    Re: Gorilla Comics, I was at the Gorilla launch party, which happened the Friday night of Heroes Con that year at a Mexican restaurant. Downtown Charlotte was pretty much a ghost town during the weekends back then, so they basically had the run of the building. Mark, George, Karl, Mike Wieringo and Todd Dezago (who did Tellos together, another great book) were all there. I don’t remember if Kurt was there or not. Anyway, yeah, they folded because of funding issues. The guy fronting the money wasn’t all that he had presented himself as, and it became a bit of a mess.

    Ian, you may have grown up with Ghostbusters both Real and Extreme, but I grew up with the original live action Ghost Busters with the great Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker. Re: the licensing issues, Columbia paid Filmation half a million dollars to use the name. After the success of the film, Filmation decided to do a new cartoon version of the live action show.

    I had a feeling it was something like that. Thanks for the knowledge as always, @nweathington

    Loved the episode. You Ian and Adam talked briefly about Ghost Spider and wondering why she's being called that if she's in her own Universe. My guess is that because she's known as Ghost Spider in the cartoon, Marvel Rising, they are using that name. The name Ghost Spider is being used on their Marvel Rising merchandise as well like dolls (which my daughter has) and other stuff. I'd imagine it's a way to market the character to people who like the cartoon. Also, it's a cool name. Goes with the costume.
