Cool. Another GB universe to explore.

Very pleasing to see some more GB content coming in addition to GB101. ^_^

I've never gotten into the Funko Pops, but there's a friend of mine who loves them. I may check it out for the story, though.

Great Gozer!!!! Of all the things that could be put out, I didn't see this coming at all. This is a nice suprise. :):):)

Looking forward to this comic, it seems like a fun idea. I really enjoyed the one shot Mars Attacks The Real Ghostbusters and I have a feeling that I will enjoy this one too.

May solicits are out. The Funko one shot is set for May 10 tentatively. Two covers. Writer is Troy Dye. Artist is Phil Murphy. Cover artist is Eddie Irizarry.
One we saw before: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR170458
Toy Variant: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR170459

And logline
An ancient Japanese prophecy foretold that when the Masters of the Four Winds unite, they would become unstoppable. Instead, the four masters killed each other in battle, proving the prophecy false. More than 600-years later, an ancient shuriken is unearthed, releasing the spirit of one of the masters to seek out and resurrect the other three in order to fulfill the prophecy. Now, the only thing that stands between the undead ninja and the destruction of the land of the living is... the Ghostbusters!

Bullet points:
• Part of this month's big FUNKO UNIVERSE event!
• Fresh off the successful launch of the new app, these stories focus on the fun and magic surrounding one of the world's most popular and well recognized game properties!

Am I seeing things, or has the title strap on the comics ditched that stupid "angle tilt" the logo went through a couple of years back?

Oh, good; I'm not the only one who noticed that. As subtle as the tilt was, it really bothered me...

Diamond messed up the covers listing again.

What they have on -59 is not the Funko Toy variant. It is the RI Cover.

On a third cover I found: It is not the RI cover. It is the Funko Toy variant being shown.

I never really understood the massive love for Funko toys. It's very strange. Then again they are making an emoji movie.

They're fun little collectibles, and as they're much more solid than some figures, are safer than some things for children to possess.

Phil Murphy revealed there's a 4th cover, he did with Luis Delgado, but it's the dreaded RE Convention variant. What con? To be announced.

I'm tempted to get this, but I'm wondering... Will this be a rehash of the classic movie in Funko style? Or will we get some new material? Anyone know the plot yet?

EDIT - Nevermind, I read the synopsis a few posts back. I was just afraid this was only Funko-fying what we were already familiar with. Looks like a pre-order for me.

Very pleased to hear that the Funko one shot was a big seller. I really enjoyed the story in this one and the stylized art was a lot of fun as well. Seeing Janine as a Funko POP really made me wish that she had an actual toy counterpart. Dana. Louis and the Terror Dog were the last Ghostbusters characters to get Funko POP's produced of them.

I just got this on Kindle for 69p lol

I love the funko pop figures I have way too many like over 100 lol (just got 2 .ore too for Christmas lol). My thought is :

- Cover made think it was the first movie done in comedy way like Lego games. Disappointed no stay puft he's on the cover damn it!


+ The story was hilarious , adorable and I would highly recommend it's great! I wish this was on going lol I'd so follow this one.

I see they did others like xfiles. I'm tempted to by dredd and ninja turtles ones lol
