https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/FEB180387 Quote: FEB180387 (W) Erik Burnham (A/CA) Dan Schoening Thanks to an accident involving a knockoff trans-dimensional portal, some dangerous entities have been released from the ecto-containment unit... and the Ghostbusters will need help to recapture them all. To complicate matters, this issue also features an unexpected visitation, ill omens, and Janine fretting about the future... all this and more in Part 2 of our 8-part mega-crossover event! In Shops: Apr 25, 2018 SRP: $3.99 Quote: and Janine fretting about the future... That's the only thing in that blurb that sounds like it has even the slightest potential to be interesting to me right now. I hate being that...not excited about this, even with the real Egon depicted in the cover. |

I can understand how you and Nikki feel about not being excited for this series. I have to admit, I'm only feeling a fraction of the excitement I felt when International came out. There's also the worry that the plot might get too jumpy with the focus going between different teams of characters every other panel. I've seen it in the IDIC arc of Star Trek: Boldly Go. I can't help getting wrapped up in curiosity though cos I'm such a cat. And before you ask, yes that line about Janine worrying about the future has me intrigued, though I feel like we're being baited. After doing some thinking since last year, I've decided that if anyone should be asked about character development in future comics, it's not Erik Burnham, it's Tom Waltz. |

Poor Holtzy. Yeah, she's definitely got shades of RGB Egon in her backstory. And wow, Peter's coma actually was unexpected for me. Didn't think the last panel of CO #1 looked even remotely harmful. Also, those better not be all the pages of Janine "fretting over the future." |

Can Ron be fired already? Surely putting a work colleague in a coma is grounds to justify a dismissal due to gross misconduct. |

Considering that the last main on-panel conversation she had with IDW Egon was the one on the Firehouse roof and his behaviour towards her since then has been patchy at best, I'm not surprised she feels that way. After some of IDW Egon's experiences (the experience with his close friend Eugene, his venture through Janine's mind and his 'death'), I'm still surprised that he hasn't really developed much as a character since the first issue. Normally these kind of major events would have some sort of lasting effect; like RGB Egon's brush with death after falling from the World Trade Centre gave him a fear of heights and his experiences with the Boogieman as a child made him want to become a Ghostbuster. |

So, the Prime!Egon card came out today and it says he's still processing the experience of having been dead intellectually, and refusing to do it emotionally and I'm here like 'That's...not healthy. At all' And part of me hopes it IS addressed (Though I'm not getting my hopes up for it) and also hoping if the breakdown does come, as it normally would with a person who's refusing to give their emotions the time and consideration they need, it's when Janine's around. |

As I said to someone on GBFans, this is one area I can see some consistency between IDW Egon and RGB Egon. I think about RGB Egon falling off the World Trade Center in "The Boogeyman Is Back" and completely refusing to deal with the trauma...and it ate at him and let the Boogeyman return. I hope IDW Egon comes to grips before something like that or worse happens. |

Agreed. That or Janine confronting Tiamat. I can't wait for Janine's card to come out. |

I realize I forgot to comment on something from this issue: During the file on the "86-R" Ghostbusters, they mention "There was no pause in their activities between the battles with Gozer and Vigo" or some such. Leaving aside that there was an RGB version of the Vigo battle--the GB2 adaptation--that implied there was a "pause", which I can understand them doing from the standpoint of there not being any real sense of a break in the show itself (or even the actual RGB comic at the time)... ...At least this seems to walk back the implication in GB101 that the IDW Ghostbusters were the only ones who fought Gozer. I guess the IDW guys eventually asked the RGB guys about the origin of the multicolored flight suits after all. |
