FIRST LOOK! Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest From Dark Horse Comics!

Shiver me timbers! The Ghostbusters are back in the first follow up to Back In Town from Dark Horse. In Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest, the Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop. While Trevor steadies himself by trying to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe meets someone who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when a ghostly saber summons the ghost of Captain Kidd and threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town! David M. Booher of Back In Town is returning to write more adventures for the new Ghostbusters crew with art by Aviv Or (Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria—Artagan, Midst: The Valorous Farmer), colors by Cris Peter (Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria, FML), and lettering by Jimmy Betancourt of Comicraft (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures). Tyler Crook (Harrow County) will illustrate the cover art for issue #1, with a variant cover by Max Sarin (The Great British Bump Off).

"It's wonderful to be branching out the Ghostbusters stories to reach a broader audience," said editor Jenny Bingham-Blenk. "Working with David, Aviv, Cris, Jimmy, and the team at Ghost Corps has been a fun collaboration that will invite readers of all ages to dive deeper into Ghostbusters." Talking on the phantasmal inspiration behind the latest mini series, Booher continues, “When I researched ghostly happenings in New York City, I came across the true story of Captain Kidd. He owned a house near Wall Street with his family. Turns out, historians are divided on whether he was the fearsome pirate we know or actually framed for piracy. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring him back to ask him ourselves. What could be more fun than having our Ghostbusters stop an angry Captain Kidd from turning Manhattan into a 17th century ghost pirate den?” Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 (of 4) sails into comic shops on May 21, 2025. It is now available to pre-order for $4.99! Be sure to check your local comic shop for availability and to trap your copy today! Meanwhile, scope an exclusive sneak peek at issue #1 below:
