review:
'Ghostbusters: The New Ghostbusters' by Erik Burnham collects issues 1-4 of the IDW Ghostbusters series from 2013. It's a timely story considering the subject and the upcoming movie release.

The Ghostbusters have been captured and have vanished. Months go by and there is still a need for a team to deal with the spirits of New York, so receptionist Janine Melnitz, goth Kylie Griffin, and special agent Melanie Ortiz take over the role along with Ron Alexander, who has been in jail for impersonating the Ghostbusters. The mayor has stupid ideas for promoting the new team (like putting them in shorts and making them endorse products). Meanwhile, the original team may not be all that gone after all.

I like the characters and the few times I've read these supporting characters, I've wanted them to have a bigger part to play. It's a fun outing, and the art is pretty good. The humor is right where it needs to be. Recommended for fans of the original movie.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
