If you haven't been reading it already, you should check out IDW's various Ghostbusters comics. They're true to the spirit (no pun intended) of the original movie, and a lot of fun. In fact, they just started a miniseries that sees the live-action Ghostbusters meet their cartoon counterparts. Come on in and we'll help you find some fun things to read.

Never give up - everybody gets rejected sometimes!

Today he's one of the heads of DC Comics. But back in the '80s? Not so much:

James Gunn Reveals 'Guardians' 2 Title

So, we all already know that there's going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but we hadn't yet heard of a title. James Gunn, the director, revealed on Twitter that the title for the second Guardians movie will be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. 

If you saw the first movie it should be clear that the title is a play on the movie's soundtrack title: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and it's assumed the sequel's soundtrack will be volume two, though that is yet to be confirmed.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled for release May 5, 2017, so you all have plenty of time to speculate!

Yes, the official title for the @Guardians sequel is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. Nice detective work, @colliderfrosty, etc! You got us!
