I'm game for for an Extreme Ghostbusters crossover. 20th anniversary in September...

Thanks! Yes, I agree. That definitely looks like them.

Nice catch, thanks!

I was wondering if something like that could happen with an entity split between dimensions. Fun ride so far though. :):):)[/spoiler]
Yes, that could be a key component to it. I'm sure whatever the solution they use, there'll be consequences. Erik's pretty on the ball with that throughout his writing since his first arc on Infestation.

You and me both sir. As I have said I was introduced to the world of Ghostbusters from the 1984 film. Then when Both The Real Ghostbusters and Filmation's Ghostbusters aired weeks apart how is a six year old supposed to know one is not related to the other. For me a team up would bring everything full circle. ;).

Even though the 2 references in Get Real we're just Easter eggs I found them to be very amusing and very welcome. Oh and let's not forget the Filmation references in earlier issues. In the first arc Ron was testing his equipment on a crash test Dummy that had a picture of a ghost very similar to the Filmation Logo and in the second arc when Roger was flipping through channels on Janine's tv and we see two characters that look very much like Tracy And Bratarat. With the rights in the hands of Dreamworks a crossover may be possible. If the rights still belonged to Lou Schiemer I would say No Way. Lou would have every right to say no to Sony since they did kinda screw him over when he agreed to let Sony use the name. :sigh:

The interesting thing is Eric, Dan and Tom had I guess discussed it briefly and to them they didn't know who the rights belonged too and they said that A Filmation Ghostbusters crossover pales in comparison to what they currently have planned. :).

All I know is that anything is possible especially with that Interdimensional portal at play. :):):)

The Yellow Ectoplasm being a pink slime-lite -- so Janine was worried about Egon so when they popped back in at the end of Vol. 2 #3, the slime did it's thing and enhanced her feelings then that led to the kiss. lol.

Thanks!

Found it on IDW's site but the front of 101 #4's RI cover will be Patty. Specifically when she first meets the team in Zhu's at the end of Chapter 5.
http://www.idwpublishing.com/product/gh ... ers-101-4/

So by process of elimination, Erin should be the #5 RI cover. That just leaves Peter, Winston, and Janine to be revealed. Janine probably will be the back of #6's.

Erin will get to shine in #4 and as a result, Holtzmann and Ray will be irritated with her.

Dimensional overlap doesn't happen all at once.

The yellow slime as pink slime lite thing is also possibly a nice nod to the Pozo episode of RGB, I think it was Partners in Slime? Mood slime was yellow in that one!

Knew the reporter on TV in 101 #3 was from something. So when Jim and Cal show Holtzmann the news report, the Ghostbusters are on screen talking to a reporter -- page 5 and 6 I think. He's from "Eye on New York" in the RGB episode "The Moaning Stones" who interviewed Nuxom about the stones at the start of the episode.

Good memory. But it also would turn red when Peter became angry. So I lean towards coincidence. I have so many slime questions for Erik now, looking back on the comics. lol.

Yeah, I think I'm a little iffy on the whole "different colored slimes do different things" idea. I loved most of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run, but ectoplasm doesn't have to be as color co-ordinated as Lantern rings :lol

Well it does kind of come straight from the primary canon! Green, pink and black slime, and their different qualities, come directly from the films and the video game. It seems a reasonable form for the IDW team to play with!

Plus they left the door open on different types in the Video Game. Winston observed seeing Blue and Yellow Ectoplasms in the Slime Labs in the realistic versions then in the stylized versions, I believe there were also Orange and Red in the tubes.

Hey I know this may be reaching, but there are also different color Slime in the Kenner Toy Line. Blue Slime, Yellow Slime, Pink Slime And Purple Slime. The Kenner Slime is one of the things that always pops in my head when I hear Winston list off the slime in that portion of the game. :):):)


I think I am starting to find the properties of ectoplasm just as interesting as Dr Spengler or Dr Stanz. I think I need help. ;)

Nice! I especially love the mashing up of the different teams gear. Hope it paves the way for us all to get a bit more creative in how we put together our costumes. Wonder if we'll see a combining of pack tech at any point (my partners uniform is a combo of ATC jumpsuit, RGB gadgets + OGB goggles but can't decide which pack to go with so we're holding off building one until the 101 runs over)

6/2: Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening did an interview with Comicgeddon TV this week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyXgWDvxyUo

Starting at around the 45:45 mark, they're asked about what's after 101
*They're not quite sure yet. There are a couple ideas. "They" want more. It depends on what is greenlit first.
*Dan says he's just finishing pencils on 101 #5 and he should be done with #6 in 4 to 4.5 weeks.
*Erik reiterates at the end of 101, the two universes will be separate again but they now know about each other.
*They confirm Garrett Parker is autistic.
*Erik and Dan will be at San Diego Comic Con.

6/5: Erik finished writing 101 #6.

6/6: Found a few more easter eggs in 101 #3

101 #5 moved back a week from July 19 to July 26.

Halloween Comic Fest announced its free comics out October 28, 2017. Among them, "Ghostbusters: Dia de Los Muertos" which appears to be a reprint of Volume 2 #10.

September solicits only had the above free comic so the only September release will be the Interdimensional Cross-Rip hardcover on the 20th.
