Returning to Winston in Vegas, we're treated to more amusing scenes of the chaos that can happen when a lone Ghostbuster is sent up against a pesky spook.
The mystery with the ghost ship deepens, and soon we're learning who may very well be the prime motivator behind the haunting... and for once, Venkman appears willing to do a little detective work with Kylie's research.
With the ghost in Vegas caught, Winston is given another great opportunity to use his new legal prowess to lay a verbal smack-down on a pompous hotel manager (hey, you're not a fully-fledged Ghostbuster until you've put a stingy Hotel manager in their place). With appropriate warnings issued, and the Ghost trapped, Winston is now able to go and grab a well-deserved massage.
Peter's hunch pays off, and is a nice opportunity to show that he's a lot smart than he looks... with the spectral element resolved, the ghost ship departs... and all in time for Halloween... erm, wait a minute...
The story is then finished with part two of the Rookie & Ron story, which is quickly becoming a favourite back-up piece.
The Ghost Ship plot gave us a pleasant historical haunting, like the Wander Hills Orphanage haunting from the early run of the monthly series, but less fictional. It presented us with one of the new team dynamics of Ray, Peter and Kylie, and made a special effort of focusing on how research can help with resolving the haunting at hand.
The story also gave the comic team the opportunity to make use of Marine Ecto-8/Ecto-H20 from the videogame, which is always fun.
The Vegas plot helped give a bit more expansion and screen-time to Winston, who has thankfully been playing a very prominent part in the comic compared to the movies. Once again showing that Winston has his own smarts that he can put to use, he is as every inch a full member of the team as the other three Ghostbusters... and that he is now becoming a considerable asset on the legal side of things. It's only a pity this arc was resolved so quickly, but such is the way with it being the B-story.
All in all, another fun read in a title that has cemented its place and its structure. Now I'm looking forward to the rest of the Horror Days arc.
