10 Franchises Kept Alive By Comic Books
8. Ghostbusters
Another IDW series, the franchise's licence has been under the ownership of the publisher since 2008, with many one shots, mini-series, crossovers (IDW seem to enjoy those) and, of course, the main ongoing book.
The most recent big screen incarnation of the team was received particularly well, so fans of the original should be happy to hear that this version rarely appears in the comics, except for some tie-ins that released around the same time as the 2016 film and a couple team-ups with the main 1980s version.
So, again, while the films have a very slim chance of returning, the comics have excellently continued the legacy of the original movies and given us (as the theme with IDW) some great crossovers to boot.
