review:

When the real Ghostbusters are trapped in another dimension, it's time for a back up team to take their place and try to figure out what is going on. The backup team consists of Janine, their secretary, Kylie Griffith, who runs Ray's bookstore, Special Agent Melanie Ortiz and convict Ray Alexander. If you don't know who most of those characters are, there is enough background given to fill you in.



This graphic novel contains 4 issues of the series with a short secondary story that follows the adventures of a ghost into the containment unit.



The art is caricature of the characters from the movie, and there are references in the background to the movie and the original series. The fourth included issue wraps up the previous three, but feels like a filler with more exposition than previously, and it does end on a cliffhanger. This made it less than satisfying for me, but I found the first 3 issues fun, with government bureaucrats attempting to market the new team and make money off of them.
