Some of the best episodes of the original cartoon had the guys reaching a solution through the absence of their regular equipment.
My initial reaction from the five-page PDF preview that was recently released left me in a degree of trepidation. The cartoon had established the idea that Ray was a comic nerd, so the concept laid down in Con-volution is a familiar one… but I admit, I found Ray’s… ferocity a tad abbrasive… that such a happy-go-lucky guy seemed to become a bit of a “comic jerk”, that being said… I can relate to that very conduct, in both my own toing and froing, and in documented cases at other conventions.
Other bits that led to my feeling were the aforementioned line of Egon’s during the panel… and Winston asking if Bancroft drew “brothers”.
I admit that although I bought the comic online after reading the preview, I was torn about the few issues that stood out to me.
I’m pleased to say despite that though, after getting to read the full story, that I enjoyed it. The guys in Ghostbusters costumes was equal parts amusing as it was genius. Seeing as such a thing had been utilised for one of the covers for the story, we probably should’ve known it’d somehow be worked into the story. The comedy in that is definitely due to how many of us take part in it… an intentional ribbing at our part. Well played.
And the dollar figure isn’t that far off from the real thing, really. 
Egon’s taunting of Bancroft’s spirit nicely ties into something that’s been established for a while with ghosts, their being tied to strong emotional states… and Bancroft’s ego must be considerable.
Peter and Winston’s confrontation obviously never stood a chance, but was an amusing diversion… although our prop replicas on the whole hold together much better than the one Venkman was saddled with
Aside from a few bits, the story, and especdially characterisation werre good. The series started rocky, but IDW have chosen well since then with selecting their creative teams. I admit that the art isn’t my preffered style, but I still enjoyed Mr. Howard’s work, whereas previous one-shots in this series have been criticized for not making Ray and Venkman unique enough from each other, each buster here is clearly differentiated, yet still recognisable, and the equipment is accurate enough.
Oh, and that scene with Egon and the pencil? Nice work on Egon’s reaction, and subsequent “facepalm”.
The only remaining gripe I have, is the use of “Ectomobile” over “Ecto-1”… Trivial, I know… but hey, I’m a comic jerk. 
Nice work guys.
