Ghostbusters: Crossing Over update.


Previously...

Ghostbusters comics news for 2018!


And now...

Ghostbusters Crossing Over: The Teams.


From last time...

It's going to have all the Ghostbusters teams!!!

Original movie, Answer The Call, Real, Extreme, Sanctum Of Slime, and maybe, just maybe, Filmation Ghostbusters.

If they could work in stuff from the Kenner toys, and Lego, and Playmobile, and the Nintendo game, that would make my whole existence.
But...I won't get greedy, I'll take whatever they're allowed to give me.

Well, now we know what teams are being used!!
And here they all are!


The series is going to be 8 issues, and each one is going to have a file by Janine about a different team, so that means 8 teams besides movie universe (called "prime universe", in the comic).
There's 9 teams besides prime in that pic, but there's a loophole which I'll mention.

So, starting from the bottom going up, and going left to right...

Bottom row, prime universe.
Janine, Ray, Jenny (Ray's ghost girlfriend), Kylie Griffin, Egon, Peter, Winston.

Next row, above Prime, are Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, and Answer The Call. 
Underneath Extreme are the 8-bit game sprites for "New Ghostbusters 2".

Above Real are Sanctum Of Slime, above ATC are Chicago Ghostbusters.
Chicago are from Prime universe, made up by the comic, and founded by The Rookie from the '09 video game.
That's the loophole I mentioned.

Top row, the RGB variants from the "Slimer!" spinoff cartoon, then the anime parody Ghostbusters from one episode of "Tokyo ESP", and the prime universe cartoony variants from certain platfrom versions of the 09 video game.

Between Slimer-verse, and Tokyo ESP, are Kevin Tanaka and Robobuster.
Kevin Tanaka is from Prime-verse, and is Janine's assistant, based on the guy in real life who runs the Ghostbusters Wiki.
Robobuster is from RGB originally, but he dies in his episode, so this is an alternate-alternate version from a  dimension made up for the comic.

Between Tokyo ESP, and '09 game variants, is Mike The Golem.
He's from the same made up dimension as Robobuster, and he's a made up stand-in for Tracy The Ape from Filmation Ghostbsuters, which they couldn't get the rights to.

After '09 game variants, and kind of beside Chicago, is Kevin Beckman, the male secretary played by Chris Hemsworth from ATC.

Oh, and standing a little outside of Chicago is Melanie Ortiz.
She's formerly of Chicago, but now is more of an auxiliary Buster for the Prime team.
She washes her hands of Chicago, but they had to stand her somewhere.

So, all together, that's..

1. Prime Ghostbsuters (movie)
2. Real Ghostbsuters
3. Extreme Ghostbusters
4. Answer The Call
5. 8-bit.
6. Sanctum Of Slime
7. Chicago
8. Slimer-verse
9. Tokyo ESP
10 '09 game stylized
11. Greenwich Village Ghostbusters (Robobuster and Mike The Golem)

So, 11 "teams", but Chicago spins off from Prime, Greenwich Village is just 2 guys, and the Janine files aren't counting Prime, because they see themselves as the "real", dimension.

But anyway, that's all the characters.
Unless they spring some surprises, which they might.

See you in 6 months for the final review of all 8 issues!!
