 Hey guys, welcome back to Kyle again. I'm Shannon and today I'm gonna be reviewing the 2015 Ghostbusters annual Very good story by Eric Burnham and Dan Schoening. I Look at this they Don't know how well you can see that you got Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters to World of the psychic Janine Haley Griffin just to show you the extents they went to Ray in his Ray's occult books type Clothing, you know, it's not a spitting image of the characters or of the actors anyway, but It's close enough to where It's just it's astonishing. It's almost like We're getting the animated series that we didn't get in the 90s With good with the real Ghostbusters They had to change the look and appearance of all the Ghostbusters so that they didn't have to pay the likeness rights and all that whereas with the way Dan Schoening is Doing the art on this on these guys It's You don't have the like this issues But it's not so far off to where they just look like completely different characters in this annual You have the Ghostbusters against the Sandman This isn't the Sandman that we all grew up with stories on where he'd bring people dreams and all that this is a Sandman where People who try to fight sleep who try to stay awake He comes in he puts them to sleep and then he steals their eyes and feeds them to his children You got the Ghostbusters recovering from The Ghostbusters get real story arc this takes place immediately after Ghostbusters gets real They're working on repairing the firehouse It's officially become More trouble than it's worth police detective who comes to the Ghostbusters for help because of these people waking up with their eyes completely gone skin Healed over them or whatever and they end up finding the Sandman They are all taken into the dream world where at first they don't realize they're in a dream Ray kind of puts two and two together when he discovers kind of a deja vu type thing and Then he goes to Peter Well first before he goes to Peter he come across someone who looks like one of the Blues Brothers You know I'm not a huge Blues Brothers fan. I think Dan Ackroyd's character was Elwood and I forget I forget the other one It's it's really great the bickering back and forth between the two he's kind of like Ray's spirit guide and in order to Go between dreams kicks right out of wind And then we pick up with Peter at Dana Barrett's apartment and this is when she's possessed by the gatekeeper and word-for-word it it goes up I Just whacked her up with about 300 cc's of Thorazine. She's gonna take a little nap now She says she's the gatekeeper. Does that make any sense to you? You know it makes sense to me And Peter looks up for it is Ray in Dana's clothing and he's Peter's like Egon. I'm gonna have to call it let you go I think I accidentally stuck myself with the needle Ray's trying to tell him no you didn't stick yourself. This is a dream. We're in a shared hallucination Here's how you cross over to other dream worlds any kicks Venkman out of the window So anyway, we come to Winston who's sharing an evening with his faceless wife He knows it's a dream though because he wants because it's a recurring dream Where it's a real relaxing evening without having to worry about the Ghostbusters and it pisses him off when the Ghostbusters show up It's supposed to be as one night To not have to deal with the paranormal So then we get to see Egon's dream and this is what Egon dreams He dreams of mass-solving equations and He knows he's in a dream and he's cracked the code on dreaming He knows that anything you wanted a dream you just got to think of and it'll magically appear So anyway, Egon's been staying awake for days on end trying not to sleep and the Sandman Tracks him down and he's trying to take his eye out until the Ghostbusters conjure up their packs and blast them and They end up waking up floating in mid-air and Then it explains What went down? Who the ghost was not That's just the first story of the annual Now I haven't really read all the rest they just look too goofy and cartoony for my taste They're still based on the same artwork of Dan's going But they're just kind of They're just very cartoonish. I haven't read this one yet, but it looks like The Ghostbusters have to take on that ghost from Big Trouble and Little China And that's just Little short It's called no sale and it starts out with the spirit He says and that is the offer Egon Spengler in Exchange for my freedom and your soul. I will grant you whatever you desire Name it and Egon looks up at him He says I need to I desire the total and immediate Disincorporation of your form and consciousness at the subatomic level you wish oblivion on me try again Okay, look down look down I've been bested no He gone just drops a trap right up And it looks like there's a story in here of Louis Tully called the nuclear option get another cartoonish one a world of the psychic episode Like I said, I haven't read all the way through this but These guys do a great job on Ghostbusters. I love I love the work especially when Eric Burnham and and Dan sconing team up just the Just the way they write and that Eric writes and Dan draws is just It's amazing. I've waited a long time for Comics like this of the Ghostbusters It it's just so surreal they they take it straight from the movies and the cartoons and the video game and just I Can't say enough good things about it So if you guys have a chance Let me go back to the beginning here All right, so if you guys have a chance pick up the 2015 Ghostbusters annual from IDW publishing Great work. I promise I promise you guys won't regret it if you like the Ghostbusters movie If you like the real Ghostbusters Ghostbusters 1 and 2 the answer the call Ghostbusters even if you don't like the answer the call Ghostbusters and You prefer the originals go out to your local comic shop go on Amazon or Connexology and get you some Ghostbusters comics great work. I I can't say enough good things about it Next I'm gonna be reading once I finish up with what I'm reading now I'm gonna be reading one of the holiday specials that Dan recommended for me Which involves these Ghostbusters going up against the boogeyman And then it's a Can original take on the boogeyman not like the boogeyman from the real Ghostbusters even though that one was good Cuz I had tweeted Dan a few days ago and asked him if they were ever going to do a These Ghostbusters going up against the boogeyman and he told me That they already had and it was during this holiday special I know I've already I've got it on comicsology right now. I haven't transferred it over here yet I don't think for me, but he recommended it to me. So I'm gonna read it next and I hope I enjoyed as much as I like all the others I would have probably gone a different route with boogeyman though as I mentioned to him I would probably make the real Ghostbusters boogeyman be almost like a Dark side type character of IDW's multiverse the same boogeyman Traveling through the multiverse dealing with the different versions of the Ghostbusters and just being this ultimate threat but you know they did their own thing and That's cool, too. So I'll probably review be reviewing that in a couple weeks. Well So Yeah, check it out guys 2015 annual Ghostbusters annual by IDW publishing Take care
