Ghostbusters International #2 – “Venice” (IDW Comics, 2016)

If you’re a fan who loves “on the road” stories and international Ghostbusters adventures, this issue is very enjoyable to read and collect. It’s not as essential as the early IDW issues, but it has a special charm thanks to the Italian setting and the “Venice” cover. Perfect to have if you’re completing the Ghostbusters International run or if you like thematic variants.

Description

Issue #2 of the Ghostbusters International miniseries, published by IDW Publishing.
The Ghostbusters arrive in Venice to investigate the haunted island of Poveglia, where spirits are strangely agitated. The story takes the team to Italy with the franchise’s classic humor and paranormal action. Features the stunning artwork of Dan Schoening and the regular cover by Corin Howell with the famous tagline “WELCOME TO VENICE.”

Value for Ghostbusters fans

For a Ghostbusters fan, this issue has medium-high value, especially if it’s the “Venice” cover variant:

  • Unique setting: It’s one of the few issues where the team leaves New York for an international adventure. The Venetian setting and the island of Poveglia (famous for its horror legends) provide a fresh atmosphere that’s highly appreciated by readers.
  • Artistic quality: Clean and dynamic artwork by Dan Schoening, one of the historic artists of the IDW series. The character expressions and details of the Italian locations are among the highlights.
  • Collectibility: The Venice-themed cover variant (often Cover B or the subscription variant) is particularly sought after because it’s thematic and visually appealing. Being a single issue from a 2016 miniseries, it’s not extremely rare, but high-grade copies (NM) of the variant sell at a premium compared to the standard cover.
