I'm not liking the style, but I never liked the abstract look idw used on film characters to avoid paying likeness rights either

Not in the September solicits. So down to October, November, or December, knock wood.

Not in the October solicits. So 50:50 between November and December, hopefully.

Not in the November solicits. In month, we'll see if it's still coming out this year I guess.

Wouldn't it make sense for the comic to be delayed along with the movie? Or could it be used as early promotion?

Either or at this point.

[mrmichaelt]

Not in the December solicits. So yeah, affirmative it's been delayed to 2024.

[mrmichaelt]

Not in the January solicits.

Cools. Weird they're releasing the first issue of four 2 days before Frozen Empire comes out. I guess logistics was an issue and they couldn't start it in December anymore when the movie was delayed. Ideally, December to March, then boom watch the movie 2 days later would've been perfect.

Here's the variant cover for #1.

Will be interesting to see. Not familiar with anybody on the creative team, but once upon a time I was going "Who the hell is Erik Burnham?' and we know how well that turned out.

I read Blue Delliquanti's O Human Star while it was largely still being published... It was a good, complex story of identity on a number of different levels (gender, sexuality, and transcending death through a digital copy of your mind), and well-illustrated... While maintaining a simplified colour palette (which differed in colour to delineate scenes taking place in the present and the past).

While Blue is only providing the illustrations this time, I'm looking forward to seeing her interpretation of the Ghostbusters universe.

The Dark Horse blog says the story is set 1.5 years after Afterlife. (Edit so in-universe that's December 2022)

I'm not familiar with Mildred Louis's work, but her colouring looks eye-catching: LINK.

Big shoes to fill on this one.
I hope its good.

I think everybody is aware how I feel about IDW, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

So with the main story being about the changing family dynamics, think the series will be more slice of life or have a "big bad" or something causing problems before the Death Chill?

I interpreted "changing family dynamics" as Gary becoming a part of their lives and by extension, learning to work together as a GB team. Maybe the comic will broach their first call they got as a team.

Looking forward to this. A fresh start for GB in comic form is long overdue.
