Having read, and been massively disappointed with,
Ghostbusters: The Other Side
I was put off purchasing any more Ghostbusters graphic novels. There's certainly a good amount of lore out there featuring spook hunting quartet, as well as Spates Catalog and the Tobin Spirit Guide, and it's difficult to know where to begin. I guess The Other Side was just a bad one to start with.
Set 6 months after the defeat of Gozer (transplanted 20 years later to 2004) the gang are still enjoying the high and popularity before it all came crashing down, as detailed in Ghostbusters II. There's a lot going on - Janine flirts with Egon, Peter and Dana have relationship troubles, Louis enjoys "geek chic" celebrity status, and Ray feels guilt over a long-lost colleague who was driven mad by one of their college experiments and has returned to get revenge. As expected, the science may be a stretch, but its still quite weighty and you believe Egon when explains it.
The artwork and panel progression are both far superior to The Other Side (although Ray looks more like Charles Grodin than Dan Akroyd). It's a shame that the follow-up to this story was never released as 88MPH went out of business and the licence was passed onto IDW, who, in my opinion, were not the people. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but it would have been nice to see this continuity take-off.
A bonus one-shot comic called "The Zeddemore Factor" detailing Winston's first night with the gang, is also included at the end.
