The stories will be written by Infestation writer Erik Burnham and artist Dan Schoening (Ghostbusters: What in Samhain Just Happened?!) with Cover artist Nick Runge.

Ghostbusters #1 will have psychokinetic energy on the rise once more with business good for the boys at Ghostbusters, however Ray is troubled by dreams that could either prove to be a prophetic omen of an impending apocalypse… or he has indigestion. Here’s hoping both apocalypse and indigestion! In fact that’s not a bad name! Ghostbusters: Apocalypse and Indigestion #1. Although that is not the real title, spooky behaviour is absolutely guaranteed, and from the look of the previews ectoplasmic goo is not in short supply.

There will be a range of collectible covers including a “Who Ya Gonna Call” cover by Schoening and A GLOW IN THE DARK COVER! Retailers will also be able to order unique covers with up to four customised Ghostbusters! IDW encourage fans to contact their local retailers to find out more about these covers.

But don’t worry kids, it comes back immediately! You’ll have to decide who ‘wins the breakup’ though.

IDW says:

This issue of ROCKETEER ADVENTURES continues to soar with a trio of stories crafted by masterful comics creators. Mark Waid and Chris Weston provide a pulse-pounding story of revenge set to a colorful backdrop of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge, Lowell Francis and Gene Ha put Cliff through his paces in an-all action extravaganza that has him fighting tooth and nail for his very survival—plus a special guest star! Finally, Darwyn Cooke delivers the goods (as always!) with a tale that we won’t say one word about—it’s too good to even hint at and ruin the surprise! Plus, a pair of pin-ups, BOTH by Geof Darrow—his incredible piece was just too massive to be held to the confines of a single page, so he’s supplying a gorgeous TWO-PAGE pin-up!
