We already knew that the end of GBVol.2 would be followed by the TMNT crossover by basically the same team, but is there anything else?

There just might be.

Just thought I'd pass this along, from a post on GBFans by Erik Burnham:

But your suppositions about the cancellation are incorrect. The real reason isn't sales related (I assumed it was myself, but it turns out not so much.) I say that and it's inside baseball to say why, so it sounds like a playground retort "nuh uh!" But trust me, I had a long talk, if it WAS just sales, you wouldn't be seeing, say, a crossover beginning the next month with the same guys involved. So hooray, less people agree with you than you think!

Again, it's also not me. (Sorry, dude!) Or Dan. (Sorry again!)

Owing to conversations at SDCC, we may be sticking around. (;

<<snip>>

I do think a volume 3 will happen (not set in stone.)

I do think Dan and I will be involved (if it does happen.)


I know this is from the writer, not an IDW editor or executive, but it's a glimmer of hope.

Just curious if their is any truth behind the rumor that Sony/Columbia Pictures killed off the IDW comic series in order to reboot the ghostbusteres universe for "ghostbusters 3"

Nope -- 100% FALSE. Sony has been nothing but supportive and excited about and by our comic books. Stopping the ongoing was fully an IDW decision based on dwindling sales numbers and timing. Timing-wise, it was a logical stopping point, especially with the TMNT/GB crossover happening, which we are hoping will bring new/expanded attention to the Ghostbusters comics.

All that said, we have other things in the works and my ultimate goal is to relaunch a 3rd volume to the ongoing in the future. When? I don't know, but it's something that is absolutely on my radar, and when/if it does happen, I'm fully confident Sony will be as ecstatic as we will be.

Talk soon…
