It was the Best of Times, it was the Worst of Times… that’s right, this is a tale of two cities, but the twist is: they’re both New York, separated by a dimensional wall. On one side of the dimensional gulf is the New York inhabited by the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, a city full of ninjas, mutants, science and sorcery that spans the centuries. On the other, the New York of the GHOSTBUSTERS, where science tracks the supernatural and removal of unwanted phantoms and poltergeists is a blue-collar job rife with city contracts and bureaucracy. The pizza’s pretty good in both universes.
Special thanks to Joan Hilty, Linda Lee, and Kat van Dam for their invaluable assistance.
