Going hand in hand nicely with Tom Bunk’s Ghostbusters Garbage Pail Kid from two years ago are these two pieces by artist Luis Diaz. Check out more of his art here. Nods to Grim Santos for the link.

IDW teases upcoming 4-part Summer event!
IDW editor/writer/honcho/mench Tom Waltz sent over this teaser image for an upcoming, four-part, Summer event in the monthly Ghostbusters comic. And “event” doesn’t seem to suffice. At a guess, I’m thinking the teaser image will be covers for each of the four parts, but more on that later. According to Waltz, the event kicks off in issue #9 (May according to the image teaser). Stay tuned and don’t forget to ask you local comic shop to bring it in for you!
No good idea goes un-nicked.
A couple of years back, the first poster below, by Sean Hartter, popped up online as part of an ongoing series of spoof-retro movie posters. Today, an exact lift of the idea – sort of a what-if-Hammer-Studios made Ghostbusters poster – appeared online (seen below). One expects it`s someone that felt they could do better than Sean (and depending on your tastes, perhaps they did), but it`s hard to credit them without knowing where it came from. But at least we can give another nod to Sean.

Justin Ishmael hints at possible Mondo GB poster, explains why none yet.
The long and the short of it is this – The Alamo Draft House is famous for it’s revival screenings, which include a lot of guest speakers and in particular, super-awesome movie posters. But when they did Ghostbusters a couple of years back, people wanted to know why a poster never materialized. Older Ghostheads can probably guess why (likeness rights), but the head of Mondo Creative – makers and marketers of said super-awesome posters – Justin Ishmael has made it clear that they wanted to make and sell a poster, and they still do if they can ever sort it all out.
Thanks to Tyler for the heads up!
Amazon taking pre-orders on first IDW trade paperback
Amazon has listed Ghostbusters Volume 1 – a trade paperback collection of the first issues of the ongoing series by IDW. While there isn’t any mention of which issues are included (either on Amazon or in the Previews comic catalog), the blurb does suggest the first four issues;
Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, specter, or ghost? If the answer is yes, call the professionals! Psychokinetic energy is on the rise again, business is booming for the boys, and Ray is troubled by what could be a prophetic dream. Is this an ill omen of an upcoming apocaplypse, or just a little indigestion?
While the book is suggested at $17.99, Amazon is offering it at $12.10. The book comes out March 20th.
You can also get the collections of IDW’s original Ghostbusters mini-series and one-shots;
Ghostbusters: Haunted Holidays
Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression
Ghostbusters: The Other Side
And if you missed out on the Ghostbusters role in IDW’s giant, inter-franchise zombie crossover (and more importantly, the bits that set up the current monthly series), Amazon is still taking pre-orders on the Infestation hardcover, due January 24th. No word on a trade paperback edition, but the hardcover is $22 (not an outrageous price.)
