Ghostbusters Volume 1 (Ghostbusters Graphic Novels)

Ghostbusters Volume 1: The Man From The Mirror - Erik  Burnham, Dan Schoening To start, I don't think I'd really be interested in these graphic novels if it weren't for the fact that the Ghostbusters movies are awesome. These comics are perfectly suited for fans of the original movies. What makes Ghostbusters so fun in graphic novel form, is that they're really able to capitalize off of the existence of the films. I really enjoyed all of the jokes and humor that referenced the original films, and though any reader could pick these up, there's definitely a little something extra for fans of the movies. The art is really great, vibrant and fits the style of comic that Ghostbusters should be. It has the same feel as the films, it's more about the comedy than the actual silly horrors they face. I also like the appearance of a guy in these dreams that looks exactly like a Blues Brother, and one could only wonder why. If you're a fan of Ghostbusters, these graphic novels are definitely written for you. These could be suitable for a younger audience as well, but there are some more mature jokes that never really point themselves out unless you know what's being talked about. This is definitely one of the better comics I've seen on the tame side of things, so bravo to the Ghostbusters comic crew. Nothing is more fun than when a comic book can be humorous and entertaining, and present all of that with a fun story that fans of the movie and newbies can enjoy.
