Ghostbusters: The Other Side

Ghostbusters: The Other Side

by Keith Champagne, Tom Nguyen (Illustrator)

The first trade paperback of the exciting new series based on the successful movie and cartoon show, "The Ghostbusters: The Other Side" features all-new tales of everyone's favorite spook hunters. The only thing worse than getting on the bad side of gangsters is capturing the ghosts of some of the most historically notorious figures in organized crime. And when you upset the spirits of the mafia, you better be prepared to go to the mattresses. But when the Ghostbusters find themselves in Purgatory, they need to find a way out, and fast, before they end up spending an eternity in Hell!

There's "aura of mystery' and then there's "unexplained and gaping plot holes".

Guess which one this has.

I think this was one of the first comic book spinoffs of the Ghostbusters, and it does okay. The characters sound right for the most part, and the story, while perhaps a bit convoluted for its length, is mostly interesting. The art is sufficient to discern the different characters most of the time, although the antagonists are a bit similar in look (but there's a decent reason for that). It's occasionally funny, has some decent action, one or two plot holes wide enough for a truck, a random pretty girl for Winston to have a moment with (a plot thread that really needed a little more development) and a couple editorial decisions that left me going "really"?
I mean seriously, Heaven's going to use J. Edgar Hoover as one of its agents? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have ended up anywhere near there. But I understand his use in terms of the antagonists
All in all, it's a decent if unspectacular Ghostbusters story that is mostly inoffensive, but also unmemorable.

The styling, story, and artwork reminds me a lot of Scooby Apocalypse, I wonder if the two series have anything in common.

An enjoyable romp with the iconic early 2000's edge.

An okay Ghostbuster story. Some cute elements and humour. Doesn't really add anything of substance to GB mythos.

A fun ghostbusters story. I feel that the author captured the voices of the Ghostbusters really well.

[John Henery]

A really enjoyable Ghostbusters story. It reminded me of the old cartoon I watched as a kid. Well worth the read if your a fan.
