Ha. Nice catch.

Ghostbusters International was Volume 3 of the ongoing series. They managed to keep the moniker for the whole run unlike Volume 2's New Ghostbusters.

Just as a head's up reminder, I keep a sales chart in my signature, it will take you to a blog on the wiki (because Photobucket decided to alienate all of their users) and I will keep the chart there perpetually and will update when new figures come out.
101 #4 performed about the same as International #9-11 -- which is standard for sales to drop to towards the end of the run. Obviously, #1 issues will always be the highest because it's the first issue, a lot try it out, there's comic collectors that are going after the #1, and the GB fans. But oddly, the Annual 2017 did the all time worst in sales of IDW GB comics.
If you want to look at it comparatively with the other 2 crossovers -- yeah, the TMNT/GB mini demolished Get Real and 101. The only comics that came close to their numbers were I think Volume 1 and 2's #1 issues from the ongoing. So you can argue they should have done a sequel mini instead if sales are the only driver you're looking at. For instance, we don't know the projections IDW has and Erik has told me that the sales figures we've seen over the years satisfy the bean counters so there's no emergency to declare.
EDIT: I agree, this mini could be IDW dipping their toes and seeing if spin-offs for GB can be as lucrative and successful as the TMNT titles. I've longed for a Chicago GB and that core 4 idea spin offs.
