The Ghostbusters Get Into The ComiCon Spirit This June!
ComiCon season is something magical for many people. It is the only place on Earth that thousands upon thousands of comic book fans from around the country (and in some cases the world) can gather and geek out with their you-know-what out* without suffering from the odd stares of their friends/family/cat/turtle. But with so many people gathered, from all walks of life you would have to imagine that it can get a little dangerous at times. Well thankfully the Ghostbusters are around to keep all the supernatural threats under control this June as IDW Publishing looks to drop its newest one-shot featuring the gang just in time for the fullswing of convention season. Read on for the skinny.

“What can be more patriotic than spending the Fourth of July at… a comic book convention? That’s Ray’s thinking at least, although his fellow Ghostbusters think they’re in for a boring day of cosplay. But when a dastardly demon with delusions of grandeur unleashes the fireworks, the Ghostbusters must stage a revolution of their own!”
“GHOSTBUSTERS: CON-VOLUTION” Drops This June From IDW Publishing! (MSRP-$3.99)
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
