Interesting touch that Gabe and Samuel are part-time Ghostbusters but makes sense since we previously knew they were college students. And I believe Alan's Virtual Trading Card noted he got an online degree already and Bridget is working on an Associates towards Psych.

Pretty cool that 20/20 takes place literally right after Crossing Over #8 and the SOS team can't catch a break. lol. And the mention of the Moose Ghost, lmao. Loved the one "difference" from the RGB case that the SOS team saw through W-a-t's b.s. pretty quickly.

Dug the solid focus on Alan in this and the back up. Props to him for figuring out W-a-t's ruse. But holy smokes, almost swallowed by W-a-t and ends up blowing his head off!

Geoff got a slightly bigger role than his cameo on Get Real but some lovely comedy relief before the big battle. He's so desperate he went to Philly.

Clever reveal with W-a-t "stowing" away on Alan's flightsuit. And once W-a-t revealed himself, I was so "OH! He looks just like the Spectral Ghostbusters! Dan!" And managed to give us a new visual, too, W-a-t has Egon suspended in mid-air like a puppet.

Loved all the connections. The SOS file in Crossing Over noted 50-S was the closest to the prime dimension they've encountered so far. And here, we got a little more reasons why - they also have a security system on their Containment Unit, Egon was using a Giga Meter in the one scene he was scanning Alan's flightsuit. And wow, even threw in a divergence (and/or possible future) for Kylie prime. Happy to read she got herself a doctorate in at least one dimension.

The ending was hilarious - chased by a headless W-a-t, trapping him with a powered up Trap, causing a city wide blackout, and the bit about Sam. lmao. Well played.

Should be used to him by now, but it was another nice surprise to see the Icon Ghost from RGB in between stories.

Another great surprise we also got a 50-S version of the Sandman story. Like in the 2015 annual, there's a Sandman in a house on Staten Island. Or they went in wearing Ecto Goggles, too, only to get attacked almost right away and sent to that dream-like state. Also nice touch that like Egon did in the annual, Alan also got a "memento" from the experience.
