Again, not "essential", but of some historical interest. It's also in the Haunted Holidays collection.JA Slow wrote:So Total Containment has everything of the Ongoing Series minus the few proceeding issues. Wonder if there will be a Complete Collection like those Omnibus things. I haven't bought any of these comics and would like to read just the Ongoing Series for now. If one to start at just #1, would they be missing any information regarding what's what outside of the movies and game?Sort of. You don't really have to because the writing is so good and brings you up to speed but to get the whole picture, you would need Ghostbusters: Infestation #1 and 2. What happens at the end of it leads into the events surrounding #1-4 of the ongoing. Some of Tristan Jones' PCOC files in the supplementary section are about entities/characters from the Displaced Aggression mini-series and the What in Samhain Just Happened?! one shot. That's pretty much it... you can get away with not reading the other IDW GB material. Of course, if you factor in Dan Schoening's easter eggs and references, your question may as well get tossed out the window. lol.
