Ghostbusters 101 #1
"Let's Do The Space-Warp Again!" Before they began investigating the supernatural, most of the original Ghostbusters were teachers... and they've decided it's time they start sharing their knowledge again. But when their first batch of students start poking around the firehouse and accidentally set in motion the merging of two universes (it's easier than you'd think) Venkman, Stantz, Zeddemore, and Spengler will need all the help they can get to put things right! And who do you think will Answer The Call? (If you guessed Holtzmann, Yates, Tolan, and Gilbert... you get a gold star!) It's a brand new inter-dimensional meeting of the minds, starting here!

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.

April 10, 2017The beginning made me feel nostalgic! I have many memories of watching the cartoon in the afternoons back in elementary school.

I've been curious of this one because of the crossover between the two universes. My biggest problem with Answer The Call was Paul Feig and how he, Sony and the cast handled the fanbase and P.R. So having the characters by other people was exciting for me. I love the idea of alternate dimensions and you know what? For a set up issue, this was kinda fun. The Ghostbusters felt like how they should and the ATC Ghostbusters seemed interesting. I'm curious and a little excited to see what's in store. Definitely picking up #2!

5 of My Quick Thoughts on Ghostbusters #101
1. I am a Ghostbusters fan (new movie, not the originals), but most of the technical language went right over my head. It's very confusing, and that information slowed the plot down.
2. Like I said, I am a fan of the new Ghostbusters movie. I am a fan of it because I love kickass women working together, and I am completely uninterested in male-driven narrative. Focus on the newbie Ghostbusters or my movie gals, not a group of dudes.
3. Why doesn't the movie gang of Ghostbusters just have their own comic book adaptation? I'd buy the heck out of that. Why do we need three different groups of Ghostbusters, one of whom I don't even care about?
4. This first issue requires way too much backstory for a reader to have before enjoying.
5. I'd actually prefer to wait for the trade of this to come out because maybe it will get better. Maybe?

I like the writing quite a lot.
The art is something that will need to grow on me. Ray and Peter are difficult to differentiate for me.
Also, the angles on the faces takes some getting used to. It isn't bad so much as heavily stylized.

The album version comes out in December but I LOVE this series so damn much I can't wait that long. I will, however, wait to review the entire arc as one book, rather than as individual issues.

Fun. Would be better without the typos and grammatical mistakes.

The original and the 2016 came together! And yes! More Holtzmann!
