Better than most of its type
Any collection of short stories, especially those anthologizing the works of various authors, will by its nature be a hit-or-miss proposition. Some of the stories will be better than others, some could be excellent, some could be outright duds. This collection, put together by Michael Chabon, has a ...

The Real Ghostbusters: Who You Gonna Call? (The Real Ghostbusters) 1 review Dan Abnett, Anthony Williams
Titan Books, 2006
Busting makes me feel good.
In the two years fallowing the cancelation of the Real Ghostbusters

most of the stories told within the pages of those comics would have made great episodes.
Back in 2005 ...
