Well, I for one hope a new movie will be a new crew of Ghostbusters with Ray and Winston (played by Dan And Ernie) there in a ‘teacher’ capacity, at least for the first new film. I’m not really interested in a remake. There are far too many of them these days, and it just smacks of unoriginality. Just continue in the original continuity and give us a good story. For the most part, even people who weren’t born when the original films came out know who and what the Ghostbusters are, and have seen the original films.
Filmakers don’t give people enough credit these days.
And yeah, Kingpin. I agree with your Capaldi/Doctor Who points. I was rolling my eyes when ppl started complaining about Capaldi taking over, and sadly, I totally saw it coming. As a fan of Doctor Who from way back during Tom Baker’s run on the show, I can safely say that Capaldi is going to ROCK as the Doctor.
I just picked up Total Containment today. I recommend that. It’s the first 16 issues in one collection. Even includes a pretty cool introduction from Ernie Hudson.
Are ■■■■■■■■ fans that serious about continuity? I consider myself a ■■■■■■■■ Ghostbuster fan (I mean my first car was a Cadillac ambulance for god’s sake) and I could not care less whether the stories held to the video game or not, or the cartoon (much as I love it). As long as the basic stuff is there and the stories are well written, Slimer could be their buddy when it makes sense and a pest when it fits the story and I’d be okay.
I have no idea about the book in this image from Volume 2, Issue 9 
It could be possible that the Icon Ghost has an autobiography 
Picked up IDW’s Ghostbusters Omnibus, Vol 1 today with a $5 discount! I’m on holiday break so I’ll get to finish it. I’ll probably pick up Total Containment next. Cool frickin’ design and hardcover! Bit expensive though.
Finished the omnibus! I really enjoyed it. To be honest, I enjoyed The Other Side. Sure conceptually, it’s bland but still enjoyed the dialogue from the guys. My least favorite story was actually Displaced Aggression. I thought the whole time traveling/different dimensions stuff worked better in the video game.
Absolutely loved the last story Past, Present, and Future. Classic GB story with all four of them, dialogue was spot on, and I loved the spooky element of Artie being the ghost the whole time. Not to mention the accuracies of the Navy/Charcoal uniforms.
