I may talk about that later. But it also got me to thinking about previous female Ghostbusters Now, the receptionist character of Janine certainly took on that role repeatedly in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. But there was also a comic from IDW, Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression by Scott Lobdell and Ilia Kyriazis from 2010 that might deserve revisiting. One that[...]
