Ghostbusters #5

Jan 2012 · IDW · 3.99 USD
“The Most Magical Place on Earth - Part 1”

In "The Most Magical Place on Earth - Part 1," the Ghostbusters face a new kind of challenge when P.C.O.C. chief Walter Peck suspends their operations, citing a city contract that demands they meet strict physical requirements before returning to duty. As they grapple with the absurdity of the ruling and consider drastic measures, strange occurrences begin to surface beyond Schenectady—events that hint at something far stranger than a bureaucratic roadblock. Written by Erik Burnham and brought to life with vivid detail by Dan Schoening (pencils and inks) and Luis Antonio Delgado (colors), this issue blends bureaucratic satire with creeping supernatural mystery, all under a cover by Dan Schoening.

After a recent mission, P.C.O.C. chief Walter Peck bars the Ghostbusters from their duties, leveraging a contract they signed with the city. He stipulates they can return to work once they meet certain "physical requirements." As the Ghostbusters grapple with this directive, considering weight loss and searching for a way around Peck's ruling, mysterious events start unfolding outside Schenectady.
