Howell will draw the regular covers and the variant covers will be drawn by Elsa Charretier and Valentina Pinto. The first issue releases in October 2017, is titled "What Dreams May Come, Part 1!" and the story starts off as a routine call to get rid of a Class 3 ghost but the team stumbles upon a frightening Class 7 specter. Two covers for Issue #1 and one for Issue #2 were also revealed. Issue #2 Cover B was drawn by Emma Vieceli. [2] Thompson kept the project a secret longer than 9 months. [3]
On July 21, 2017, during the Ghostbusters 101 panel, Tom Waltz mentioned the story follows up on the events of the Ghostbusters 101 mini-series. The Answer The Call team incorporates some lessons they learned from the prime team like new ways to use their equipment and containing ghosts instead of destroying them.

They learned some lessons from the prime Ghostbusters, that's what we call them at IDW now because we have so many Ghostbusters, so the prime Ghostbusters have shown them some new ways to use their equipment. If you've been reading 101, Ray kind of scolded Holtzmann on this idea you can't just destroy the ghosts. You have to do something to them. You have to contain them or they're just going to come back and probably come back worse so they're taking those lessons and incorporating them to their world but what they're going to run into is a ghost that feeds on their nightmares and their fears and turns them around back on them. And in some ways that's going to be horrifying and maybe too much for these girls to take on we'll find out, uh Kelly promised me she though thought that she thinks everyone is going to want to see what Kevin's dreams are like. And how those are going to turn out."
