About the author
Erik Burnham
684 books74 followersErik Burnham is a Minnesotan writer and artist that first broke into comics with a series of humorous short stories in the Shooting Star Comics Anthology. These stories featured his original creation, Nick Landime, and culminated in a one-shot: Nick Landime vs. the World Crime League, published by Shooting Star in 2005.
Off and on, in this same time period, Erik also produced a short run of an online strip, The Down Side, until technical issues wore him down. He aims to return to the strip one day.
In 2007, Erik found produced work for two other anthologies – a short humor piece for History Graphics Press’ Civil War Adventures #1, and a horror story for Gene Simmons’ House of Horror #3, produced by IDW Publishing.
This lead to several other projects for IDW, up to and including his critically acclaimed run on the ongoing GHOSTBUSTERS comic book.
Erik has worked on other projects not related to comic books, and hopes one day to share those with the public at large. In the meantime, he still lives quietly in Minnesota; any rumors about this being because he’s completely afraid of the forty-nine other states (and Canada) remain unverified at this time.

This was another case of "I read the books out of order" as I had read another Ghostbusters crossover piece before this one. But this massive compilation covers not only an interdimensional adventure involving more than one iteration of the team, but also the quirky Ghostbusters International comics.
The first arc was a solid side adventure with a big focus on the Real Ghostbusters cartoon characters. And to have them crossover with the IDW comics versions of the same heroes made for an interesting intersection.
The International arc was a different variety of fun that had an Elon Musk-style character first trying to buy the Ghostbusters and then contracting them from the city of New York to help with hauntings around the world. This arc felt a little long, but it still managed to stick the landing.

There was a running throw-away gag from the issues collected at the back of this compilation, and when seen together it's very disappointing, because it was a collection of 'field reports' from around the country for various bustings, and those would have made better stories than what they actually used as the plots.
Also (if you can believe this), for a single issue, Walter Peck is made human, and it's moving.

The Ghostbusters head to Europe. Unlike the road trip in the first collection this excursion had a plot to go with it. A businessman rents The Ghostbusters to clear out ghosts to increase property value. Thinks aren’t anywhere close to what they appear. Crazy ghosts. Historical landmarks. Slime.
As enjoyable as the movies. Recommend for fans of the franchise and good humor.

Technically started this last year but didn't get to finish before new years. I liked it but I think I read some of the smaller volumes already.
