Ray: C'mon, we're scientists. Dispassionate is what we do."
Melanie: "Tell me another one. You get excited about everything, Dr. Stantz."
Ray: "Yes, but objectively."
Goddamnit I love him. I love him so much. I cannot wait to see him again.
Another home run on the Ghostbusters IDW front! At least we have this.

Among the first sets of videos I got when my kids were born was “The Real Ghostbusters “. Ever who knows the score knows that this animated series packed hundreds of quality stories into the world established in the first Ghostbusters movie (we don’t speak of the sequel).
The animated series is fantastic. These comics do a decent job of capturing some of that magic. There are smart character moments - getting Ray right is particularly challenging, and it was really fun to see it work out.
The shoehorned new members are cringe-worthy sometimes and don’t represent women very well, something comics should know better by now (but some things are slow to change). The guys get “objective empiricist who ironically runs an occult bookshop and maintains a sunny disposition” - the ladies get “funny hair and chews gum” or “bombshell FBI agent”.
Fun, though - and written by capable talent who clearly cares to do it right!
