by

Ready to revisit an age-old enigma once more? The query still stands: “Who will you call?” The answer, my friends, is unchanged – it’s “Ghostbusters.” This May, embark on a fresh 4-issue comic book journey titled “Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest” from Dark Horse Comics. Brace yourself for some ghostly pirates with that title! The new series is brought to you by the talented creative team of writer David M. Booher and artists Aviv Or and Cris Peter. These comics aren’t just a fun read; they fill in the gaps between the events of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “Frozen Empire“. Take a look at the first preview pages for “Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest“, as well as standard edition and variant covers, to get a sneak peek of what’s in store.



Here’s a captivating glimpse into the upcoming Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest comic book series, proudly published by Dark Horse Comics – and I simply can’t wait to dive in!

In the movie Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest, the rising fame of the Ghostbusters is causing them some confusion. As Trevor attempts to maintain balance by organizing a “friendiversary” event for him and Lucky, Phoebe encounters someone who could potentially be a genuine friend rather than just an online acquaintance. However, both new and old friendships are put on hold as they face a more pressing issue when a spectral cutlass summons the ghost of Captain Kidd, endangering New York City by turning it into a ghostly pirate city!

There’s no pairing more fitting than ghosts and swashbuckling pirates, as proven by characters like Scooby-Doo and the Pirates of the Caribbean. In a fresh twist for the Ghostbusters universe, comic book writer David M. Booher introduces a new breed of spectral pirates.

As I delved into reports of supernatural occurrences in New York City, I stumbled upon the authentic tale of Captain Kidd. He resided near Wall Street with his family, and there’s debate among historians whether he was the notorious pirate we recognize or merely falsely accused of piracy. I couldn’t resist trying to prevent a vengeful Captain Kidd from transforming Manhattan into a 17th-century haunt of ghostly pirates.

Ghostbusters: The Tomb of the Forgotten, issue #1 (of 4), will hit comic book stores on May 21st, courtesy of Dark Horse Comics. You can reserve your copy at your local comic store for $4.99 before its release!
