TA has been put up on the Iphone Apps lists. I downloaded it last night. I liked it!

[spoiler]The characters were much closer than some of the prior incarnations. Unlike was suggested, they do not end up in Valentines, though it does make for a neat picture. The production for the arm packs, and their subsequent failure was also done very nicely. I know that was something several were talking about before - if we upgrade or build new packs - then why would they keep the [old ones](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/old-one)? 🙂 Because the little ones couldn’t get the job done. I also like how the comic was able to take a slight jab at itself. After Winston discusses the situation with the main villan and the ghost dissapates on its own, Venkman says “That was anticliamtic. We didn’t even get to blast it.” But it didn’t leave the reader high and dry on proton action either because of the first scene with the bust at the gym.

All around well done. I think we’re continually going in the right direction with these comics.[/spoiler]

It’s not on Diamond’s release list for next week (2/10) as of yet. If it doesn’t end up on it by Monday, it starts to look like it’s actually gonna miss Valentines Day.

🆒 --Bummer

Daimond’s “Upcoming Releases” lists have been innaccurate before, so don’t give up home yet.

[Dara Naraghi](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/publications/comics/dara-naraghi), writer and publisher for Ferret Press. She doesn’t seem to have as large a career under her belt as [Scott Lobdell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/publications/comics/scott-lobdell), but I look forward to seeing her take on the franchise.

She’s probably really happy to hear that, but fyi, she’s a Dude 😉

a status update on the comic from the writer:

> [@Loki5](#):
>
> Hey guys, Dara here. I just found out the scoop on this book’s erratic ship date. Apparently what made it miss the original ship date for the week of Valentine’s Day is that it got held up in customs. But here’s where the story takes a tragic twist: it is officially hitting stores this week (17th), except for most of the East coast. The truck from Diamond Distributors that had all of IDW’s books on it for the East coast stores was involved in a very bad weather-related accident. My understanding is that the driver(s) are in critical condition in the hospital.

> So needless to say, it’s a very unfortunate event and I hope that everyone involved pulls through and makes a full recovery.

I’ll probably be known as a jerk here, but I just read it and I have to say, it’s not the best of the bunch.

The story was ok. I liked the fact it wasn’t a giant something or other destroying the city, just a simple job.

My only real complaint was some of the art. It was hard to tell between Pete and Ray half the time until Ray put his goggles on.

The ink job seemed really large a lot of the time. Like when you set the “posterize” elements on Photoshop too high.

Nice to see Winston getting the spotlight though.

All in all, I have to give it a 2 out of 5.

I liked it, it was nice to finally have a Winston-centric story, and the new packs which were somewhat of a reference to the original wand blasters idea was really cool, kinda wanna make some now..

Finally picked mine up today. Headed home to read it soon. Glad to here Winston has the spotlight. That gives it a bit of a twist. I also agree that it is cool if the enemy is not a giant one but just average sized. Not every bad guy has gotta be Stay Puft!!!
