Pony Media: Melowy Vol.1: The Test of Magic Review · 7:51am Jun 13th, 2018
Another edition of Pony Central is up, and I have a comic review about a brand-new series called Melowy. Since Season 8 is on hiatus and the next EQG special won't air until August or September, I wanted to check out this comic. Once in a while I like to take a break from MLP to focus on another pony theme series. As for this comic, it initially comes from a book collection called Melowy written by Danielle Star. I couldn't discover anything on her aside the fact she lives in England with her five horses in the countryside. Danielle seems to come off as an unknown which I find similar to Lauren Faust before she began FIM as Gen 4. The series is actually brand new and started in January of this year with five books already translated into English. However, the writer for the comic is Cortney Powell another unknown that I can't find anything on from any previous works. There was one name I recognized and its the drawer named Ryan Jampole. He's known for drawing others comics like the Archie Mega Man collection.
For the review its self, Melowy takes place in a magic world called Aura that's populated by Pegasus ponies. These are Melowies, a fairy winged Pegasus' that have unicorn horns. At the start, I thought Melowy was the main character's name, but that is just the specie of ponies of that world. The main characters who I call the Main Five are Cleo, Selena, Cora, Maya, and Electra, a group of friends that attend the Castle of Destiny. It's here they learn the traits of friendship and how to harness their magic powers. Now, you are thinking it's another magic girl group in a high school setting? It actually is not as unlike Equestria Girls, this takes place in a magic realm similar to Equestria. I was glad to discover this in my recommendation list when I was shopping for other comics on Google Play.
