I love hearing that Joe Medjuck was heavily involved! This can’t be on my shelf fast enough.
Very excited for this, sounds excellent from the video. Can’t wait to see the newly unearthed design docs. The confirmation of the cel choices make the deluxe a pass for me, though the Firehouse cover and sleeve is VERY nice.
Anyway, pump this to my veins.
Yeah, I can’t justify spending that amount of cash on the deluxe - but the standard edition is an absolute must for me. Especially after the video.
A few more pages:
I pre-ordered the Deluxe, solely for the cover and clip case design. Gorgeous design!
More pages previewed.
That fish-eye lense shot of the Empire State Building is striking… I wonder what episode that was going to be used in.
The Goopa Cola one could’ve been the original concept for “Yupi Water” in Standing Room Only, while the gothic village with the castle is either Transylvania Homesick Blues or My left Fang.
Yes! I was wondering if that was the Empire State Building. But it wasn’t used for any high rise+maelstrom in the sky shot I could remember like Robo-Buster’s Grossjuck Plaza or Raganarok and Roll’s Karstick Building.
Gothic village was definitely the former. I remember the fountain from Boldavia.
Agreed, I was also thinking Goopa Cola became Yuppie Water.
Gotta say, that fire truck would have been freakin’ awesome.
There’s only four episodes I can think of that the ESB concept art might’ve been for, either Troll Bridge for the scene set there, Ragnarok and Roll (later replaced by the fictional Carstairs Building), Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster (later replaced by the fictional Erie Building), or The Boogieman is Back (later replaced by the Twin Towers).
The only other possibility is maybe the Empire State was going to serve as inspiration for Tummel’s skyscraper… But yeah, would love to know the story behind that artwork. 
The Fire Truck certainly would’ve been an interesting addition to the toy line.
That shot of the high rise does match up fairly well.
2 vehicles that would have cool to have seen Dan Schoening and Luis Antonio Delgado taken a crack at integrating into the IDW run, lol.
Pre ordered the Deluxe Set. Cant wait for that.
Craig set up pre-orders if anyone wants a signed copy of either edition.
That was quick! The deluxe edition is now listed as sold out. :o
Bummer. They were probably just using however many advance copies too likely a limited amount. But they’re going to attempt a signing around Comic Con, too. I mean, really if you bump into them at an convention.
There will be a signing at Things From Another World on CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood on July 12 from 4 to 6 pm. In addition to Craig and Troy, Laura Summer, Dan Riba, and Eric Reich will also be there.
Amazon have dispatched my copy to arrive by…
next Tuesday 8th July.
Yet if I order to a new copy today it will be delivered tomorrow.
Go figure. Guess I’ll wait. Thanks, Bezos.
I ordered one today, said July 8th
YHS posted its July schedule and there’s one out the ordinary, a livestream with both YHS and Interdimensional Crossrip Podcast on July 9. Undoubtedly for them to promote and talk about this book and its release.
And they have a book signing at July 25 the week of SDCC but the details are still being ironed out.
Got my copy of this book on its way. Looking forward to reading it the near future. Cannot wait to see what new things about The Real Ghostbusters it covers.
Should be reading this in 4 hours time! I plan to devour the whole thing this evening, cannot wait!
