I second that, SC! A new GB comic sounds awesome... I'll pick up the first ish and see where it goes. I loved the movies and the original cartoon. Hope the new comics won't disappoint.

It won't, trust me

This is just one more thing added to this "80s revival". First the announcement of a new Robocop comic, and now this! Can't wait for either of them!

Can anybody tell me why Winston is overlooked whenever possible? Who makes that decision? I doubt it's for racist reasons, but probably because Ernie Hudson is the only non-comedian and/or well-known actor that joined the main cast (with the possible exception of the mayor). But, Winston was the character that kept the movie from being too goofy and retarded like Ghostbusters 2 ended up achieving anyway. But, he was left out of the Sega and NES video games for the first movie. When the cartoon mentioned a movie of them being made, they mentioned Murray, Aykroyd & Ramis, but not Hudson. Plus, Ernie Hudson was the last to be contacted for the sequel or the the never-produced 3rd movie that Aykroyd attempted to make in '99. They even had Will Smith lined up for the new guys, so I doubt it was ever an issue of race.

Hrmm.. can't help ya there much dude. Been out of the GB bracket since the 90's.

But wow... this comic also sounds gret. I think I may just go on another comic over load here, what with all these cool titles coming out. And I have very little money to spend...

Erhmm.. not familiar with those names, but I imagine they'll do a good job.

gobo-jo: To be honest, I see Winston as just a minor supporting role to be added as the buffer that which you speak of. Hence, no real emphasis is put on him.

I looked up their names on Google and saw some samples of their work and I'm sure it'll be a fantastic comic.
