After a very fun and adventurous story arch of Ghostbusters: Get Real in which the comic book dimension 'busters meet the cast of the late 80s animated cartoon The Real Ghostbusters, International is swinging readers back to a more plausible, if that's even possible in the GB universe, arch.

There is not much action in this issue, but there does not need to be.  This is a launching pad for a new direction in a beloved and popular title, and this team (which has spent a lot of time working with the franchise) looks like they're setting everything up to do it right.  The editors at IDW made a good choice in keeping this team together on this franchise.  Read Full Review

This first issue of Ghostbusters International, like the first issue of what would eventually become Justice League International, contains an event at the United Nations, some humor and some heroics. There are no passports or plane tickets. This issue begins and ends in the same country, but this is clearly the springboard of a new chapter in the Ghostbusters legend. I, for one, will be dialed in to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

The first issue of Ghostbusters International isn't the strongest start we've seen from IDW's various mini-series. Despite the straightforward premise, there's a seeming reluctance to dive into the new global status quo for our heroes. Even so, the book features all the humor, slick artwork and fun character dynamics we've come to expect from these comics by now. Read Full Review

This is a good first issue that sucks you in and instantly makes you want to see more of the story. The basic idea of a global Ghostbusters is a great concept and nobody handles corporate comedy filtered through the genre lens like the Ghostbusters. Its still a little up in the air how various international Ghostbusters teams will remain interesting and compelling given that theyd, by definition, have to be all new characters, but the promise of ghosts and monsters grounded in foreign iconography and cultural idiosyncrasy is more than enough to engage. Bottom line: rock solid opening to an interesting overall idea thats drawn from the great central origin of this series, promising an end comic thats very much up there with the bests of this subgenre like Justice League International or Batman Inc.

There's a lot a Ghostbusters comic book should be and most of it is missing from Ghostbusters International. The story might end up going somewhere pretty cool if the last two pages are anything to go by but the classic Ghostbusters feeling is entirely missing from the dialogue. My main problem is that they've settled on the character art and can't change it now which, given how distracting it was, means this is a series I won't be following. Read Full Review
