We're shown the interdimensional transport unit by Kylie Griffin and Witness their first alternate dimension a Dimension that holds a whole nother group of Ghostbusters ready for more Let's go so this story Stars dr. Peter Venkman dr. Ray stands Egon Spangler Winston Zedemore With support staff from Kylie Griffin, Kevin Tanaka, Janine Melnitz and Jenny Moran who is a former ghost smasher But more so she's a ghost She's a good ghost who helps the Ghostbusters in teaching these students the 101 class Kate Hanner Zoe Zawadsky Evan Torres and introducing The answer to the call Ghostbusters dr. Abbey Yates dr. Aaron Gilbert dr. Jillian Holtzman Patty Tolin and Kevin Beckman. So here we are chapter two of the six-part story Let's show the new guy the magic door in the basement the comic opens on a golf course being haunted and the answer the call Ghostbusters show up and of course Holtzman makes a snide comment. I heard someone is having trouble with their balls So anyway Abbey is still trying to capture a spirit a ghost for study so far She's ran out of luck every time she tries the team destroy the ghosts and Then Aaron is back at the firehouse doing paperwork Getting the books in order and she's not too thrilled with it, especially since Holtzman and Kevin are using the Ghostbusters professional bank account to buy outrageous items Kevin orders a dozen cans of spray cheese and he uses them to create a beard and big ol blonde Gooey hair looking for his head all the while in those standard universe a Commercial comes on the air for the Ghostbusters. Oh, no, it's a ghost There's only one thing to do throw them ghost busting. It's only for the professionals, right? Well, not anymore. Have you ever wanted to see what makes an unruly operation tick or operate a fully licensed nuclear accelerator and other fabulous equipment under controlled conditions or learn every bit of lore there is to know Well now you can Introducing Ghostbusters 101 where for slightly less than the cost of a decent used car You can not only inform yourself about every kind of spook, ghoul and ghosty in the tri-state area You can bust one safely in our state-of-the-art facility in a red hook and if you show some promise You yes, you could be recruited into the advanced program and trained for potential placement as a full-time Ghostbuster with great pay and benefits Recruitment not guaranteed. Don't waste any time. This is your big chance ghostbusters at that moment while Janine is Speaking with one of the new recruits the one of the members of the 101 class Dr. Carla Parker walks through the front door and asks to see Peter Venkman. She's there with her son Garrett now This is where things get a little bit a little different I spoke with Eric Burnham on Twitter last night after I read this and it seems Garrett is loosely based on Both Roland and Garrett from the extreme Ghostbusters He has the appearance of Roland the name of Garrett and he is Different while not entirely confirmed in the story You can kind of spot what I'm talking about here. But like I said Eric didn't completely Confirm it to me It was just kind of he didn't deny it either during the course of Garrett joining the one-on-one class. He shows specific qualities that normally are reserved for people with autism Like I said, it's not it doesn't flat out state that he has autism But the way Dapper Dan drew him and the way Eric Burnham wrote him You can if you're familiar at all with autism if you know anybody with autism you can see The characteristics in him. He doesn't look anybody straight in the eye Which is a big characteristic of autism He notices things that most other people wouldn't like one of the one-on-one class members Kevin walks with a limp that nobody else really noticed and Garrett he noticed right away, but Kevin invites Garrett upstairs to be shown around and Garrett says sir How did you lose your your leg and of course Kevin is he says why do you think I've lost my leg? I saw a lady with with a prosthetic in the hospital last week You you walk with the same kind of limp apparently as a child Kevin Not the Kevin from answer the call Ghostbusters this other Kevin from the main universe He had childhood cancer and his leg was amputated I believe at the age of four not entirely sure Let me just double-check on that and it says it was amputated just above the knee as when he was a child But it doesn't really go into further detail Even most of his The other one-on-one class members and the Ghostbusters themselves didn't even notice even when he wore shorts a few days a few days earlier it's also revealed that Garrett's dad was suffering through cancer and One of his coping mechanisms is to study the paranormal And that's why his mom brings him to the Ghostbusters to join the 101 class to cope with his dad dying from cancer It's at this time the other members of the 101 class are taught by Jenny who at that moment Just before he walks in reveals herself as a class for Semi-corporeal manifestation these types of manifestations. She explains have stronger ties to the physical world than most ghosts They we can pass as fully human down to tangibility a pke reading is the only Guaranteed way to be sure and you want to be sure so it continues on the 101 class take Garrett down to the basement and show him the gateway This gateway is the same gateway the Ghostbusters used To meet the real Ghostbusters from the animated series. It's the same gateway. They used to get the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to their own universe So on and so forth. They let Garrett stick his hand through there through the gateway and suddenly a ghost grabs his hand and He quickly pulls his hand out and they shut the gate bringing part of the ghost with it It's at that time Janine walks in and discovers what the 101 class has done and She's not too happy with her niece and her niece's friends But then in the alternate universe the ghost who loses a piece of himself through the dimensional gateway He realizes that he's in two Places at the same time. He can still feel that part of him that's Unattached so he decides He's gonna figure out how to cross over into the other universe. It's at that time that back at the firehouse the answer the call of Ghostbusters are doing what they do and as Kevin and Abby are talking Kevin somehow sees transparent versions of Peter and Ray Walking up the stairs. He asks Abby if We know anyone named It's at this time that issue number two comes to an end And a great issue. I like the fact that Eric and Dapper Dan are Have kind of merged Roland and Garrett from the extreme Ghostbusters into one person And rather than being wheelchair bound. He's now autistic Which is really great because until now they're there haven't really been Many autistic characters in comic books I'm not marvel not dc not image and if you guys recall back in the 90s when extreme Ghostbusters came out It was a big deal that they had a Ghostbuster in a wheelchair um They received a dozen awards or so from disabled Charities or whatever for showing that even wheeled about wheelchair bound people can be heroes Um great story. I can't wait to see where they go with this. I'm almost starting to wonder if they're gonna mert Merge the two universes together completely This is a six issue story But that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be over with At the end of issue six. This could be a way for both All the Ghostbusters teams to join together in one singular universe and with the 101 class Coming about we're about to get another new team of Ghostbusters, which is really great And I saw a tweet a tweet on a twitter at one point about edwardo um edwardo He's just a kind of a background character right now Store helper at rey's a cult books. He and kyle griffin work together there But edwardo, he's not really a member of the Ghostbusters like rey and kyle are he's just uh support staff at Rey's a cult books and he's actually the one who was initially uh aware of Gozer's sister's Return in the mass hysteria comics He's the one who gozer sister thiamat introduced herself to first before Dana barrett before lewis talli It was edwardo So i'm really interested in seeing how they develop edwardo's character He seems to be slightly different than his extreme Ghostbusters counterpart So that's going to be interesting He doesn't really hate on kyle as much as he does in the In the show Oh, no, I can't wait to see how this How this continues we currently have the Ghostbusters international, which is just a makeshift team of one of the main Ghostbusters along with janine And melanie ortiz, which is the fbi agent and so on We have the Ghostbusters chicago branch, which is the rookie from Ghostbusters video game along with the former ghost smashers and Now we've got this Ghostbusters 101 class and the answer the call Ghostbusters as well as the main Ghostbusters So this is a really interesting story. They're they're expanding the Ghostbusters universe nicely I hope that once they're finished That we get that we get more titles that we get more Ghostbusters titles to read and to look forward to as of right now Ghostbusters is mainly just a mini series multiple mini series Like mass hysteria like pain and love like Ghostbusters 101 Ghostbusters and inch turtles Ghostbusters meet the real Ghostbusters and so on maybe with them building up The Ghostbusters cast the way they are Hopefully we'll get more stories out of it Like we'll have the main Ghostbusters Then we'll have we'll get a Ghostbusters chicago issue or title a new Ghostbusters international title And then maybe an answer the call Ghostbusters title and Ghostbusters 101 title. I really like this I would give this issue a 10 out of 10. I can't say enough good things about it And from what eric told me on twitter yesterday is that the reason he he did Garrett the way he did was A lot of people Have been Saying to him well, what about the other members of the extreme Ghostbusters? Why isn't so and so in it? Why isn't so and so in it? So this was his way of getting out in front of it. It was a nod to the fans of extreme Ghostbusters You have this guy that looks like roland who's named Garrett He's not really disabled But he can relate to people outside of the comics in a way that Garrett did In the extreme Ghostbusters episodes So anyway, that's my review of Ghostbusters 101 issue number two Check it out. It's out on stands now at your local comic book shop comics ology Make sure you guys go out and pre-order the rest of the Ghostbusters 101 series This is a great series.
