Ghostbusters: Answer The Call 5 is the fifth and final issue of a five part series by IDW Publishing.

Plot[]

"What Dreams May Come," Part 5! Grand Finale! By leaning in to everything that unites them and eschewing that which divides them, can the Ghostbusters turn the tables on "Schrecky"? In an attempt to save the city, the Ghostbusters venture into Schreckgespenst's nightmare-scape one last time, to defeat him on his own turf!

  • This is it! Don't miss the ladies from the 2016 film in their very own series!
  • Can they finally give "Schrecky" a taste of his own medicine or will Holtzmann's crazy new machine just kill everyone?! Maybe both, people. MAYBE BOTH.
  • And will Kevin ever get to be a real Ghostbuster? Or will he just wear the outfit really really well? [1]
