I still argue that the Slimer! spinoff episodes represent the worst parts of the franchise. That and Baby Spookums.

Anyway, I encourage everyone to at least flip through the book if you see a copy on display… just to give it as best a chance you can.

Well, you're absolutely right.

Holy crap, Jack Hardemeyer! All of a sudden, I care about the plot of this book.

It looks ok…definately better than the cover. But I would have to see more before getting that excited about it.

Am I the only one to have bought it so far?


Its not bad, I enjoyed it.

I of course hate the art and manga style, but whada gonna do. As stated previously, I'll buy any story about my boys.


Buy them all, make them order more, and buy those!

I bought it too. Hope its a good read. I too ain't into manga but since it was GB I thought why not? There hasn't been much GB reading merchandise other than one novel a few years ago, the Legion comic and now this and the new IDW GB comic. It has 6 chapters but I don't if their the same story. I also liked that it was slightly bigger than the typical manga book thats in digest size. It seemed a little more like a larger book novel size. Shouldn't this topic be in the GB comics thread?

It should be, now.

I just bought my copie of the manga ghostbusters comic. I did not like the art of the first chapter. I love to see different styles and visions of artists, since I draw by myself ( fan comicghostbusters the final destruction comic ) it's nice to learn from others. I think the next story was a bit better. Also the art was a bit better. I still have to read a lot of pages. For now I can say that I do like the IDW comic art much and much more.

Best regards,

I honestly didn't really like the manga very much. This post is gonna have some spoilers in it, so if you have yet to read, there's fair warning.

If I was grading the manga, I'd give it a D. The first and last stories were not good in my opinion. The manga style of humor and Ghostbusters just don't mix for me. I'm not trying to bash the style, I'm just saying that style and Ghostbusters, for me, are like water and oil. The characters didn't really act like the characters very much at all. I think the same stories could have been used with different characters who weren't even paranormal investigators. I dunno, just some kind of generic anime thing where there was supernatural stuff going on. The last one especially bugged me because they tried to tie it into Gozer and make a play on the forces at work in Ghostbusters II, but instead of the city's anger, it's the city's vanity, and it just didn't work for me.
I thought the stories in the middle and the plot with Hardemeyer were okay. There were some weird character things that bugged me, like Winston apparently keeps machine guns in the Ecto-1? Overall, it kind of reminded me of Real Ghostbusters, which was good, but I still think the characters weren't quite captured right and that's got to be one of the most important things about Ghostbusters.
I liked the art enough in all the stories, I suppose. I am a fan of the style, but again, for Ghostbusters, they kind of don't mix. All the anime characters look young and it's just another way I felt they didn't quite capture who the GBs are.

Loving this thing so far. I really adore the style in the first story.

And unlike many GB comics, this one actually managed to make me laugh.

it's out now? holy crap I got a buy this~!
