Ghostbusters: Crossing over 
(Volume 2) (2018)

Previously with this franchise...

• My original Ghostbusters series review.
• Happy 2nd anniversary, Ghostbusters: Answer The Call!
• Ghostbusters 101: Everyone Answers The Call.
• Ghostbusters:Answer The Call: What Dreams May Come
• Ghostbusters: Crossing over (Volume 1)

Okay, last time, as far as I knew at the time, the graphic novels were going to be split up.
Now, all 8 issues are gonna be one big volume.
And the above is gonna be the cover.
But, I already did issues 1-4, so now I'm still on the hook to do 5-8, so here they are.

Plot summary-
(Heavy spoilers)

The scrambled teams of Ghostbusters in other dimensions defeat their respective ghosts, and manage to refill the containment unit.

Along the way, they meet back up with Rachel Unglighter, who gives them an orb shaped baseball sized trap that uses magic-tech, and Ron Alexander gets wounded by demonic ice cream cones.

Tiamat, sister of Gozer, interferes with their portal, and after they refill the containment unit, and head home, she pulls everyone to her dimension.

Even crossing 20+ proton streams doesn't touch her, so they use the magic-trap, and it drains her energy enough that they use a bunch of their regular traps (that have been upgraded to dimensionally teleport ghosts directly to the containment unit, but they set them to random dimensions for her) and rip all her flesh off her bones, and scatter her lifeforce across the multiverse.

Then, weakened down to practically nothing, they zap and trap her skeleton (with a non-dimensional regular trap), and just leave the trap there.
So Tiamat is dispersed for centuries, and will presumably never bother them again.
Unless the writer wants her back. :P

They all come home, but the containment unit is still unstable, so Ray's ghost girlfriend, Jenny, sacrifices herself, and goes into the containment unit, and makes it stable.

They play this for tear-jerks, but Holtzmann reminds Ray all of this started because they tried to build a viewer into the containment unit dimension (like in RGB), so they finish that, and now they can look in on Jenny, and she can beat up other ghosts, so she's fine.

Egon uses subliminal message code written on a piece of paper to erase Holtzmann's memories of dimensional portal tech, and says they're also going to use it on Ron Alexander, and everything's back to normal and safe again.

Rundown-

• A helluva ride, every Ghostbuster was in it, and everyone had a moment.
• It was the Infinity War of Ghostbusters. ...with a happier ending.
• Rachel Unglighter didn't fight Tiamat hand-to-hand, but she did beat her.
• Winston finally got his revenge on Tiamat (loooong backstory!).
• The Ghostbusters multiverse is finally all together now.
• Which sets up Ghostbusters World. 
• Next comic up the pike, a one shot issue featuring the Sanctum Of Slime Ghostbusters.

So, that's another Answer The Call sequel in the can, and the second Classic-GB/GB:ATC crossover.
January is the graphic novel.

And it looks like Dan Aykroyd still wants Ghostbusters 3 to be a thing.
But that's a whole other post.

Still nothing on the animated movie....

That's the GB franchise as of now.
See you next time.
