The bad news: This makes it official: IDW no longer has the Ghostbusters license.
I know some people are gonna jump on my ass for this, but I don't think IDW not having the GB license is such a bad thing. I'm not sure about the whole comics industry as a whole but I don't really think IDW is on solid ground ATM. Ghostbusters was never going to bring in huge mega numbers, and I always felt there was a risk it was going to be pulled from IDW's content at any time.
With a bigger publisher, there's more chance that Ghostbusters will continue and although this is going to be a limited edition run, I've always felt Ghostbusters would have a better home with a company that could absorb a comic pulling in lower numbers. It would give the creative team more flexibility with their storylines, and allow them the chance to do their own thing without having to piggyback on other properties in order to continue its run.
Yes it's sad that we won't have the great creative team that we had on IDW (and I'm really pissed that we won't have any conclusions to many of the plot points from IDW's run) but I can't help but feel that this type of publisher is probably the place Ghostbusters should have started out on in the first place.
