The new Ghostbusters series from IDW is another example of how smaller, so-called 'indy' properties are actually putting together far stronger comic books than the vast majority of the industry leaders. IDW in particular is doing a great job of bringing properties to fans - what with the excellent new take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their work with the Transformers and GI Joe properties, and their own series, such as Locke and Key.The appeal of Ghostbusters is difficult to describe. The films are naturally a slice of high-concept comedy with great performances from all involved, but that 80's flavour is incredibly important; Given all the rumours surrounding Ghostbusters 3 as a film in development, it almost sounds like Akroyd and his contemporaries have lost touch with what made the first two films great; They don't need to update Ghostbusters with more modern humour or visuals - That was the beauty of the 2010 videogame, which did a fantastic job of capturing the feel of the films. These comic books do exactly the same thing. The characters are pitch perfect, and that feel of comedy mixed in with occasionally genuinely scary horror is there in force. Some may be turned off by the visuals - which are quite cartoonish, but I think I prefer the kind of style employed in the book to an artist trying to make the characters look exactly like the actors playing them.But this is a great book. With this and the recent videogame, it's a great time to be a Ghostbusters fan. Like the game, this book deals with a handful of plot threads from the first film - in particular, what makes Ray so special? No spoilers, but it's genuinely interesting. The book doesn't contradict either film, too, and actively sits alongside the videogame's narrative and IDW's own 'Infestation' event, which this book has now actively gotten me interested in. There's also a number smart cameos (including a great one from another Dan Akroyd franchise) and jokes - fans might get a chuckle out of a line or two from Venkman about golfing, which is, of course, one of Bill Murray's more famous hobbies.Essentially, I can't recommend this enough. It plays fantastically with established Ghostbusters mythology and just feels right. If bustin' makes you feel good and you don't see the need to wait for a film that might never get made, this is for you.
