Aquila #1
May 3, 2015 |
Despite its satisfying low-fantasy violence and interesting setting, though, Aquila is ultimately comic book potato chips: you'll keep eating given the chance, but there's not much substance. There's no character depth whatsoever, and no identifiable protagonists or antagonists. It's just a story of killing, with Aquila himself serving more as an excuse to explore the setting than a character in his own right. But it's a great setting, so the superficial characters can be forgiven. |

But that all is very minor. Cold Spots is an interesting story so far, with great, creepy art, and I'm looking forward to the next issue. |

Ghostbusters Annual: 2018
Mar 11, 2018 |
For all that, this is, once again, a fun book, with the best of Burnham's witticisms, Schoening's expressive, cartoony character designs, and Delgado's blazing colors. It also ends on a high note, with Egon enlisting the aid of every other set of 'Busters from the multiverse to clean up Samhain's army of ghosts. |

Ghostbusters 101 #2
May 3, 2017 |
If you haven't read any of the IDW Ghostbusters, you might find yourself a little over your head jumping in here. So much has happened"involving the 1980s The Real Ghostbusters, the Ninja-freaking-Turtles, and more"that it can be a little overwhelming. But everything is so tongue-in-cheek that it doesn't really matter. Burnham and co. have taken the thing I hate most about contemporary comics (i.e., the multiverse) and made it fun. As I think I've said before, read this. |

It's so goddamned silly, you guys. And I love it so much. |

I'm enjoying the 101 arc very much, like all of the IDW 'Busters stories. It will be nice when the universes are back in their normal configuration, but for now it's a fun romp that has something for Ghostbusters fans of every generation. |

Schoening's art is, as ever, on point, with some truly great facial expressions that perfectly capture the essence of familiar characters. (Walter Peck is a standout.) Some of Delgado's flashy colors are back, with the white whale's ghost a prime example. I don't know how they make them all glowy, but they sure do look good. |

Ghostbusters 101 was a lighthearted romp, and I enjoyed it immensely. With the 2016 'Busters about to get their own book, I only hope that the main team will be back again soon, too. |

Ghostbusters International #8

Ghostbusters International is a solid, solid book, and I hope IDW keeps the franchise going. It's the most perfect realization of the Ghostbusters since Ghostbusters II. Which #8 references in the form of the photorealistic portrait of Vigo in the background of the 'Busters' office. Delightful. |

Ghostbusters: Answer The Call #1

It takes time for a new book to get going"32 pages isn't very much, after all"and I'm hopeful that this one will pick up. For the record, less Holtzmann (and no Kevin) is better. |

Ghostbusters: Funko Universe #1

I guess children might enjoy the silly, Cartoon Network (daytime)-like humor. If you're a grown up fan, there's not really much here to dig, not even the diffuse nostalgia one might usually experience with other Ghostbusters stuff. |

The comic promises to flesh out the rather threadbare narrative of the film, and I'm interested to see how Bunn and company decide to accomplish this. |
