There’s the Men in Black one, but that one’s a board game. Oh who am I kidding? A Volume 4 would be cool. (International was basically V3)

We’re getting the IDW 20/20 in January which is the Sanctum of Slime oneshot. Having a oneshot for each team would be cool too.

Erik is on the record saying he pitched the next story and it has no multiversal/crossover component. It's really up to the powers that be now to approve it or ask for something else.

Wow I can't wait to see how this wraps. Already looking forward to the SOS one shot and am hoping it is another thing to test the waters for some Ghostbusters Spin Off comics. I am also looking forward to some stories with the Core 4 Prime busters and hopefully a nice build up to the next big event what ever that may be. :):):)

THIS. Is what I'm truly salty about. And I'm salty about the "price-to-pay" implications of loving a Ghostbuster, cos by that logic, Egon and Janine have a LOT to suppress. And the fact that Egon didn't get proper emotional closure about experiencing death and then coming close to it yet again.
Also, if the gris-gris doesn't evolve beyond an unused plot device, I'll scream like the Ghost Librarian.

Another thought popped up. With Tiamat out of the picture, who thinks Winston will try again with Tiyah or you do you think he's going to keep his distance still?

Good point. Hmm. EDIT: Erik confirmed it's a Monty Python reference. So Tiamat is the Rabbit of Caerbannog. Kylie sure knows her pop culture.

And! It looks like the lady with the big hairdo is the TV psychologist from near the start of the same episode:

As yes, the very Dr. Ruth-ish host. Good catch, Kingpin! And I think what we thought was a chicken suit around the corner is the guy in the baked turkey outfit Ruth counsels in the episode.

Does this mean my interest for issues featuring the other teams is coming true? That would be cool.
Oh and here's a couple other teasers:

4 regular covers, a different team each cover, April - looks like that anthology pitch is being used after all.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1072628132534984706

Cover B or RIs probably.

Rough thumbs for the ATC one, check.

Looks like a Lattie Cover B for the EGB one, check.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1072613661028597760

The thing that irks me is this is another weekly mini like TMNT/GB 2. Not a fan of that format.

Hmm, so another series in June probably as some of us guessed.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1072611144953663488

The June cover? A full page? Some sea entity I guess.

I think I've earned one gripe. :P

EDIT: Okay, so in that one with the prime team surrounded by the 'ocean' - it looks like Ray's consulting a map, and looks like the head off a Neptune statue, and part of his trident.

Tom dropped more information.

IDW celebrates the GB 35th Anniversary with a 4-issue weekly event in April 2019, featuring 4 different #Ghostbusters teams in adventures written and illustrated by 4 different creative teams.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073679291152355328

Each issue has 3 covers - a Cover A by the issue's artist, an interconnected Cover RI by Anthony Marques, and an interconnected RE Convention Covers by Dan Schoening. Now colored. (so Wonder Con? And ugh, expect high resale prices)
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073680143476903936

Issue #1 releases April 3, 2019 starring the Ghostbusters (prime team) by Erik, Dan, and Luis. A cover is the water one.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073680831422464000

Issue #2 releases April 10, 2019 staring the RGB by Cavan Scott, Marcelo Ferreira and Luis. A cover shown.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073681399238914049

Issue #3 releases April 17, 2019 starring the ATC by Devin Grayson, S.L. Gallant, and Luis
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073681782267043840

Issue #4 releases April 24, 2019 starring the EGB by Jim Beard & Keith Dallas, Tim Lattie, and Luis.
https://twitter.com/TomWaltz/status/1073682228293464064

And it's titled "Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary". Each issue denotes the team so RGB one is "Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary: The Real Ghostbusters"

Erik Burnham shed some light on "June 2019" - he lobbied for something else with Ghostbusters and had to decline writing all four issues of the 35th anniversary mini-series because of the next release scheduled for June 2019. He hinted it was "pretty big" and it's been kept a secret since San Diego Comic Con 2018.

Good Golly! Cutos to them for keeping a secret. A BIG announcement for June? I can't imagine anything bigger than crossing over, but I know they are going to pull the rug out from under me. ;). I am pretty sure it is something I haven't even thought of. I am glad that four of the Ghostbusters Universes are moving forward post Crossing Over in April. So looking forward to RGB, EGB and ATC moving forward with the knowledge of a much bigger multiverse.

My heart can't stop pounding at the thought of what the big announcement may be. :):):)

Yeah, I'm curious if the April issue will the stand alone bust a couple of us have been clamoring for and if this June thing is the same or picking up on the ongoing canon like will these Predators that Tiamat kept mentioning will make a move against the Ghostbusters.

Or will it pick up on open ended plots/gags/things-we-assume-were-taken-care-of-between-issues left by Erik over the years like
-The Infestation Zombies in New Jersey
-Shelly the Witch from Volume 1 #12
--Who knows how many more ex-boyfriends (or anyone in general) she's hexed, could be a neat story to have them take on a living witch or witches
-Hel, Fenrisulfr, Jormungandr from Volume 2 #6
--Got to be a little ticked her Grendel and Draugar were trapped
-Chi You
--I have a gut feeling his return is being saved for a hypothetical TMNT/GB Vol. 3
-Sandman from Annual 2015
--Definitely a bone to pick for being harmed for the first time and could bring his "children" along per Ernst's myth
-Aibell
--Definite bone to pick or is she content with never seeing them ever again
-Unidentified ATC revenge ghost (or Rowan) from 101 #2 that spoke to the big yellow ghost
-Gareth Dibello
--Eh, safe to say the 11-W, 68-M, and /or 68-Q could have recaptured him off screen or they did so post-Crossing Over or on the to do list.
-Death
--The wild card, imo, who can pop up at anytime
-Krampus
--Cameo in Vol 2 #11 and 12 but Erik had an idea for a story set in Germany
-Maybe Rodefhiri escapes his confinement
-Or will we ever see FBI Special Agent Holtzmann

Or the pie in the sky kind of stuff
-Egon and Janine (I know, I know)
-An idea Erik said he had at one time about using a Djinn
-An idea Erik had about Ray's spirit guide coming to the GBs for help
-An idea Erik had for ghost similar to the Vathek from Extreme Ghostbusters except it was tied to language, though, random sounds instead of writing.
-Adaptations of the movies and The Video Game.
-Kevin Tanaka getting approved by PCOC to bust (ok, maybe that's just my wish lol)

Man I think you are hitting the nail on the head of how well they have built this world. It really seems like there are many options for them to go. I believe Kevin Tanaka is over due for some field work. Janine is pulling double duty as secretary and liaison and if Ray wants to put more man hours into figuring out a way to get Jenny out of the containment unit, somone will have to help out in the field in his stead. I think if the comic continues to do well I think we will see Kevin done a pack real soon. I also think we might see an inside the containment unit adventure in the Prime universe. I just hope Jenny is not stuck there I have really come to like that character.

I was wondering if they do put out a third TMNT/GB crossover if they deal with Chi Yu's return or if they would fight the Ghost of the Shredder. I would love them to team up to fight the Turtles arch nemesis, but at the same time I can understand why they probably wouldn't want to go that route. For one thing it might feel like a retread of the Darius encounter. It might also take away a lot of weight from the Turtles victory in Shredder's defeat. Who knows. ;). The main thing I would look forward to is the Ghostbusters going to the Turtles world. I know that idea was being bounced around and the thought just brings a smile to my face. :)

Again much fun to discuss the possibilities. :):):)
