Ghostbusters International #3 – “Poveglia” (IDW Comics, 2016)

A highly appreciated issue among “old school” fans looking for darker, well-crafted stories. It’s not the most action-packed in the series, but it has a unique atmosphere and a strong sense of paranormal exploration. A must-have in your IDW collection if you love the Ghostbusters’ international adventures and real locations steeped in legend.

Description

Issue #3 of the Ghostbusters International miniseries published by IDW Publishing.
The Ghostbusters arrive on the cursed island of Poveglia, in the Venice lagoon, to investigate out-of-control paranormal activity. The story features Peter, Ray, and Winston dealing with restless spirits, an ancient psycho-kinetically charged artifact, and the dark lore of the island (a former plague hospital and asylum).
This is the “Poveglia” variant cover, with artwork dedicated to the island and its ghosts.

Value for Ghostbusters fans

For a Ghostbusters fan, this issue has high value, especially for those who love international stories and the horror side of the franchise:

  • Unique setting: It’s one of the darkest and most atmospheric stories in the IDW series. Poveglia Island is one of the most famous and haunting locations in the world for paranormal legends, and the issue exploits it perfectly by blending real lore with the Ghostbusters universe.
  • Continuity and atmosphere: Part of the “International” miniseries that takes the team outside the USA. It offers a balanced mix of classic humor, action, and genuine horror, with an artifact important to the overall series plot.
  • Variant cover: The “Poveglia” cover is particularly sought after because it’s thematic and visually striking, perfect for collectors of variants or covers tied to iconic locations.
