A new comic book series will bring together iconic franchises from the ’80s, with the Ghostbusters and the Transformers in a new crossover event. IDW Entertainment is releasing the upcoming five-issue comic book series from Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado.
The series summary is as follows: “When the Transformers pick up on a strange Cybertronian signal emanating from Earth, they travel to the planet only to discover that the threat waiting for them there is something that Venkman, Spengler, Stantz, and Zeddemore are perfectly suited to help them take on.”
“1984 was a seismic shift for entertainment, the year that launched both Transformers and Ghostbusters,” John Barber, IDW Editor-in-Chief, explained in a statment. “Back then, Little John Barber was right there for Transformers and a little scared of Ghostbusters—but now, I’m a bit braver and can’t wait to see the two worlds collide.”
The latest entry into the Transformers series of films, Bumblebee, earned the highest critical praise yet in the series, seemingly ensuring the franchise’s future. Announced earlier this year, a third film in the original Ghostbusters franchise will be landing in theaters next year, directed by Jason Reitman.
