Mar 13, 2020I hate to even think this, but this could very well be on the way to being in my top three favorite Ghostbusters comics. If the first issue was a home run, then this one is a slam-dunk. Read Full Review

Ghostbusters Year One is a nice companion piece to the 1984 film. It's not must-read material but Erik Burnham does a great job in filling in gaps if you're a fan of the franchise in any capacity.
