On September 8, 2015 I wrote that Amazon added new information, (which I included and will again) about what Insight Editions Tobin’s Spirit Guide (Ghostbusters Inc. Tobin’s Spirit Guide) will be about.

With November coming to an end and turkeys breathing a sigh of relief Insight Editions and Amazon have gave ghostheads a first look as the Tobin’s Spirit Guide (abridged) cover.Read More »

IDW Publishing Ghostbusters International Comics

Spengs1 Comment

agbintcomicoverIDW Publishing Ghostbusters comic news out of the recent New York Comic Con.

It was announced (um probably at NYCC) that IDW will publish international adventures of the comic Ghostbusters.

The title will appropriately be named Ghostbusters International.

As a guy who once owned and paid way too much for the domain name I wish this part of the comic series had been around over the last decade.

The basic premise of Ghostbusters International comics is that the established Ghostbusters will be dealing with international  ghosts at there respective international locations.

Perhaps as early as Issue #1 we’ll also see new Ghostbusters to probably handle business in America.

Comic Book Resources interviewed Erik about Ghostbusters International.

I’m an eyewitness, anybody want to interview me? 😀

Ghostbusters International Issue #1 will be available in January 2016.

IDW To Publish Ghostbusters Annual 2015

Spengs8 Comments

When I think Ghostbusters annuals, I tend to think about the two The Real Ghostbusters annuals (Ghostbusters Firehouse) and don’t usually think of newer Ghostbusters specials. While I’m a guardian of The Real Ghostbusters comics, (Ghostbusters Firehouse) I’m not always as connected to IDW Ghostbusters comics. Or most comics for that matter. :/

Erik Burnham, after being asked posted that a 2015 Ghostbusters annual should go on sale this coming November. After a different follow up question about the story, Erik replied:

The main feature (art by Dan & Luis) will primarily feature the original four and an appearance by our version of the sandman (he won’t be a cloaked figure putting people to sleep!)

But there will also be several backups – mostly one pagers – with art by a variety of other artists. Expect these to focus on other characters. Just wrote one with Janine, as a matter of fact, and Louis is on the docket as well.

If you’re interested let’s continue checking out what’s known about this annual. Trust me, this is more fun for you to read. 😀Read More »

Tobin’s Spirit Guide (Abridged) To Be Published From Insight Editions

West End Games, Inc. published Tobin’s Spirit Guide (for use with Ghostbusters™ A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game) during Ghostbusters’ infancy.

During the internet age ghostheads have been making fan made versions which can encompass more then the films and the original RPG books. What can be included is unnaturally personal preference. Like this one (GB Inc. Blog Post, January 26, 2015) from Italian ghosthead Joe Nonostante. His version of Tobin’s clocks in at 496 pages!

With the release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game during Ghostbusters 25th anniversary Prima Games published a thorough game book which contains a Tobin’s Spirit Guide section.

While people with notable connections have tried to get a license to create such an official labor of love, it wasn’t in Spate’s Catalog. Or so it seemed.Read More »

IDW Ghostbusters Ongoing To Resume

On June 18, 2014 (GB Inc. Blog Post) I wrote about IDW would discontinue publishing monthly Ghostbusters comics. While ghostheads wouldn’t have another years worth of Ghostbusters comics their would be mini-series. That’s cool, definitely better then no new Ghostbusters comics.

Not even a month later IDW Publishing announced (GB Inc. Blog Post, July 15, 2014) the first series, a Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cross over. When our childhoods collide. So turtles mutated from ooze met up with guys who deal with slime. With the conclusion in Issue #4 (GB Inc. Blog Post, October 26, 2014) what would be next adventure for our Ghostbusters?Read More »
