Real Ghostbusters Omnibus Volume 1

It’s The Real Ghostbusters, ladies and gentlemen, and in this first volume omnibus collection you can score issues #1-14 of the classic NOW Comics series. Be there as Ray, Peter, Egon, and Winston keep doing what they do. After all, they ain’t afraid of no ghosts!

Ghostbusters Minicomic Bundle 2012

First time in print! A long-dead gangster is terrorizing Times Square, wreaking horrific havoc on a building that once housed a spirited speakeasy. But the place is now a toy store, and when the ghostly gangster starts shooting ectoplasmic bullets at terrified patrons, the Ghostbusters - Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston - are called in to nab the speakeasy spook! Written by Brian Lynch (Angel, Spike, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and illustrated Marcelo Mueller (Lady Death, Aliens), Ghostbusters: Time Scare! serves as a hauntingly hilarious gateway into IDW’s smash-hit line of Ghostbusters comics!

Written by Brian Lynch, Art by Marcelo Mueller. Due September 26th, 2012.

All are available from the Ghostbusters Fans Shop. And don’t forget to pre-order your copies of Ghostbusters #11 and #12!

Oh wow, it’s nice to see Now’s old comic series getting a revival after so long. That’s definitely going to be a must-have for anyone who hasn’t been able to collect the original comics.

The mini-comic also sounds like an interesting addition to the Ghostbusters world. At that price, it’s worth investigating.

3

so are they just reprinting the original NOW Real Ghostbusters comics? I thought we were getting a whole new series. still, kind of cool, I will probably order them from the gbshop.

4

If people buy a lot of them, who know? I doubt it will happen, but a guy can dream. I think I’d be happy if they sold well enough for a Vol. 2 with the rest of issues 15-28.

5

That’s the plan!

6

I plan on buying them for sure.

7

So this minicomic Time Scare! by Bryan Lynch is a new story set in the IDW Comics canon?

Being mainly focused on RGB I enjoy the NOW comics will be printed again. This opens for a possibility that this is a check if there still is interest and ultimately something new being produced. Not that I need it to get it because of the content, got the full run, but anything contemporary brings hope..

I agree with what you said. But don’t sell the current IDW series short; while the characters are drawn in the now-usual “Kinda like the movie actors but not close enough to get sued” style, the artist has a great deal of love for the cartoon and packs them with in-jokes, including a character in #8 who’s a dead ringer for EGB Egon. And in #5-7, the kid who gets possessed has Jeremy and Cindy from “Ragarok and Roll” as parents.

And heck, the “Who Killed Laura Parr?” backup stories currently running feature a likeness of Venkman that looks a lot more like RGB Venkman than Bill Murray’s third cousin.

But as I said recently, I’d love a single issue or one-shot illustrated in full RGB style.

Why do you neeed them? :boogieman:

11

I cant agree with that more.

12

I need these!!
