Don't fall for the placeholder solicit date.

Aaaand cue pin in the bubble. Seeing as how last month's solicit got screwy, I get the point.

Ha! I see what you did there are the end.

If it's any consolation, #8 preview pages on Friday. Hopefully.

I could've sworn they used to come out on Sundays/Mondays. Especially on Spook Central.

[mrmichaelt]

Nope, Spook Central's have been Fridays always.

Here's our preview of Ghostbusters International #8:

[Kingpin]

Hah! Just spotted a reboot-style Ghost Trap, and one of the Chinese restaurant business card props.

So #8's purported to be out next Wednesday?

[HauntedWallflower]

Ooooh Erik Burnham, you done made me LMAO with that fan club reference

[mrmichaelt]

Wow, Dan pretty much redesigned the second floor to mimic the layout seen in the stylized versions of Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

So #8's purported to be out next Wednesday?

Yes, so far it is.

[HauntedWallflower]

Rookie is back and looks good: https://twitter.com/eevensen/status/766273407088418818

It looks to me like...

they're travelling back to the RGB universe, the crowd on the last page is the same crowd from the beginning of Flip Side, and they're colored the same as the RGB universe in issue 1 of GB Get real

Indeed.

Looks likely they're using the Interspatial Teleportation Unit to go to the RGB universe to ask RGB Egon to 'translate' Egon's journal. I guess that's what Erik was teasing in a past interview in regards to RGB and what was being alluded to in this issue's logline.

But not all are from Flip Side. For instance, bald guy is the Mayor from "Deadcon"

Oh my god!! I didn't see this coming at all. I am loving this series issue after issue. .

[philmorgan81]

I am getting absolutely spoiled with this series. . Seeing them utilize their portal this way makes me think that maybe someday, in the event of a supernatural outbreak so massive that all the franchises in their universe can't stop it, we can see them outsourcing to other Dimensions for back up. Like both The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters at the same time. The mere thought just blows my mind. . The team at IDW has me convinced that absolutely anything is possible. I am just enjoying the heck out of this Ark, I am really hoping we can see the Ghostbusters fight Krampus like Erik had teased wanting to do. I am just now hoping for these books to never end they are just so much fun. Sorry for being long winded just got myself worked up.

[HauntedWallflower]

What's left to see now is

which episode of RGB they are in the middle of.

Looks like they're between episodes, imo, but the landscape is definitely based on "Cry Uncle" Central Park, imo. Maybe even that hot dog cart, too.

We should be very grateful that this comic series got another chance at life giving us even more chances to see Erik and Co. keep expanding and exploring the GB mythos with more story arcs, characters and ghosts to bust; can't wait to see what happens next and what surprises the comic series has in store. ^_^

Oh yeah I always wanted to know what I was missing between episodes. There were so many spirits in the containment unit that we never saw them capture.

Oh believe me I am incredibly grateful. It is especially awesome to come back to the original continuity after all the Reboot hype. I am really looking to seeing just how far the IDW crew can go.

November solicits. Too bad there's no way to save an image from a PDF-looking document (Unless that's just me).

We're back in the City That Never Sleeps for the final battle between the Ghostbusters and a rogue immortal who wants nothing more than control over the legions of Hell and dominions over the whole world! (Which sounds like Tuesday to us.) If they save the world, will the Ghostbusters ever venture beyond the five boroughs again without a massive retainer? Find out here in the GHOSTBUSTERS: INTERNATIONAL terrifyingly fun grand finale!

So this'll be like The New Ghostbusters then, reverting back to just Ghostbusters at the end of the arc?

[mrmichaelt]

Here's a screen grab of the solicit if anyone wants it.


Woof. What a cover. Takes me back to Displaced Aggression #4.

Hmm, could be interesting now that the big bad is known to be an immortal -- certainly complicates things since he's not a ghost, demon or god.

But since this is the finale... this possibly means we'll get that Krampus story in December after all?

[HauntedWallflower]

Sneak peek WIP of #10 from Dan.
Also, This close-up of #10's cover indicates that blond Egon will be in the IDWverse up to the finale or something.

[mrmichaelt]

Well, I figured that was Rookie on the #11 cover with Ray, Winston, and Peter. I think that's his pack. Will get a better look when the solicit drops this week presumably.

Actually if you Zoom in you can see RGB Egon's pony tale and the pack has a ghost trap attachment and 3 lights instead of 4. With that I am even more excited, fighting the Legions of Hell and RGB Egon is along for the ride. What more could you ask for? .

[mrmichaelt]

Part of what Evensen's doing in #9 will be in Japan.

Oh, yeah. I can see the silhouette of his hair do, now.

I'm a little on the fence about RGB Egon being around for 4 issues but once I read #8 and well, if it boosts sales numbers -- it's all good.

[HauntedWallflower]

So, not related to the International arc, but very much about the comics:
I was going back and reading the TMNT crossover and verified what I already knew: There are meanings behind the Renaissance names Peter picked for himself and the others just to mess with the Turtles. Botticelli (Ray) painted a blonde Venus, Signorelli (Winston) painted the Last Judgement, Titian (Egon) painted mostly redheads (establishing Titian hair) and El Greco (Peter)....OK, I'm stumped on that one.

Anyone else notice?

[mrmichaelt]

El Greco did make amusing statements like Peter. On Michelangelo he said, "He was a good man, but he did not know how to paint."

Knew it. Dan couldn't resist a Hellbent reference on the #11 cover. lol. Bottom right and center (along with a Flip Side nod).

[theweecrow]

Bottom left also has two symbols, one I don't recognize, but the one that is two asterisks the second one with what looks like a lowercase "e" attached to it is from the reconstructed Grey Skin grimoire of Icelandic magic or Seiðr. It's a stave used "to cause fear in an enemy".

[LandoSystem]

The newest issue is great!
Does anyone know what the gun in Egon's apartment next to the reboot trap is from?
