SAN DIEGO, CA (January 24, 2019) \u2013\u00a0Are you troubled by strange noises in the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter, or ghost?<\/em>\u00a0If the answer is yes, then four fearless Ghostbuster teams are here to serve your supernatural elimination needs, courtesy of IDW!<\/div>\n

In celebration of the 35th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em><\/strong>, IDW Publishing will release a different\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em>\u00a0comic weekly in April, each focusing on a different team, including the original \u201cPrime\u201d team from the classic film, the Real Ghostbusters of 1980s cartoon fame, the all-female team that \u201cAnswered the Call\u201d in 2016, and the next generation of Extreme Ghostbusters!<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2008, IDW has published an amazing library of \u2018Busters from multiple dimensions and times, written and illustrated by a diverse crew of mega-talented creators\u2026 so what better way is there to celebrate this special anniversary than by showing off the eclectic cast from\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em>\u00a0projects far and wide?\u201d says Senior Editor\u00a0Tom Waltz<\/strong>. \u201cFans, old and new, can again expect the best of the best in full four-color,\u00a0SLIMERRIFIC<\/em>\u00a0glory!\u201d<\/p>\n

IDW Editor-in-Chief\u00a0John Barber<\/strong>\u00a0says, “Ghostbusters<\/em>\u00a0has been an important part of IDW Publishing for more than a decade, and thanks to everybody at Sony and Ghost Corps, it\u2019s been an amazing eleven years. With\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em>\u00a0hitting such a milestone anniversary, it\u2019s time to celebrate every facet of the team\u2019s history\u2026 and to get ready for everything that\u2019s coming next!”<\/p>\n
