has anyone here read the ghostbusters comics? I'm considering the ghostbusters humble bundle, What are your opinions on the ghostbusters comics? are they readable without having seen the animated series?

what does that have to do with anything?
I'd say the comics are pretty good and worth the time to read. They're more based on the movies than the cartoons though.

>What are your opinions on the ghostbusters comics?
They're fantastic.
>are they readable without having seen the animated series?
Yes, because it follows the continuity of the movies and video game, which is separate from The Real Ghostbusters.There is a crossover miniseries between the two, though.
On a related note, today I received my copy of the official Tobin's Spirit Guide that Burnham wrote. Very nifty stuff.

they like to toss in easter eggs every which way but no you don't really need any prior GB knowledge
>>83720571
Not sure what that has to do with anything but you'll be happy to know the comic includes not shit female ghostbusters

IDW series is amazing.
Shoutouts to every part of the franchise before it (both movies, the game, Real GB, Extreme GB, the toyline).

You're underselling the influence of RGB and XGB
>Ghost Grenade (RGB)
>Ghostsmashers is basically 'Robo-Buster' minus the robot (rival company that "destroys" ghosts, backfires, team-up)
>The New Ghostbusters arc deals with the kidnapping of the original team while Janine has to save them (can't remember RGB episode)
>Egon's RGB/XGB "self" dating Janine
There are more but I can't really think of anymore off the top of my head.

they take influences sure but you don't have to watch the cartoon to get any of it. It's mostly just adapting things and easter eggs

It's good and very fun.
Excuse me, is there a short list of episodes of both the "Real" and "Extreme" Ghostbusters that one would recommend watching?
