  Ghostbusters: Year One is giving me a story I didn't know I wanted. I thought I knew everything about these characters and their first adventure, but it's clear the movie is just scraping the surface. If this first issue is any indication, we are in for a treat, mixing nostalgia with a damn good story and top-notch artwork. Read Full Review

  One heck of a good time!! You're really going to thank yourself for buying this issue. While it's a stand-alone story, there's a couple of threads connecting the series so do yourself a favor and reserve the whole series from your comic store! Read Full Review

  This was not only a fun comic to read, but it also fills in several gaps in the history of one of the fans favorite characters. Writer Erik Burnham pens a fun and funny beginning of the series. You can tell he is a fan of the characters and movies; it shows in the dialogue and storyline. The art by Dan Schoening is also fantastic. His style looks reminiscent of the animated series from the 90s. The style adds to the fun tone of the series. Read Full Review

  Dan Schoening has some dynamic and beautiful artwork in this issue. The characters pop off the page and the panels complement the story both in the character focus and the action. Read Full Review

  The focus on Winston is an inspired choice, especially since he's generally considered the least fleshed-out member of the team (as far as the films go). Here, he gets the attention he rightly deserves, providing his own perspective of the film's events and his role in them. Read Full Review

  Ghostbusters: Year One #1 kicks off what feels like could be a fun series. I also expect there's more to what's presented. The team has a nice grasp of fitting in new knowledge and deliver enough winks and nods for long-time fans. A must for fans of Ghostbusters or want a good chuckle. Read Full Review

  Ghostbusters: Year One #1 is an interesting look into the first year of everyone's favorite paranormal investigators. We get some much-needed detail to the character of Winston Zeddemore and how he came into the fold. If you are a fan of the Ghostbusters movie then this will be a fun and interesting read for you. I am no Ghostbusters superfan, but as someone who grew up on the movie and cartoon this was a fun read. Now, if you have no clue what a Ghostbuster is, then this is a terrible place to start.

  A solid debut with some storytelling slip-ups, "Ghostbusters: Year One" #1 is enjoyable but much more so to dedicated fans of the franchise. Read Full Review

  Elevating the immersive reading experience even further though, has to be Schoenings mouth-wateringly good pages, which genuinely look like stills taken from an animated motion picture. Dapper Dan clearly sees Zeddemore as a really lovable character and does a terrific job of imbuing Winston with all the fears and uncertainties one might expect from a novice Ghostbuster solely through the mans expressive eye movements.
