IDW to publish new Ghostbusters comic series? Looks like...

Yes, I swore too - and I think I peed a little.

Can’t wait to hear more about this

Holy!..

Ok seriously, between the video game, the cartoon on dvd, the manga, the movies on blue ray, and now this…either my wife is going to kill me in October, or she already did and I am in heaven. lol

: P

In all seriousness wow. : ) When it rains it pours. Bring it on, I’ll get a boat. : )

Ditto. What else is on the horizon??

:smiley:

I haven’t been in to comics for awhile, but I’m assuming IDW isn’t another 88MPH?

They definitely are not. They publish other series such as GI Joe, Star Trek and Transformers, and have been doing it for years, too.

I’m guessing this was the big anouncement? Wait, that was Sony Home Entertainment. Hmmm. Must be the blu-rays, then.

Nope, these guys don’t post on forums as any obscure food name.

As commented on PC: Sebastien Clavet rolls in his future grave.

Merchandising! Merchandising!

Where the real money from the movie is made. Ghostbusters: the T-shirt, Ghostbusters: the coloring book, Ghostbusterss: the lunch box, Ghostbusters: the breakfast cereal, Ghostbusters: the FLAMETHROWER–the kids love this one–

:smiley:

Heh, I love it.

The 88MPH guy must really be steamed. One of the most hated fan based comic companies in existence and now this announcement ;). Considering he was clearly un-prepared for the huge licenses given to him, it only serves him right :).

But that was one of my first concerns, also. If Sony didn’t do their home work by giving the license to 88mph, what would make IDW any more qualified? Apparently people actually LIKE this company..

If there really is a Sony announcement, the only thing LEFT is either a new series, or CGI GB3 :slight_smile:

Something else is the big announcement, although well done on IDW for being able to keep it a secret until preview day. :slight_smile:

Hopefully we’ll see some preview images soon.

And I love the fact that they actually seem to LOOK like the actors.

Aykroyd looks like he did back in the first movie..

Wait… I just thought of something.. do you think we’ll get refunded for the other catastrophe yet?

Probably not.

this must be the year of the ghostbuster because they are just giving us everything we wanted. games, movies, media. I hope action figures come out too. Im gonna have to get a couple more jobs to pay for all this shit

I wonder how much ‘convincing’ IDW had to do to Sony after the Sebastian fiasco.

I don’t think as much, IDW has a history of taking tv and movie franchises and making them into hit comics there Buffy and Angel series sells great as well as their Star Trek books all of which take place after there tv shows ended. I am very confident of IDW and haven’t been let down by them yet. :cool:

OH MAN! This is shaping up to be an AWESOME year for us Ghostbusters fans. I cannot wait to hear more about this. I hope this becomes an ongoing comic series. Hopefully they do a lot better the 88MPH did. Don’t get me wrong. I loved those comics. They just weren’t exactly very good with business. Man, this is exciting! October is going to be Ghostbusters month! LOL!

So, I’ve been reading up on all the old posts, and now I’m getting a bit confused.

So, the BIG announcement is going to be today, and the Comic WAS the BIG announcement?

Just want to be 100% sure on this, as different posts say different things :slight_smile:

THanks :slight_smile:

The comic isn’t the big announcement, technically speaking the comic hasn’t been announced at all.

w00t :cool:

Can’t wait to hear more about this. IDW is an amazing company that definitely knows horror and should do this comic some definite justice. In fact, Ben Templesmith (artist for 30 Days of Night and Dark Days) had done an alternate cover for the Legion “hardcover” that never was.
