Tom Nguyen, the series artist has been posting over on GBFans, and today he updated the topic, letting us know that Newsarama had a five page preview of Ghostbusters: The Other Side #1, apparently scheduled for release tomorrow!):

Looks freakin amazing. Nice looking artwork, good dialog so far, really excited for this. When's it ship again?

Tomorrow apparently.

Does that mean that we should be able to pick it up tomorrow, or just that it's being shipped to the dealers and is “street dated” for the 15th (much like the now delayed video game which was set to ship on the 14th and street dated the 21st)?

Comic books are always released in comic shops every Wednesday. If there is some kind of national holiday in the States on Monday or Tuesday, the in-store date is changed to Thursday. The date Diamond gives for shipping is the expected in store date.

Hmm, I didn't see it on Diamond's release list. I'd recommend checking with your store first if you're going to go out of your way to find it tomorrow.

Graham Crackers is saying it comes out on the 15th and will ship to customers who ordered online on that day, so that's the release date I'm going with. I wouldn't be going running around to comic shops today hoping to find it boys.

It's not on Diamond's shipping list or Graham Cracker's email for this week. I'd say it probably is not coming out this week.

Just got off the phone with the local shop here. Nothing this week.

“I don't believe it! I think we're witnessing a case of otherwordly possession!”

Ray Stantz has never seen such a thing! Not even considering this is after GBII in continuity! When he, himself, experienced otherwordly possession!

Alright, I know that is just me being nit picky but come on– they're the Ghostbusters. Otherworldy Possession to them is the equivalent of taking out your Garbage. It happens once a week and can be kind of annoying if the trash can stinks.

Other than that I think this looks like a lost, mis-colored NOW! comics Real Ghostbusters issue. As far as the artwork goes I'm disappointed by the lack of detail in the linework, specifically on the first page with the city scapes. I'm kinda perturbed that with all of the talent working in the industry today we're getting some bargin bin artwork and what, so far, appears to be some exceptionally weak dialogue. Its only 5 pages but so far this feels like knockoff Ghostbusters rather than, ugh, real Ghostbusters.

Nothing like stumbling out of the gate and hitting your teeth on a rock on the way down 'boys.
