Yo!
Can't help to notice that the Newsarama preview only has 2 comments about the preview, and one being very negative.
In defense of IDW I will state that they are a big company that knows how to publish on time. So my criticism is not about the company but about how the title looks from the preview.
Sure I'm criticizing something only 5 pages long but when I saw it I instantly thought : RGB writing style. And the results, so far, does not strike me as being a good creative choice.
I would never have had dead gangster ghosts talk some plot back in my day, that is way too RGB to me. If you want a RGB book then go all the way with it, same if you prefer more serious movie style.
The artisitic choice on the boys looks seems to me they tried to copy Legion but staying far enough away not to be compared to it. The results does nothing for me. Not dissing on the artist, the editor must have had strict rules about it.
As for the writing, well Venkman would never BANG open a door and go all YO JOE on some ghosts. He is FAR from being the hero type. Remember, he ditched first when Stay-Puft exploded. And Ray has never seen that many ghost in the same place ? Wha ?!? Possesed Venkman does nothing for me either.
I still have yet to see how the firehouse and car will look. Hopefully the old miller-meteor will be in all her 1959 glory.
Nothing against IDW but I won't be buying it, not out of spite but lack of interest in RGB style writing. Plus the preview is supposed to WOW potential readers. I am a potential reader, but the preview does nothing for me.
I am eager to play the game though.
Cheers
