review:
'Ghostbusters International' by Erik Burnham with art by Dan Schoening finds the team on an international trip to hunt ghosts around the globe.
Success is a good thing, but it can be too much of a good thing. When the team is sought out with an attractive buy out offer, the city steps in and agrees to take all the profits, leaving some of the team a bit disgruntled. The new deal sends the team internationally to Venice, then to Paris (my review copy only had the Venice portion of the story). The hope is that ghosts can be cleared out of valuable property, then resold for profit, but there seems to be more going on than meets the eye. The team finds a bunch of non-malevolent spirits lurking about Venice and then they find a ghostly plague doctor haunting an old building that used to serve as a prison and a mental hospital.
My copy was only the first half of the story, but I know they head off to Paris next. It's an okay story, but it only seems to serve to get the team out of town and into other locations like old tv shows would do. I don't have a sense of how this fits into a larger story, but it's the Ghostbusters and there are ghosts to be trapped, so it's good enough.
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.
