In the Firehouse, outside of the main story campaign, but in the hub freeplay. It turns up as part of the differing realities you can pop into to get parts to construct things.
I'll have to check that out.

Even though I don't worry much about sales nor keep up a lot on them, this is a great surge and it shows that the ATC crew are a great addition to the franchise and at the same time didn't ruin anything in the GB mythos. ^_^

The question now is that will it hold up when the next few issues arrive?

I think so. The past 2 mini-series were able to hold up around the initial sales figure.

Hey, I'm new here.
I'm all about the comics!

I really enjoyed 101 #1. Burnham and Dan Schoening are heroes in my eyes, heroes I say.
My biggest problem with ATC was the lack of overall story structure (not looking to bash the film), so I'm glad the new characters are in the hands of creators who will do them the service they deserve.
I'm really excited to see where all the creators involved take this story, as for me, the crossovers have been outstanding. Ghostbusters Get Real was unbelievably amazing.

Can't wait for issue 2. :cool:

Hey Andy Welcome to the Boards. :) I am with you, the story in the comic right now is burning slow but I anticipated that with a 6 issue story. I am really looking forward to actually caring about the ATC crew. I believe the IDW team can really flesh these characters out way better than Paul Feig did. Like you I really don't enjoy bashing the Reboot, but the story and characters felt off. Yeah the crossovers have been extremely fun. I am very curious to what the Big Bad in this story will be. I know it has to be something pretty big to warrant a challenge for 2 teams of Ghostbusters. For the TMNT story it was Chi Yu for Get Real it was Proteus. I am anticipating a surprise or two in this ark. :):):)

Hey Phil,
Thanks for the welcome! It's great to be here.
I wish it was another ongoing. Since the second vol. finished, it's just been a series of maxi & mini series. Which are great, but you know they'll end. I know it's all down to readership, so the more people read it, the more chance they'll do another series. It's why I tell everyone I know in comics to read them!
Like you, I'm excited to see who the villain will be, it has to be some one on the level of Proteus, we have to 2 teams here! Either way, I'm excited :cool:

Does anyone have a favourite story arc in the comics?

Well for me that is a real tough question. I have enjoyed every ark and just when I think the stories can't get any better the next ark comes along. I don't think I have just one favorite ark, the whole series has been one hell of a ride. :):):)

4/19: July solicits are out.
1. The Interdimensional Cross-Rip hardcover is set for September 20.
https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAY170448

2. Also included are the first 2 hardcovers, so I guess they're being re-released.

3. Ghostbusters 101 #5 is set for July 19
The Ghostbusters have found out what's bringing their dimensions together - and for once, it doesn't have anything to do with a sinister beam of light heading into the sky! Tech nerds from two dimensions will need to put their heads together and build something that'll solve the problem (and at least half of them hope any solution includes a satisfying explosion!)
Only the regular cover was revealed tonight.

I have a soft spot for Tristan Jones' "Who Killed Laura Parr?" back up story from Haunted America in Volume 1, #9-13, and the Happy Horror Days! arc in Volume 2, #9-12.

4/20: 101 #3 date moved to May 24.

Tom released a WIP with Erin, Peter, and Holtzmann. Presumably from #4.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/855175009794260992

Dan Schoening will be at Calgary Expo (which runs April 27th to 30th) in Calgary Stampede Park. There will be a panel "Spotlight on Dan Schoening" on April 29 6:15 to 7 pm in Palomino AB-BMO Centre. He's stationed at A-05 in the Artists' Alley as well.
https://twitter.com/Dapperpomade/status ... 3256970241

4/22: Dan posted a mini preview of the TMNT/GB deluxe hardcover - front, back, bonus content.
https://twitter.com/Dapperpomade/status ... 3823755264

4/25: Judging from Erik's reply in a new interview -- sounds like the antagonist of 101 might be another Megaspook.
EB: This may kind of be a spoiler, it may not. In the Ghostsmashers arc, we showed what could happen if you simply dispersed (or blew up) too many ghosts — the matter reformed, and with so much floating around, the psychokinetic energy combined into a bigger ghost. Well, Holtzmann’s favorite thing is to simply blow up the ghosts (that Times Square scene didn’t bother much with trapping!) What I’m saying is that those two things could cause a problem. Say… in issue 4.

Hmm, just remembered the Zuul teaser in ATC. Could be pretty neat if Erik weaves that into #2 or 3 like he did with Get Real and "Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster" -- after the 101 kids break the teleporter and the universes start merging -- then one of the scenes afterwards incorporates the Zuul teaser as one of the indicators.

Well they certainly are very good at tying things together. ;). Hey I don't know if anyone has read this interview with Erik and Dan here, but it talks about some ramifications that may arise in 101# 4 regarding Holtzman's love for blowing up ghosts. I had a feeling that they would address this issue since it appeared to be one of the biggest gripes I had heard about the Reboot. People kept saying "Hey why are they just killing Ghosts?" Knowing the Classic GB lore I had a theory of what was actually happening, and after reading this I was really excited to see I may have been in the ball park. :):):)

It's a great read.

So Jenny is no longer a wispy blue translucent spirit? Gonna be weird seeing her look human on the outside, yet otherwise netherworldly.

I love looking at Dapper Dan's crowd scenes, to see what references I can spot. Can't wait for tomorrow!
