But even that is leaving NYC in a tough spot... if something else big were to happen...

zeta otaku wrote:So, this might be highly premature, but... after Ghostbusters International wraps up (loving this story arc by the way), will the line continue (either under the GB International name or another volume with an issue #1)?Unknown. But for Volume 2, it eventually transitioned back to just 'Ghostbusters' -- so it could be the same case here. But with all the publicity of seeing Ghostbusters around the world, other countries and clients would surely take notice... but then again Peck brokered the deal with the bad guy's lackey that got them into this mess in the first place.
zeta otaku wrote:So, this might be highly premature, but... after Ghostbusters International wraps up (loving this story arc by the way), will the line continue (either under the GB International name or another volume with an issue #1)?We still have the annual to look forward to, but other than that there is yet to confirm whether another series will be greenlighted. Everyone's making plans so far.
zeta otaku wrote:So, this might be highly premature, but... after Ghostbusters International wraps up (loving this story arc by the way), will the line continue (either under the GB International name or another volume with an issue #1)?Met and spoke with Dan this past weekend at Fan Expo (he is super nice and also sketched me a gorgeous and very detailed commission, seriously, if anyone meets him and he's open to commissions, his art is worth every penny), and he said that they are still waiting to see if IDW will continue the series after International. There is definitely an Annual coming after International wraps up with #11, though.
zeta otaku wrote:Well... I mean... in that case... someone needs to tell Dan that they make IV drips and catheters for a reason!

I'm still in awe of what he accomplished in the time he had. Mind you, at this point, he can probably draw his own designs in his sleep.

My favourites are Rachael Stott and Erik Evansen, I welcome their line art anytime, but as long as Luis continues colouring and/or they don't suddenly get RGB hair colours, I'm happy. I hope they continue, like I told Dan today on Twitter "As long as they keep making the comic, I'll keep buying it!" I would love a series based off the new movie, too, but I think it's currently off-limits for that. I know Erik Burnham is interested in writing it, as is Gail Simone.

"The Rookie": So... Wait. It seems like you're frustrated by the lack of cliched and lazy conflict resolution because it doesn't fit your ideal romantic scenario for these two characters? As M. Thunder suggests Eric, by the mere act of addressing the possibility of a relationship, is clearly creating tension for when the direction of the relationship is revealed and I like it. If they get together, great. If not, great. If they both die in some parallel dimension, great. Life is just a string of uncertainties, and no one is guaranteed anything, especially love. We as readers want what we want and if that's a happy ending, groovy because that is an ever-persistent fantasy that EVERYONE has and strives for, but life just doesn't work that way sometimes. Do they happen? Of course they do. Is there any guarantee? Not at all. But seeing the final resolution, the final climactic moment where things come together or finally irreparably break apart, isn't that worth sticking around for?Here's another from a different user:
"M.Thunder": I'll third what Rookie said: nothing is guaranteed, especially not love. We don't know what will happen or why, but the story itself isn't here exclusively to fulfill our self-indulgant fantasies. Unless you count the fantasy of even having a continuing Ghostbusters series. That IS what it's here for. Everything else is just icing on the cake.I just saved some of these quotes when the forums were going haywire.
*NormalGamer* wrote:@ *referring to bold*I too know where to find the long-gone IDW forums and have read these quotes before. I don't hope for anything cheesy, in fact, I mould my headcanons to fit with the plot whenever a new issue comes out. But I do wish something close to a huge hint (like, a seed of somewhat wishful hope) comes along and it doesn't end on an unsatisfactory (My word for it) note like when we all thought Vol 2 was the last. And in this ongoing arc, I see something worth sticking around for btw.
Yeah, I see what you mean; holding back character development for the characters isn't cool, but honestly, even if they don't end up together as an official couple, i'm not gonna complain about it; that's what fanfiction is for, anyway.

mrmichaelt wrote:I fine with breaks but definitive breaks are better (i.e. right away they way, 'we're ending at #11 in November and the series will start again in February')Agreed. IDW ought to make the deal that they pick up the series on either Jan or Feb after the annual. In fact, IDW should keep this series going for two or three years tops.
In terms of relationships, hmm. I do appreciate they resolved Peter and Dana in Volume 2. I'm glad they left some hope for Winston and Tiyah. I love that Ray and Jenny are an item. Egon and Janine, well, I'd settle for them having a 2 page long conversation at this point.Thank goodness for the cleared air between Peter and Dana. That's one shadow down. I would really love to see Tiyah again. Maybe there should be an arc where her psychic friend in the wheelchair (forgot her name) is the only other person besides Winston, who remembers the marriage. Ray and Jenny should stay together for as long as everyone reads these comics. As for the only OTP that I would happily swap for my own parents....
On one hand you can look at GBI as just volume 3 of the ongoing series or you look at it as progress.It's the former for me.

Fingers crossed for something in #11 or Annual #2. Hmm, I wonder if we'll see Egon, wherever he is, in #9 or 10 before his presumed revival in #11.

I imagine oblivion to be a big, black nothing (kind of like outer space with no stars, planets and other space paraphernalia) that only Thorsteinsson can come and go from.

Honestly, at this point, I practically expect them to take a couple of months off after International ends just to be able to have a good advance on work. It looks like there were delays in production too, not just in distribution.
