Looks like Nick Runge was thinking of Eddie Murphy’s face circa 1982-83 when he did Winston’s face on the cover, without the mustache of course.

Everyone SHOULD give it a spin! Anyone who writes a book off based pretty much solely on a cover is doing themselves and the comics a massive disservice!

I can’t wait Jim. From what I’ve seen of Josh’s art too, this’ll be a good’un!

Hope everyone may give our one-shot a spin – Keith and I feel its faithful AND fun. It certainly has a lot of SPIRIT, if nothing else

There’ll be an interview with us about the book at another site around the time the official solicit goes up.

Thanks for all the chit-chat on CON-VOLUTION (Comic convention + revolution = twinkie)

Jim!

@devilmanozzy — Trust me dude, I already have! I’ve got a couple of one-shots I’m keen to pitch but I’ve got a feeling Halloween is taken… (maybe New Year’s?) and the other isn’t holiday related, so I don’t know whether it’ll fly. I’d heard there were some pretty cool sounding things coming down the track from IDW, but nothing definite as to when.

Anyway, you guys here know how to make enough noise to get things moving, as the Cereal:Geek pitch showed, just don’t make it negative, because it’s unnecessary and doesn’t really do anything for the comics as a whole outside of maybe bring attention to one part of it.

You guys do realise that it’s set at a Comic convention, right?

Tristan you need to show them how to do it right. Yeah I didn’t like the pitch, but it was a good amount of time they spent on it. Sadly I didn’t see a ghost in the whole thing which tells me it lacks. Then again I did like the whole “not revisiting thing” …..then Cynthia Crawford shows up in the pitch…..What? Yeah Tristan blow them away.

It’s ok I guess. Nothing I’ll pay money for tho.

They should have just used Revolution as their subtitle. Convolution doesn’t sound right..it sounds like they’re trying too hard. It sounds right in Madd Magazine but not on a Ghostbusters Magazine. Really shiny. Really cool artwork though.

What seems contrived? I don’t see anything in that picture that merits that description.

Everyone’s saying that the Cereal:Geek pitch was more in line with what they wanted, when hardly ANYTHING has been revealed outside of the setting, cover and creative team. Why not wait until the book is out?

I don’t like it either. Seems really contrived, like they are trying to hard. I did like the cereal geek comic pitch a lot though. Much more my cup of tea.

Dont get me wrong im all for anything to do with ghostbusters, but it just feels like their heart isnt in it somehow, like they are fans but not diehard fans. Like chris said, its the details that count, thats why i love dapper dans work he gets it spot on without trying to make his characters look exactly like the actors.

What is it? a rip-off of “Ernest goes to camp”?

Atleast they will be Ghostbusters in Space, and not Ghostbusters laughing their way to the bank.

Nick Runge is starting to get a lot better with his renditions of the gbs… it took him a while to get consistent version ray and peter down (if you follow his cover, you’ll see how much they change, even issue-to-issue). my only issue with him, and many of the other gb artists, is that venkman doesn’t tuck his boots in… to me, that little detail is important, it shows his slackerness and it gives him his own “style” amongst the nearly identical coveralls worn by the other gbs…

Sebastien, I think you kinda lost the right to critique a long time ago.

I don’t like it one bit. Next will be Ghostbusters in space.
