Yeah I am totally with you there. I love how this event has got us all talking and trying to figure out what the next big twist could be.

Hope that Peter is okay, seeing him the hospital again had me worried. I would not be surprised if this is the Schenectady Entity messing with him again. Very pleased that Crossing Over #2 is out this week, rather than next. Between this and Batman/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6 I am in for some fun reading this week.

Mixed feelings myself. IDW's Disney line has been logjammed due to illness in Disney's approval office...well, it looks like the dam has burst and there's three overdue Disneys coming out this week along with Crossing Over and some other stuff I buy. My wallet will not be happy this week. :lol:

I was under the impression that Tiamat freed Vigo out of the painting to test the Ghostbusters and observe their tactics. The Scoleri Brothers, I admit, can be open ended. Did she pull them from the unit somehow, did Vigo create echoes or copies of them once he got juiced up on Hart Island, did they previously escape during Ghostbusters: The Video Game or Ghostbusters: Infestation?
• who was Tiyah's weird friend?
Kas, the mother of the 'prime' and SOS universe's Bridget Gibbons.
• where's the Goze at?
Tiamat did say Gozer would recover and continue its quest of going dimension to dimension destroying planets. So presumably, business as usual back on schedule.

VTC #17 is RGB Ray.
Page from CO #2. Janine shushing the Busters and the coloured version of the derp-slap Peter gets from her. I feel a little bit hopeful from seeing Waltz's caption about Janine "ALWAYS being in charge." Especially the emphasis he put on the "always." Then again, I'm also expecting an epic ass-pull to happen over time, as much as I'm sick of those.

Actually, looks like a page from #3 -- sometimes he combines promotions - the WIP Tom posted of the smack was from #3 and it looks like the previous page was the SOS team asking if the teleportation unit can time travel since they're from a dimension where their GBs are older. Something Erik hinted at for #3.

Looks like Jenny comes with a new flightsuit for her corporeal form. Knowing Dan, has to be a nod to someone. I think the Alberta/Calgary Ghostbuster, Candace has a similar flightsuit.

It looks like a callback to her Ghost Smashers uniform to me. Also, I can't wait to see Janine's card. Or if any of her counterparts have a card too.

July solicits are out.
Crossing Over #5
A headless horseman. A haunted brewery. The complicated nature of temporal mechanics across the dimensions. The Ghostbusters can handle all of that, no sweat. But a sinister force is on the horizon, one they barely survived before, and at a great personal sacrifice. Tiamat made a deal to leave the Ghostbusters' earth... but what's the fun of being a god of chaos if you can't find a few loopholes? Mass Hysteria is in full effect as CROSSING OVER continues!
Only cover shown is the RI by Emma Vieceli.

Perhaps when all is said and done, the existence of Tiyah and Winston's marriage will be restored. Hopefully.

SUNOCO STATION!

Build an off-site storage unit in an abandoned Sunoco gas station in New Jersey like Dan had in his original script!

Exactly. Or alternatively or additionally, in the Warehouse in Red Hook.

Good point about Red hook. The warehouse is already in-universe and would make sense.

I still think the Sunoco idea would be logical since it's not in the five boroughs and would limit damage in case of a breach (and fairly or not, it sets up a slew of cheapshots aimed at New Jersey that the cartoon loved to make). They could hold entities in the central location for a while, then get a converted dump truck to transport cargo over to the offsite storage facility.

Side note: putting their entire operation and sleeping quarters on top of a potential psychokinetic geyser/bomb may have been a serious design flaw in the firehouse layout.

Annnnnddddddd now I'm fanfic'ing.

VTC #18 is Abby. It's weird, but I can relate to feeling initially jealous of sharing a favourite thing with someone else. I still struggle with it.

I let Erik and Tom know but these memos might not be in the trade.

I like that bit about how Abby had the same problem upon meeting Holtzmann, too.

It definitely adds a dimension to their relationship. If I was Abby, I'd be a green-eyed monster too. Like, "This hussy not only knows the same stuff as me, but so much more?! And how dare she actually have a brain to make equipment based on that knowledge! I would've thought of that in kindergarten! Aargh!" Anime fans would call her a tsundere :lol:
Just had a thought. D'you reckon the ATC Busters would be popular enough to have their own smilies in this forum?

As a fellow regular member not affiliated with anyone in the staff, sure. Why not? I could go for Mike the Golem and Robo-buster smilies myself.

Erik Burnham just got thumbnails for Crossing Over #4. He hyped the issue as "may be the biggest, craziest, most fun issue we've ever done."

VTC #19 is none other than Prime Egon. Oh my gosh, can this guy just not be thickheaded enough to emotionally process his death for once?! What will convince him, I wonder....

Sadly, I can see this as one area the IDW Egon and RGB Egon are consistent with each other to some extent. I think about the time RGB Egon fell off the World Trade Center in "The Boogeyman Is Back" and suppressed the trauma..and of course it drove him nuts and allowed the Boogeyman to come back. I hope IDW Egon comes to terms with it before something similar or worse happens.

To that, if you're a member of IDW's Ghostheads United Facebook group, Erik added to the #4 thumbnail news by hinting more at what's in the issue, who's on who's team and revealed one of the thumbnails. Out of context, the thumb looks it deals with this very issue brought up about Egon and death.

EDIT: Tom posted a preview of the first page of Crossing Over #4.

#3 was pushed back a week to May 30.
