Ghostbusters monthly: vol 1

Hey guys, I found this on Amazon the other day.

Its a collection of the monthly comics (when they stop im not sure) rolled into one book.

Its only for pre-order right now but give it a few months.

I couldnt find any mention on this in the monthly thread but if so do forgive me.

There was talk of it, but I did not know it was out. That is really cheap though.

I saw this at powells. Looks cool.

Venkman’s foot on that cover bugs the heck out of me… Worse than bug eyes!

It is the first four issues of the ongoing. A LAST MINUTE decision to keep the PCOC stuff in the first volume (because it supports the main storyline so well) but none of the other backup stuff will be there. (We had talked about an exclusive story for the trade, but Dan was too busy with an upcoming arc to divert time to it. It’s his story idea, so we’d rather he draw it.) (;

Just before Thanksgiving, Mr. Burnham tweeted about it. Then he and Mr. Jones noted last month the forward was written by Brian Clevinger. Over in the other thread, Burnham also noted

Bummer, would have been a good draw for sales. But perhaps it’ll be for the best.

I also recently found out 5 issues would bump up the price of the trade, so who knows if I’m right or wrong?

I just be speculating. (:

It would have?.. sign of the times perhaps. So this unused story would have been another 20 pages or so?

Comparing the Displaced Aggression and Haunted Holidays trades, they were the same price of $17.99 and four issues but Haunted Holidays had the exclusive story by James Eatock and Dan Schoening (9 pages).

Then again, once you throw Amazon into the mix… that MSRP gets neutronized real quick.

I’d pay more for the 5th story.
