YMMV / Ghostbusters (IDW Comics)

  • Alternative Joke Interpretation: In one comic, Peter Venkman says to Walter Peck, "Sorry Egon couldn't make it. Something about some bad couscous." Is the joke that Egon has food poisoning, or that (because he's a scientist who collects mold), he's studying some expired couscous?
  • Complete Monster: See here.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Walter Peck's part of the Where Are They Now epilogue of Mass Hysteria says that he is considering running for higher office. In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Walter Peck returns as the mayor of New York.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Tiamat is a Sumerian goddess and sister of Gozer. After the Ghostbusters defeat Gozer, Tiamat comes to Earth to toy with the Ghostbusters, kidnapping Dana Barret and Louis Tully ostensibly to lure the Ghostbusters to her but really aiming to lure Gozer out in the open. She succeeds and Gozer possesses Ray and fights his sister. After losing the battle Gozer attempts to regain some of his power stored in the Ghostbusters' containment unit, but is unable to do so, with the containment unit having safeguards to prevent a possessed Ghostbuster from opening it. Tiamat removed that knowledge from Ray's head, just to torment Gozer before she destroys him. Tiamat returns in the Crossing Over mini-series, after two Ghostbusters, Ron Alexander, and Dr. Jillian Holtzmann, invent a dimensional portal that allows Ghostbusters from across the multiverse to interact. Tiamat takes the form of Dana Barret and when Peter Venkman is a coma, she encourages him to convince the other Ghostbusters to bust ghosts across the multiverse, knowing that will cause chaos across the multiverse.
  • Tear Jerker: The Transformers situation... isn't good. After the Autobots left Cybertron Gozer proceeded to manifest and destroyed the planet, committing near genocide on the Cybertronian race. The Autobots are left wandering the universe looking for any signs that they are not alone. By the end things seem to be looking up, with the discovery of ghosts it is possible to resurrect the Cybertronians who haven't moved on thanks to the Allspark but Megatron (and possibly a majority of the Decepticons) isn't going to let go of past grudges any time soon.
