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.

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.

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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ghostbusters-ii-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.
