A cartoony doodle of Walter Peck and the ghost Idulnas

Me and my fiancee have this rp where Idulnas (a ghost from the ghostbusters comic) possessed Walter Peck and ended up staying with him through his life. The two are very close and occasionally visit Ray to check in on how they’re doing together. A classic enemies to best friends I adore and love drawing

Its something only me and her really get but I love it all the same

My first uploaded collection of sticky post-it note doodles I’ve done, based around Janosz Poha. Switching between the comic and movie versions; I got ideas based in certain scenarios, ideas or even poses from his actor. Poha's proven to be an effective little muse and you can bet I’ll be doing more in the future!  Which one’s your favourite?

Ray should’ve talked to Janosz again...

Looking back at this page where Janosz painted Ray and recalled his memory of him from the 2nd film, I can’t help but think that they should’ve gotten the chance to meet one last time in this particular story arc. 

Describing the comfort of being embraced after all the darkness finally left him. Which, for a character as lonely as Janosz, would likely mean a great deal. We all know Ray as being the sweetest Ghostbuster, so it’s not far fetched to think that someone like Janosz could see him as this hopeful symbol.  (Plus we see that he does plenty other paintings while in Parkview, and this is the doctor’s first reaction to seeing his kind of work from him. So, he doesn’t do this often as some kind of obsessive vice. This was a conscious idea for a piece that came from a place of genuine happiness.) 

It was interesting to hear this from Janosz’s perspective, as I’ve often wandered just how warped his senses where during Vigo’s possession. After being covered in the mood slime, he couldn’t even remember how he got there. Indicating he wasn’t in control of a lot of his actions. 

Take a look at this closing panel showing Idulnas now having possessed Janosz. You can see various canvases and paintings, that he no doubt worked really hard on, all destroyed and scattered across his cell. Looking carefully, you can see what reminds of his painting of Ray.

I like the way this has multiple layers to it. Showing Idulnas’s eagerness for revenge - since Ray is the Ghostbuster he’d gone after (Due to him summoning the Stay Puft form of Gozer) and was foiled by previously in this series first story. But it also works for Janosz, representing a complete loss of hope and progress for him. 

I wish we could've gotten one scene where the two of them see each other again and speak to each. Janosz would recognise him, and maybe that could show a first positive sign of him getting some grip back on reality when his mind get’s broken. 

“...Embraced me when the darkness, it vanished.” 

But, apart from Kylie mentioning just how clearly messed-up he is, none of the other Ghostbusters even acknowledge him. He’s just left there on the bed after that traumatic event. Say for one dismissive comment by Peter, pretty much saying, “Well he’s always been crazy, so who cares?” 

(A small thing worth mentioning is Janosz’s body language in that last panel. The way it’s drawn, he could either be sitting as he was before, now with his head sunken down, and his ear is in the light. Or he could have a hand to his face, indicating him breaking down. Either way it’s rather sad.)

I wish Ray could've at least tried to speak to Janosz, assess the scene and figure out for himself what Janosz had done to save everyone lives despite what he was forced into. This would be confirmed by Kylie, having just witnessed it. Then Winston could fill-in the blanks by mentioning Janosz’s nephew and sister. We meet his nephew, Alan, long before we meet Janosz. Then the whole story of how and why this happened could come together. Perhaps redeeming him slightly in the Ghostbusters eyes, sans Peter of course. Ray could talk to Janosz and then he could have that little glimmer of hope again.

It would’ve been a nice book-end to everything set-up since the end of the 2nd film, the start of this particular story arc and a fitting end to Janosz’s character arc. Have it mean more than just a cute gag. Not to mention provide some closure for the possibility of Janosz’s recovery after his sacrifice and suffering. 

But, sadly, we’re left with the much more bitter and tragic end for Janosz’s character with no sign of things getting better again, despite everything he’s been through. Still in an asylum, still alone.

So Funko Pop have released anew line of Ghostbusters figures. They’ve always had ones like the usual Ghostbusters, Louis Tully, Stay Puft, Gozer, the 2016 film, Stranger Things, Conan O’Brian as a Ghostbuster for some reason.

To be honest, I know other fans like my friends and I are still waiting on figurines of: 

Janine Melnitz (NOT how she looked in the Funko comic) 

Walter Peck 

Janosz Poha 

Vigo the Carpathian

The Rookie 

The Real Ghostbusters

Extreme Ghostbusters

Maybe even a few different characters from the IDW comics? Like Kylie Griffin, Aibell, Idulnas, Ron Alexander, Jenny Moran etc.

Favorite villain of the year!!

Ooh that’s a tricky one! Well, because this year really has been the year of Ghostbusters for me, having gotten more involved with other fans and going back to the IDW comic series. Which has some fantastic monsters and villains. Most of them being one-off threats, depending on their class. But there have been some very impressive and diabolical villains like Tiamat, Ivo Shandor or Aibell. All of them good baddies and deserving of a punch in the face (IMO). The things Aibell did in the comics are still kind of upsetting to me.

However I’m going to have to give this to a demon named Idulnas - the third minion of Gozer.

His blue crystal design is equal parts stunning and creepy. Rather than anything to do with being multi-dimensional or empathetic, I’ll always remember him as being one of the more violent villains in both his actions and spoken threats. Nevermind the stuff that’s simply implied. Which is saying something for a series that has A LOT more gruesome and tragic stuff under it’s adventurous comedy surface.

Like, seriously this shit gets so heavy! From prolonged lives made to make victims suffer, screaming baby amalgamations, protagonist deaths, gods that rain blood from the sky, mass murder suicide ghosts and a sandman that comes and cuts out people’s eyeballs. So it just say something if he stands out most for me.Plus the stories we got out of him were really that good. His second appearance being the best and most effective.
