I don’t know what Paul Fieg’s recent announcement will mean for IDW and it’s licenses. Right now the movie’s still in pre-pre production (literally they are talking about going into pre-production), but if it ever moves past that, someone somewhere is going to have to make a choice.
So I just wanted to say, for myself, that given a choice between a new movie and a 3rd volume of the ongoing… I’d rather have the ongoing. I support Dan, Erik, Luis, Tom, and Tristan, and I… wish hope pray all that stuff… that somehow, someone somewhere finds a way to keep letting them do what they do.
Are there any plans for a third volume? Outside the occasional mini or something?
I don’t see how a new movie puts a third volume of the comic in any kind of jeopardy. If anything we might see more interest in comics, cartoons, toys, etc.
New York Comic Con is this week and Friday is IDW’s big panel. Around 4:15 to 5 pm in Room 1a14. I imagine that’s when they would talk about Ghostbusters and/or the TMNT cross over. If not, hopefully an audience member will ask.
Also, back in August, Tristan Jones did reveal he was up for a 6 or so issue mini-series.
So it sounds like for the time being, IDW is thinking mini-series until the roller coaster known as Ghostbusters III stabilizes again.
I think that all gbfans community should email a joint message, showing our number, with signature or sending single email, to the IDW for a Vol. 3. I think that it would be more noticed if we move together for that.
We should work on something, I want a third volume!
