Okay, cool. Much thanks goes to Dr. Riddle for clarifying that.

Mr.Jacobs: well this isn't going to happen. unless the need for a law and order comic comes around (which is pretty funny to think about). But if you want a TRON crossover, you have good chance of it sometime in the future.

Quite true, quite true. ‘Course, there’s a possibilty of a crossover with maybe Dark Horse ir Image. They seem like the two companies that would most likely have a cross-over with GB. As for the need for a ‘L&O“ comic, it could happen. I mean, ”CSI" has it’s own series.

Here's a thought on the Egon and Janine thing in the comic: Why not have her “chase” Egon for several issues. Hell, they did that on Frasier with Niles and Daphne. He tried to get her attention for several seasons. And if they do get together, fine. But it just won't be as interesting. The tension won't be there anymore.

I'd love to see Egon and Janine have a relationship. I think it would also be interesting to dive into the ghostbusters pasts and maybe even some family relationships.

No EGB! No EGB at all! Now that that's out of my system…

What about a rival Ghostbusting group popping up? One that'd give the GBs s*** for their “violent” techniques.

Maybe a group of Excorsists:The Father and Priest from “Exorsist” and perhaps one based on Doc Harvey from “Casper.” ‘Course, then you could establish a bit of continuity for when Ray went up to Maine to bust the Ghostly Trio.

::thinks for a second::

Naaaahhhh…. That’d suck.

a Rival GB group wouldn't suck t'all! It'd only make sense that someone else would be out there trying to capitalize on they're acheivements and tech.

I also wouldn't mind an explaination as to why no-one believes in ghosts in GBII… but since GBII might not even happen in the comic reality, its a ….moot point.

I totally agree and I look forward to what the comics and the new novel (which is set after GB II) has to say about the enterprise of Ghostbustering and the day to day stuff we got to see (partly) in RGB but never saw in the movies since they were more focused on getting rid of large ghosts.

it seems that is what aykroyd has wanted for quite some time. the second draft of the GB script ends with the GBs being a large franchise. also, the first draft of HELLBENT has the GBs as a large corporation with many employees.

I like that idea, but I would want to see the transition. I wouldn't feel really comfortable with GB III, the novel, comic, or anything related to open with the GBs owning a huge franchise.

I would want to see the nitty gritty day to day stuff, and then see a better funded company try to compete. Chock full of a organization and different methodologies we could see the two outfits compete. The Ghostbusters would be more like Ghost Janitors, having to be resourceful, but they are on top of their game. They invented Ghostbusting and they know what's up.

You could see the other, well funded outfit, copying off the Ghostbusters and see them get into a few jams where the GBs would have to clean up their messes. The GBs get funding from the board of directors of the competing outfit and they grow into a huge corporation, that is a whole other chapter in of itself.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'm all for the franchising angle. I just think we need to see the transition and the more day to day activities.

Alright everyone. I've done some MUCH NEEDED cleaning up in this thread (Deleting off-topic replies, flames, etc.). So everyone keep on feeding the positivity to this thread! :-)

The things I'd like to see in this comic, that haven't already been covered, are- A remake of the Ragnarok and Roll episode of RGB, this was probably the best episode, in my opinion, and I'd love to see what could be done with modern comic art technology and the chrome eyes the antagonist of that episode had. I'd like to see issues that show the normal, human side of the characters, like, one of my favorite issues of X-Men was an issue revolving around thanksgiving, and featured the characters doing yardwork, playing football, ect. I want to see stuff like that once in a while. It would be interesting to see some form of love-triangle-like-thing form between Egon, Janine, and some 3rd character, or maybe with venkman, dana, and almost every woman venkman meets, which would explain why dana ran off with ‘the stiff’. It would also be great to see cases based on actual hauntings, legends, and folk lore.And finally, several more plot ideas and concepts and nemesises from RGB i don't feel like mentioning individually

One thing I don't want to see is Ecto-2, or at least the helicopter ecto 2 from RGB. there's nothing ecto-2 could do that a crop duster and an alcoholic pilot couldn't do better.
