Niiice, very nice! Although I do feel sorry for Winston. Why must the three nerds get all the credit?

The Lone Turtle · 05-16-2003, 09:39 PM

I hope they do a better job than they did with the Transformer one. I know it wasn't entirely their fault (something about the printers) but, there is much disgust in the Transfan community about it

Anyway, I can't wait to get all this stuff

The Ghostbusters are back !
June 09, 2003

Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore return this fall in a new comic book series from 88MPH Studios, and they’re bringing along their unlicensed nuclear accelerators, classic 1959 Cadillac and off-beat supporting cast.

Picking up where the first movie left off, the comic seeks to recapture the magic that made Ghostbusters the greatest science fiction comedy of all time, with stories that will excite and entertain while appealing both to newcomers and longtime fans of the franchise.

Beginning with THE ZEDDEMORE FACTOR, the story of Winston’s first night as a Ghostbuster, and continuing in the four part tale LEGION, which pits the guys against an enemy from their distant past, the series will run the gamut from big action and broad comedy, to supernatural horror and heartfelt character pieces.

Like they say in Sweden, SVEET!

Picking up where the first movie left off? Why not the second?

*Jephael* · 06-19-2003, 07:52 PM

I guess not too many people liked the sequal. I kinda liked it, but that pink goop wasn't as cool as Stay Puff Marshmallow Man!

~~Reznorite420~~ · 06-19-2003, 07:54 PM

Ah yes, Puffy was honored as one of the greatest "virtual" actors of all time according to the 2003 MTV movie awards...sweetness! (no pun intended)

The person responsible for this comic, Sebastion Clavet, felt the 2nd movie was kaka so he decided it wasn't going to be canon in the new comic.

*Skeletoncrew* · 06-19-2003, 11:44 PM

Ooooooohhh...I'm willing to give the Ghostbusters comic a try!

Ghostbusters was one of my favorite movies as a child, and I've found that it only got funnier when I grew up. I now "get" a lot of the things that went over my head when I was a wee tyke.
