Coming next March, Dark Horse Comics is supplying Ghostbuster fans with a bridging four-issue series between Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Written by David Booher with art by Blue Delliquanti and Cris Peter, and letters by Jimmy Betancourt, the series launches on March 27th.
On the new series, Jason Reitman said, “Our friends at Dark Horse have picked up the Spengler family and hand delivered them to Manhattan where they will begin their journey back into Ghostbusting! It has been a personal thrill to collaborate with this incredible group of artists and storytellers on new chapters in the proton jungle.”
So what’s Ghostbusters: Back in Town about?
A year and a half after the events of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the Ghostbusters are officially back in business and headed to where it all began: New York City! Callie, Gary, Trevor, and Phoebe are moving into the Firehouse and ready to take on the Spengler family business…or are they? Ghostbusting on top of changing family dynamics has a way of going awry––and that’s exactly what one paranormal force is counting on.
