not much has been revealed about the new film, whether it's going to be a sequel or a reboot of the franchise. As such, I don't have a whole lot to say about it.



To be honest, I'm hoping that the new film is a continuation of the series rather than a reboot. To me, a reboot is something that to me the Ghostbusters franchise does not really need. It's a franchise that really doesn't need rejuvenation like the Star Trek franchise did. Not to mention that recent attempts at reboots and remakes, like Robocop, didn't exactly work out very well.


Another thing that has seemed to cause a lot of anger for some reason as far as I understand is that the new Ghostbusters will all be female. I don't really see a problem with this myself. It's not like we haven't seen women wear the proton packs before. In The Real Ghostbusters, Janine Melnitz herself donned the proton pack herself. In the sequel cartoon Extreme Ghostbusters, one of the "next generation" 'Busters was a Goth teen named Kylie Griffin, who is also now appearing in the IDW comics. The game Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime (a game I enjoyed personally) had a female Ghostbuster named Bridget Gibbons. There are a lot of genuinely great funny women out there, so I can see an all-female team working out on film. I would be genuinely disappointed if Tina Fey wasn't in this movie, though. She'd be a great Egon-type.


I would love to see the third film have more of a "passing-the-torch" theme to it, which a continuation would allow. Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore (Since Murray won't get involved, I'll say that he's not available, and since Harold Ramis is sadly no longer with us, I'll have to say that Egon is also deceased), realize that age is catching up to them, and decide to recruit a new team of Ghostbusters to do the actual legwork. However, only four applicants show up: four women with their own quirks and wacky personalities. You can get the humor from the surviving Original 'Busters training the rookies, and after one big epic adventure saving the city once again, Ray and Winston hang up the proton packs for good, letting the ladies be the defenders of New York against the supernatural.


Yup, that's how I'd do it.
