The issue concludes the Ghost-Smashers story arc begun in the preceding issues, resolving Eugene Visitor's subplot and bringing the fallout of Ron Alexander's knock-off proton packs to a head in Herald Square during the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Plot
The aftereffects of the bootleg proton packs built by Ron Alexander and the Ghost-Smashers have produced an oversized, over-charged ghost -- the Megaspook -- rampaging through New York City during the Thanksgiving Day parade. Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and Egon Spengler deploy to Herald Square aboard the Ecto-2 (debuting from The Real Ghostbusters) alongside the Ghost-Smashers, laying traps in a coordinated grid at Broadway and West 35th Street. Even crossing the streams proves insufficient against the boosted entity. Eugene Visitor's arc, which had run from Issue #8 onward, is wrapped up. Ultimately it falls to Death, making a surprise appearance, to remove the Megaspook from play. Walter Peck at the Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission deals with the political fallout, while Alice the librarian from the first film appears among the crowd of bystanders.
