Well, that wasn’t such a chore, now, was it? With a little help from another dimension or two, the Ghostbusters seem to be on pace to put paid to their present paranormal problem! Except this is only Part 3, which might mean bad news for the boys and girls in gray! Crossing Over, a celebration of all things Ghostbusters, continues here!

So I am little intrigued on how in issue 3 of an 8 part mega event the crisis that our heroes are currently dealing with is just about dealt with. It really shouldn't suprise me too much given how many Ghostbusters are helping with the problem, but if a dimensional breach of the containment unit isn't the MAIN crisis in this event what is?

I am excited. :):):)

Well I am intrigued on the fact that only 3 issues in, the crisis is almost averted. I suppose it shouldn't suprise me given how many Ghostbusters are on duty. Makes me wonder if an dimensional breach of the containment unit isn't the Major Crisis in this event WHAT or WHO is?

I am excited. :):):)

Hmm, true. But looking back on the other 8 parter, Mass Hysteria, the Ghostbusters didn't encounter and battle the main threat, Tiamat, until halfway but her presence was felt since the preludes before the arc even started. I wouldn't be surprised if either an escapee or two don't get recaptured, something worse is attracted to NYC by the usage of the knock off teleporter to cross over, or someone that's been watching from the sidelines makes his/her/its move <cough>GB 101 #2<cough>.

2/27: Virtual Card #3 is RGB Winston.
https://twitter.com/erikburnham/status/ ... 2588656640
Fun read. He enlisted with the Air Force instead, got a liberal arts degree, and is a certified master mechanic. And the RGB universe is designated 68-R.

iTunes has the first 3 pages of Annual 2018 up.

Cool getting a bit more back story on Alan. SOS is Dimension 50-S. Associate of Arts in Accounting.

Virtual Card #5 is EGB Eduardo.

Confirms in this IDW canon, that the Extreme Ghostbusters are in a different dimension than The Real Ghostbusters but real close. RGB are in 68-R and EGB are in 68-E. Hmm, so that theory I had sort of panned out. A version of EGB will likely still play out in 68-R and a version of RGB preceded events in 68-E that led to the EGB being formed. The difference is basically the art styles. Similar to Sanctum of Slime being confirmed to be in a different dimension, 50-S but due to the appearance of young Alan, Kas Gibbons, the Dumazu entry in Insight's Tobin's Spirit Guide, etc. -- that a version of SOS seems destined to happen in IDW's prime dimension.

Erik hints it will be addressed in #3.
https://twitter.com/erikburnham/status/ ... 1124376576

Also Erik did hint at the designations. For 68-R, he equated 6 to G and 8 to B. So like visually, the # looks like the letter. So GB-R=RGB. Same here with 68-E=GB-E=EGB. Then for SOS, same thing with the visuals, 50-S=SOS. And for the ATC universe, 80-C -- if you sound it out - the phonetics of eighty sound like AT so ATC. It's not some earth shattering reference or someone's birth date or whatever. Just Erik messing with your senses. :P

So both the RGB and EGB are in their own dimensions but similar, I see. Can't wait to see how it develops. The IDW crew are doing a great job with the worldbuilding. ^_^

It's an intriguing concept. There's 50 cards but only 27 known Ghostbusters. 30 if you throw in Peck, Jenny, and Kevin. So it would seem the other 20 could be various ghosts, demons, corporeals, and gods appearing the the maxi.

Awful. Take care though. Hopefully you can connect to Internet and get the digital copy if worse comes to worse?

Nah, just meant, it all seems Erik's run was heading to this big interdimensional crossover from the start. Friday marks 7 years since Erik's first comic was released - Ghostbusters Infestation #1 which was <drum roll> an interdimensional crossover but just the villain Britt across several properties. Feels like whatever the next arc after Crossed Over, Erik will be starting a new through line. But I could be reaching. heh.
#4903971
Aha! Phew, as long as he’s not going anywhere for the foreseeable!

Of course, there is still another mystery:

I'm thinking the majority of RGB style ghosts at Liberty Island, may be a nod to Samhain originating from the RGB cartoon.

"Code Dan"... Schoening or Aykroyd?

Still wishing for a Holtzy/RGB Egon exchange regarding hairstyle. Can't believe Crossing Over starts next week. So psyched!

Yes. Majority of Samhain's Midnight Army in "When Halloween was Forever" but sprinkles of minor ghosts from seemingly random episodes, lots of Kenner toy ghosts, an ATC nod, a Filmation nod

Inside joke between Erik and Dan. Scripting an empty terminal scene means less background people for Dan to draw, therefore, a happier Dan.

First world problems, but doesn't leave much time to ponder and decompress.

EDIT: Preview of Crossing Over #1 by Spook Central should be up Saturday.

Thought Dapper Dan was the origin. It seems a lot funnier now. Thanks.

Virtual Trading Card 7 is Erin.

Nice touch making her a Sc.D instead of a Ph.D. A Doctor of Science means you went above and beyond in your doctoral work. And a perfectionist like Erin getting it makes total sense.

If I hadn't know about the 'prelude' set for end of the annual and if that scene of Egon taking an access band out the box didn't exist, I would have suspected that as I read the scene of them surrounded on Liberty Island, the 4 prime GBs would have pulled out Trap-Gates from inside their coveralls and sent the ghosts into the Containment Unit.

And on that note, really?! Stashing a Remote Portal Access Band in a cardboard box?! These guys haven't heard of safes?
