The Summertime Sadness Demo Comic

Premise:

Four men who work in a paranormal extermination industry get replaced by the paranormal because of a dimension collision. With the help of the receptionist and her ex, the men in grey try to stop this new threat.

Characters (Who):

- Dr. Peter Venkman is stated as the mouth of the Ghostbusters. Without him, the Ghostbusters only have skill with them and no wits, making them very gullible. In a dream, he has a big burn on his left eye. The rest of them have a big influence on the Maho Shojo genre, one of them even turns Peter into a girl himself. Pretty clever, but uses his mouth more than his brain. He uses his guns, his traps, and his jokes. Hates Mondays, and taking unimportant busts. Is a professional golfer-to-be. Peter Venkman is voiced by Clyde Norton, a popular anime voice actor, notably for Dark Knight Musashi from Vampire Ichika.

- Dr. Ray Stantz is stated by Venkman to be the heart of the Ghostbusters. Without him, the Ghostbusters would be very cold and inconsiderate and also worser traps. He was once hypnotized to get the Ghostbusters for like 2 minutes before being set free by Jasmine the Chicken. Enigma uses this approch in reference to Vigo doing the same thing, thinking that "well maybe this time I can do this thing" but she really can't, thanks to Jasmine. Enigma is insane. Ok anyways, Ray is eccentric and estatic. Always coming up with solutions for the impossible. Has some Steven Universe vibes in the ways of his strategies. Loves traps. Ray Stantz is voiced by Max Spencer, a famous cartoon voice actor, notably for  Louis Mathis and Tooth from The Shark Prodigy and Brian from Brian and Bryce.

- Dr. Egon Spengler is stated to be the brains of the Ghostbusters. Without him, the Ghostbusters will stumble around not knowing what to do without a guide. He, in particular, can accidentally look at the camera at any moment, despite him being a cartoon (he does not know that), after the failure of hypnotizing him. It's weird, it's supposed to be. He also has a distaste for Roger Baugh, Janine's ex, but Egon managed to go into Janine's mind with him (Ghostbusters Vol. 2 #6), along with crossdressing with Roger as Egon's wingman. Quiet, gives exposition a lot, has wacky hair and a fanclub crazy for his hair. Egon Spengler is voiced by Wilbur Porter, a comedian, who did Colton Cobb from Under the Weather and Dan Witvos from Real Show for Real People.

- Winston Zeddemore, who isn't a doctor, is stated to be the soul of the Ghostbusters. Without him, the Ghostbusters would not have free balloons for the kids, or even birthday party messages for that matter. He seems to be super confused and tired, and also loyal to the multiverse. Loves kids. His OWN story begins after everyone's minds got erased about he and his wife's wedding, with the exception of his mind. Likes Nickelodeon shows because he just does. Winston Zeddemore is voiced by Edgar Lyons, who did Terry the T-Rex from The Dinosaur Friends.

- Janine Melnitz, the secretary, needs a raise. Without her, the Ghostbusters will drag away from what they have to do to focus on other things. She is usually the one telling everybody what to do. Gives off Yui Nanase vibes. Seems to be the character going through the least development, if you don't count that complete timeskip from Ghostbusters 2 to this one, where this universe's Janine has already went through both Louis and Roger and has reclaimed her Ghostbusters 1 charm, with a few 90's girl power stuff. A bad girl compared to nice girl "Janine 2.0". Developing anime hair as a reference to XGB Janine. Janine Melnitz is voiced by the great Kathleen Tsao, most popular for Besty Herman in Kendall Monroe's Secret Mysteries, Miranda/Sailor Umbriel in Sailor Dione, and Stripe the Sock from Dazzle and Friends.

- Prof. Roger Baugh is a white guy with a ponytail. In Winston's wise words, "Never trust a white guy with a ponytail." The Ghostbusters try to ignore Roger until the 2nd half of the movie. Roger tries to ignore speaking to Janine because she was his ex, and he wasn't in the firehouse to see her anyways. Pretty quiet. Just putting out the stuff that comes into his mind suddenly until Act 3. He speaks a lot after that, but can kill a ghost with his weird roasts. Roger Baugh is voiced by the "later SNL comedian" Manuel Fields, who was previously known for Junior Nash from The Shark Prodigy and Aras from Neptune's Chosen.

- The Spectral Ghostbusters are evil Ghostbuster doppelgangers pretty much. Originally the uniforms used by the Ghostbusters during the battle of Gozer which got manifested with marshmallow goop and ectoplasm. Defeated by Slimer flying around really fast in the RGB show. With the SGB being as gullible as they are, they shoot Slimer instead of the Ghostbusters, which wears them out because they're shooting out their own body. They return after either Roger or Owari open up the containment unit for like 3 seconds. The team uses their return and the apparent dimensional scramble to their advantage, claiming they are from it, as well as putting words in the real Ghostbusters' mouths. This tricks Janine and Roger into believing their lies, as well as a portion of NYC, and also the interdimensional guests because, well, duh! They're from diffrent dimensions, how are they supposed to know? They are voiced by Clyde Norton, Max Spencer, Wilbur Porter, and Edgar Lyons.

- Dr. Egon Spengler of JI-511 is the brains of his Ghostbusters team. He has wacky blonde hair that somehow flows perfectly in all other dimensions, and he is being tracked by Owari, being called the 7th [Herrscher] by her. He found this out through Nico Yazawa, who is going through the same process. Stuck in the dimension of KJ-222. RGB Egon, as well as Sandy van Sanders, are voiced by Jason Galloway.

- Nico Yazawa of LL-616 is an ex-µ's member, who is known to Enigma as the 5th [Herrscher]. She is the exposition dump of the series. Nico Yazawa, as well as Natsuki, are voiced by Makayla Marshall.

- Peter B Parker of SB-129 is the one and only Spider-Man until he went Into the Spider-Verse. He just went through a re-marriage and is working on a new exercise plan. He started to be chased during his honeymoon before ending up in the interdimensional scramble. Owari thinks he is the 6th [Herrscher]. Spectral Peter hates his existance, believing Peter B is another him until he showed off some cool tricks. Peter B Parker, as well as Walter Peck, are voiced by Paul Preston.

- Owari - Owari looks like a young, kind lady, but looks can be decieving. She is trying to manifest the end of the world. She has gone through the most changes of any character in this. Even Shiori. We don't even know her fate, yet. When Owari didn't exist, Monika was the one who took her "final boss" role. The early Alpha Enigma says that she is only there to end the world and she has no sad backstory. Another states that Egon and Pheobe were friends but Pheobe is just lying to him and trying to manipulate him into his cult, while disguising herself as the third [Herrsher], Pheobe. This version is scrapped and the third [Herrsher] is Nancy Finn. The third version states that this is because she doesn't want to be in the lowest rank of her godlike species so she wants to become a god herself. The last version of Enigma is that she and her sister, Emily, are alien blasters, and then Emily died, so Pheobe wanted to end herself with a bang. Owari is voiced by Veronica Walton, who does multiple siren-like characters in other things.

- Virginia Strauss - Minor character. Self insert. Virginia Strauss is voiced by Aubrey Willis.

- Paige Rivers - Minor character. "Self insert". Voiced by "herself".

- Ron Alexander - Minor character. Former Ghost Smasher. Ron Alexander is voiced by Tommy Keith.

Where - New York in Multiple Dimensions, Somewhat San Francisco

What - The Spectral Ghostbusters replace the Ghostbusters unknowingly while the Ghostbusters are in another dimension with Real Ghostbusters Egon and Nico Yazawa and Peter B Parker. Being very clever, the Spectral Ghostbusters find out that there's people from a whole lot of other dimensions and they use that to their advantage. What NYC doesn't know is that their plan goes further than that. What none of these people know though, besides of the herrshers, is that there is a bigger force than just the SGB and a shark.

Why good guys - Because the universe is collapsing and they are about to lose their jobs. Roger is being chased by a psychopath who is threatening the multiverse's life.

Why bad guys - Because Roger opened up the containment unit and they are free. They have luck and glitching by their side.

Why bad girl - It is unknown but the filler explanation says it's because of her sister. She wants to grab 7 people with the greatest minds in the multiverse so she can destroy it.

Theme - Meta horror, sci-fi, comedy.

Tone - Everyone has their own tone. Ghostbusters are funny, Janine is mad, Roger is timid, Spectral Ghostbusters are monotone, Enigma is dark or depressed, Karolina is deep, Nico is cute, Peter B is confused. The book has a deep colored tone, with darks and neons.

How - The Ghostbusters and Spectral Ghostbusters use words and guns to get what they want. So does Janine. Peter B is Spider-Man. Nico is the meme master. Sandy and Helen and Roger all talk a lot. Sandy is determined. Helen is adventurous but is never skimpy. Roger is anonymous with his skills but a free verse poem states that he took taekwondo lessons at a young age, and his actual words state that he is a roast master thing. "Well, you attacked Janine unawares, I say that it's the very definition of cowardly." Everyone else is either defenseless or completely different.

The end of Owari is unclear, but the end of the movie after the fight? Yes, it is. Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston still do their stuff. Janine is still a secretary. The SGB are in New Jersey with Virginia Strauss being their manager. Spectral Peter is dating Lynn Fisher from PU-422 after she realized that she loved him instead of the real Peter. Roger become a notable author and helped the letter Y graduate college. Actually his ending is unclear but you know the basics... Isla Ende is Australia's Best Explorer of 1981 in the Australia's Best Bosses Awards. Bow is cool but I have only watched 2 She-Ra & and the POP episodes. Nancy Finn and Natsuki live out their lives as normal. Nancy is an office worker. Natsuki is a librarian. Nico comes out with the song "Crush Culture" instead of Conan Gray in LL-616. Peter finds out that Mary Jane has been waiting for Peter in the town she was in at the honeymoon for a while. Peter comes back and Mary Jane is happy. RGB Egon notices that Peter, Winston, Ray, and Janine have left the Ghostbusters to do their own hobbies, leaving only himself and Slimer. This is in 1994 for him. Everyone else is super duper happy.

A panel of the sky shows up, and then the No Ghost running from a No sign while the sky is still there. The No Ghost jumps over a ramp and falls to freedom.

No Ghost: Yes, freedom!

The No sign teleports to No Ghost's direction and traps him.

No Ghost: Oh cow!

No Ghost: Well, that's Ghostbusters for you.

The No Ghost turns into the regular Ghostbusters logo.

The Ghosbusters logo is on a billboard for the Ghostbusters.

Wolter: Stop right there!

DPeter: No she isn't.

Page 5:

Molly: Yes I am because I had no money to pay you for busting that annoying ghost!

DEgon: You are practicing an illegal action right now.

Molly: Illegal? ILLEGAL!? Pffft- no, you're doing the illegal things! Ehehehehe!

You were on a rush, I had no money at the time, so deal with it!

DPeter: At the time? That's bad but do you have the money now???

Molly: Doesn't matter. Pay me.

DPeter: No.

Wolter: Yes. Or else jail time.

Sabrina: Uh, guys, this isn't time to talk about money.

Sabrina and DWinston are standing over a falling sidewalk.

Page 6:

The cement cracks revealing a dark empty pit of hell.

DPeter: WAIT, WHAT!

The Ghostbusters fall down the pit.

Peter wakes up with a scream.

Page 7:

Ray: Hey, Peter.

Ray walks into frame, with only a sihoulette telling that it is him.

Peter: Woah, that was a crazy dream.

Cut to a scene of strawberry rain.

Ray: Oh really?

Peter: Yeah, Ray. It's about that bearded weasel.

Small Bug (shivering): mmmm

Peter: And you were a girl.

Ray: Really? Oh wow!

Say, have you seen the rain?

Peter: All I can see was your beautiful eyes.

Peter gets out of bed.

Peter: It's a joke, Ray. And no, I haven't seen the rain. Why?

Ray: It's pink! Isn't that crazy?

Peter: Same pink we've seen on every bust in the past three days.

Ray: I know, freaky.

Page 8:

Egon: Luckily for you two, I have thoroughly thought of a conclusion of the pink rain.

We shall gather up and shoot the clouds.

Peter: What? NO!

Egon: Just as long as we don't cross the streams.

Peter: Still not buying it, buddy.

Drink anytime we're gonna kill a bird.

That's a lot of birds, Spengs. Not doing it.

Egon: Fair point, but-

Ray: We can throw grenades at the clouds so they can explode!

Winston: Ahaha, man, you guys are killin' me.

Pack up, we have to go.

Janine picks up the phone.

Janine: Ghostbusters, how can I help ya?

Fishunter: He don't like my fish! He don't like my fish!

Janine: Ok, Mr. Fishunter, we'll be there!
