Erik revealed the main story will be the original 4 GBs vs. IDW version of the Sandman. Don’t expect the look to match the RGB version – similar to the situation with Boogieman and Rodefhiri.
There will be several back up stories by guest artists. So far one about Janine and one about Louis.
In terms of background on the back up revealed so far: They were outtakes from “World of the Psychic,” featured in Ghostbusters II. They will be one panel gags that show why Peter Venkman eventually quit the show. It was set up as a single four page back up story set up as a clip show gag.
It’s weirdly appropriate that a guy named Matt Smith has also done the art for a bunch of Doctor Who stories starring the Eleventh Doctor. (And some Tenth Doctor before that, but his name isn’t David Dow Tennant so that’s less funny)
And I’m sure I’m the first person in human history to say that, too. :lol:
November solicits are out and we got the Annual’s info. Out August 18 tentatively for $7.99.
Nice nod to the end of Get Real I imagine.
Lot’s of great movie and EGB nods on the regular cover! Also, Joe Quinones is doing the Subscription Cover it seems. Item Codes are SEP150403 and SEP150404.
Based on that bullet point, seeding Volume 3 I suppose. Hmm, Erik already hinted at using an old German story and the infamous evil Sandman story was by E.T.A. Hoffman. In that, it talked about how Sandman fed his progeny the eyes he took.
I was lucky enough to meet up with Erik Burnham at Crypticon in Minneapolis this past weekend and he showed me some of the World of the Psychic panels. Very cool and I am pretty excited to see the annual now!
