My response to this news:
Read my fan fiction at: http://www.gbfans.com/fans/fiction/crossovers/16588/tmnt-meets-the-ghostbusters/
Erik Burnham talks about the mini in this interview - hints about the villain, who’s appearing, and talks a bit more how the Turtles end up in the GB-verse
Hmm sounds interesting. Im not familiar with the IDW turtles universe.
I’m only catching up on the IDW TMNT comics; I already seen most of the Mirage comics. 
Yeah, I have zero knowledge of IDW TMNT. But I grew up watching the Fred Wolf TV show, read the Archie run - wondered what happened to the Forever War for decades, read Mirage Vol. 1 and 2, read the Image run, and saw the 4 movies. So I think I have a funcitonal knowledge of the franchise but I would think they would explain continuity from the TMNT series in a way GB–only fans can jump right in and understand what’s going on or milk it they become so desperate they begin buying TMNT comics. :walterpeck:
Star Wars! :lol: Wow, Star Wars, Ninja Turtles and GB together, that would be cool. Seriously, Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters are the best personal favourite franchises that could happen together providing it’s done right. So here’s hoping.
nice, epic even
@ referring to bold
I was gonna say Transformers as my third guess, but you pretty much have the better idea. Still, each franchises are awesome in their own right.
I say a GB/Transformers crossover would be best.
Previews posted an interview with Tom Waltz and Erik Burnham and offer some hints of what to expect

I contacted my local comic shop and asked if they would be getting any subscription covers and he said he wasn’t aware of this crossover and because the Ghostbusters series is being cancelled, they are less likely to order as many issues. 
If you’ve got a standing order and you tell them that you want that cover, they pretty much HAVE to do it. I’m shocked that they weren’t aware. Does he not look at the magazine ALL retailers get? The ones they actually ORDER their stock from?
I know of two comic book stores near me. One is run by two deaf people who’ve never quite gotten around to giving me an actual “pull list” or sending me e-mails when my new issues come in or pulling sub comics or ANYTHING…and I have a hard time asking them why, for obvious reasons.
BUT they do have the book + sub covers sitting on their shelves, so I’ve been able to just pick them up and walk out of the store. I don’t care much as long as I get my comics.
The other one didn’t even seem to know there WAS a Ghostbusters comic book, despite it’s large collection of IDW stuff. Or at least, when I asked them if they had it, they looked at me like I had two heads and said, “No, we don’t have any of that. We don’t carry it.” Me: “Well…can you order it?” Him: “Well… maybe if you talk to the owner. He’ll be here after six.” (it was 1pm).
So THEY clearly didn’t want my money. Oh well.
Plan B is always Amazon. But I’d like to support local business first, if I possibly can. I’ll GET that Turtles comic, mark my words…

Hmm…good question. I guess I don’t actually have a standing order. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. I’m a comic newbie. I just go in every month and pick up the latest issue.
Yeah, it’s dead in the water unfortunately. I found out who actually had the rights to do it, and we looked at doing it, but they couldn’t make it happen. Same sort of thing with IDW. To do it properly would cost more than it’s likely to make back. It’s just too niche a product.
Yeah, that’s important. It’s pretty much what keeps comics like this alive, so if there are comics you want. Go in and tell them you want to start a standing order. That was pretty much the only way people could get any of my RGB covers unless they had a really good (or alternatively, weirdly organised) shop.
Interesting. Yeah, I was actually able to snag a few of your RGB covers. I just called and asked if they’d be able to reserve any for me. It seems like the series sold well for them. Once or twice, they sold out before I even got to the store on the day of release. I ended up having to drive to another shop on the other side of town. I’m kinda surprised the clerk never mentioned a standing order since I came in every month and he put several incentive/alternative covers on hold for me.
Yeah, having a standing order pretty much guarantees you’ll get what you want and it also helps keep our sales figures up. Which are pretty much what keeps comics alive.
I’m no expert but considering the many different ways people consume their comics, that does not seem like the most efficient way to do it… I mean, it measures things by how many people have already said they want the comic, not how many will actually buy it. And it doesn’t allow for any kind of trial period. What if you pick up a comic randomly, read a few issues, think it’s ok but aren’t sure if you want to keep reading?
I feel like there’s gotta be a better way to do it somehow.
Just tell them to take it off your list. Don’t overthink everything.
Tristan is right. It helps stores know how many are sold on day 1 and then they order their shelf copies. It’s not like it’s set in stone forever.
