This was okay. It didn't overly impress me, but there was still a lot to like about this.
One problem I have is that it's really kind of difficult to determine (until you hit a reading order chart at the very back of the book) that this is set after nine plus volumes of the regular Ghostbusters comic series. If I had known that before I picked it up, I probably would have held off reading this until I was further in the main arc. Even still, it wasn't too difficult to follow the story even though I was unfamiliar with a couple of characters.
The other problem is that they partially split up the team, with Egon stuck in New York with an injury while the others are away internationally. I felt like a big portion of the usual team banter was missing without a key member there to contribute, and that's definitely a shame since their banter is part of what makes Ghostbusters so fun.
The art is fun, the characters still feel true to how they were portrayed in the movies. I'm curious to see where the plot ends up going next.

Another great addition from my beloved Ghostbusters IDW team. The extended Olympia Cafe reference definitely got me, guys!

To be honest, I wasn‰ЫЄt overly impressed by this ARC.
It‰ЫЄs hard to review a comic without the up-front material (cover, title page, etc.); or without the ending of the story. There‰ЫЄs an epilogue, but then it says ‰ЫПTo Be Continued‰Ыќ? It‰ЫЄs a bit confusing. And you can‰ЫЄt even tell how much of the story is missing.
The story itself, was ok. The art was decent. But even then, it wasn‰ЫЄt anything I would fall over myself recommending. It wasn‰ЫЄt as funny as a Ghostbusters comic should be.
