Thoughts on Fiendship is Magic #2 · 3:17am Apr 9th, 2015
It's okay. It's not a complete story.
...
I have nothing to add. I haven't even finished the episode review, much less the comic one. At this rate, I'll accept surviving until Monday. Or dying before then. Either option works.
Which Fiendship are we on right now? It was Tirek, right?
I read it recently and.......I was strangely underwhelmed by it. It ain't bad or anything. It's just that it would have been better if it was 4 or more issues. For something that was supposed to be an origin story it really didn't delivered.
The Sombra one was better IMO.

Eeyup, Tirek.
The issue goes over a bit of his training, his first stab at draining a pony, how that kind of backfired...and that's about it. There's some worldbuilding, we see young Scorpan and Tirek's parents, and the issue itself isn't bad, but it feels like a prologue more than anything else. Compared with Sombra's story, which managed to be an entire narrative, it's rather underwhelming.
Next week we have the Sirens. I can't remember if it's Chrysalis or Nightmare Moon after that.

I wanna say Chryssi is #5.
My current hope is that it's a bit of a prologue for an upcoming comic arc in the main series.
I want to know why Discord was in that throne room, and I want to see Tirek versus Starswirl.
