Hmm, the fact that there will be a new Ghostbusters comic excites me a little bit, since deep down I do like Ghostbusters. However, I wonder about the direction of the comic book. I loved the original movie and even the sequel. But I wonder if this new series will be a modern-day retelling of the story, or if it will be based on the original 1980s storyline. The artwork looks like it is aimed at a newer generation, and makes them all appear younger than they were in the original movies. I do like the artwork though.
The details:
-Ghostbusters 2, the Real Ghostbusters, and Extreme Ghostbuster are not cannon... only Ghostbusters 1
-The story is set 'now' but the GB's haven't aged, they're still rather young.
-the technology in the comics is all 'homemade'as they're living off university pay checks and 'extermination' fees unlike in the cartoon were everything they owned was uber slick and looked expensive.
-__- it's been my dream to draw a Ghostbusters comic forever, and now the chance comes along but I can't draw worth shit... irony thy name is Slimer!! (well, Onionhead in the new comics since that's what he's called in GB1)

No, no, I was referring to the Ghostbusters that was composed of a two man team, a skinny blonde guy and a fat guy. There's also the gorilla and their Ford model car with a ghost face at the front.
Yeah, I remember this cartoon. I must have been 6 or 7 years old when I originally saw it. It was made by some B-grade animation studio (Filmation?) that tried to capitalize on all sorts franchises and turn them into cartoon series (like Pinnochio) and made some really horrible cartoons (I think there was one called monster high). I remember the talking car, and how the heroes had to get into a "phonebooth" that sent them to the spirit world just to get their gear. Hell, I even remember thattheme song: "Lets go, Ghostbusters, let's go. LETS GO LETS GO!"
I think since because this series predated the official animated series that the name "The REAL Ghostbusters" was added to the real series with Venkman, Spengler, and company.

Still, this is even more confusing. But then, I'm sure there are differences between the movie and the comic book storylines. In the movie, Venkman,Spengler, and Stanz were kicked out of the university.
But I can understand the homemade portions of the technology. That's how it was in the movie. I remember some quip about having a "Particle Accelerator" strapped to their backs. And its a good thing there is no High-Tech Containment System. I liked the compact 'mailbox' look of it in the original movie, complete with that red light. Maybe they'll finally explain how that thing works.

Tbank you, now I have that song stuck in my head AND IT'S DRIVIN' ME NUTS! heheh :)
You are right about where the "Real" part of the name comes from. Strangely enough, I read (though I don't remember where) that Filmation's Ghostbusters was actually based on a live action kids show from the 70s I think, but of course, they were hoping to cash in the popular movie.
