Coming soon to a timezone, or nearest convenient parallel dimension near you:

GHOSTBUSTERS: DISPLACED AGGRESSION!



io9 has scored a exclusive preview of four covers of, and three pages of the new IDW miniseries, Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression.

To preview the art, and read a brief synopsis of the story, follow the link:

I have to say, this artwork is a vast improvementon The Other Side. The colours are vivid and dynamic, there does appear to be a sense of action and movement in the panels… and the characters, if the covers and preview panels are anything to go by, seem more suitably designed.

And man, those ghost cowboys are just sinister.


It's also a story that doesn't involve as major a leap of faith then that plot point that hung over The Other Side and in the end, was handled badly: How the Ghostbusters were gonna be brought back to life.


I'm genuinely excited to see this. Whilst the quality of writing is yet to be seen, I love this artwork.

awesome!!!!!!

can't wait for these…

I like what IDW has done with Angel & Spike…hope this is just as good.

and the chick's name is Rachel Unglighter

Aw, crap. “Egon, Venkman, Ray, Winston, and some Super Special New Ghostbuster You Never Heard Of Before.” It's not a good sign when the plot summary starts off like 95% of the worst of bad fanfiction.

(*janine)–“Female Ghostbuster? Don't we have one of those already?”

Ah well, that and the plot similarities to “Tobin and the Maze of Time” aside, Scott Lobdell earns a shot.

You say that like its a bad thing

The art is definitely an improvement… vastly.

It sounds like an interesting concept. It does somewhat resemble a fan fiction story, with the new Ghostbuster being added… but I'm definitely willing to give it a shot.

Very excited.

Any idea on release date?

Any idea on release date?

Nothing yet, I've taken a look around but so far no hits.

I imagine there's probably a few months between now and the first issue hitting stands. July at the earliest, maybe?

The guys themselves whined about the pack weight, what would the girl say?

Plus women tend to make a mess when integrated in a men group.
