To Say Ghostbusters Back In Town Answers One Question Before Frozen Empire Helps Answer One Lingering Question

Hopefully this miniseries isn’t the only release to continue what is the Ghostbusters cinematic universe.

Ghostbusters Back in Town #1 Comic Book Cover Potential Spoiler Alert

A lot of comic books have been published featuring either The Real Ghostbusters, some version thereof, or exist in its own world. Just how long Dark Horse Comics intends to publish in regards to the Spengler family depend on the contract. At least to say they’re “Back in Town” bridges the gap between Afterlife and Frozen Empire is a step in the right direction. Author Greg Pak wastes no time to get the clan exploring some personal issues.

Mild Spoiler Alert

While we’re waiting for the next season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, the gaps not explored in the live action material are being filled in with this upcoming comic book release. Zombie Boys sees Will Byers having a rough go at life since his return. He’s labelled just that at school. This tale by Greg Pak answers all those lingering questions we had since we don’t often see him interacting with the rest of the school. Here, we see he is treated like a freak. If he’s not bullied, he’s shunned. The only kids who understand him are his pals, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas.

Joey Kim is a new student and wants to make a movie; he easily convinces everyone to take part in his latest epic, to make a George Romero style film, and as for whether or not it’ll be therapeutic for Will, that’s up in the air.
