This week, we continue our investigation into the Ponyville Mysteries side series, with crimes ranging from petty theft to grand arson. You know, for kids!
The comics never stopped being a thing, though Discord trying to destroy magic in the name of peace certainly never factored into any other G5 media. Such is the risk you take when trying to fill the gap without any idea of what’s to come. Could be worse. We could have had an Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog situation. (Long story there, with many echidnas.)
I’ve been looking forward to this one. The premise is as fascinating as it is surreal: A classic novel presented in comic form, with the G4 cast filling the roles. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, no less.
This week’s entry presented an unfortunate challenge. Namely, there didn’t appear to be a name for the storyline as a whole. Each issue is identified, but there’s nothing for the whole arc... or so I thought. DannyJ gave me the information found here when the comics refused to. With that marked on the map, let’s set sail
Going to split my focus between main issues and specials for a few weeks, especially since this special is a one-shot.
So, as I have come to understand, the main G5 IDW line has been replaced by/subsumed into a series of mini-series and one-shots that feels like the equivalent of a network trying to kill a show by bouncing it around the schedule. Hopefully I’m being paranoid there.
Bit of an awkward situation this week. It’s time for another main comic storyline… but the next two issues are one-shots. As such, as per the convention I’ve established for the spinoff lines, I’ll tackle both of them to ensure sufficient material. Let’s begin.
Kelpie issue
Yeah, even the wiki doesn’t have a title for this one. Though given how there’s very little verbiage in this issue, that’s actually kind of appropriate.
Happy Christmukkah! Aren’t lunar calendars fun?
Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby,
First, let me start off by saying how much I've appreciated the support and compassion of so many people during my long, long recovery. I'm most grateful, and it has been a bright spot for me as my long weeks of isolation here in my home have slowly gone by.
Time to end the Siege of the Crystal Empire. It's been a bumpy ride, now will it crash and burn and achieve lift and soar majestically?
Well, this has certainly been a hectic week. I help host Thanksgiving, which means that this week has seen me chop, mince, crush, zest, sauté, and otherwise act as kitchen underling for my father. Good news is, I have a mountain of leftovers to enjoy.
Friendly reminder before we begin: Next week will see the hour-long EqG special “Forgotten Friendship” airing that Saturday at noon EST, with a card/review blog to match.
But before we deal with what may be the most depressing swimsuit episode of any intellectual property, let’s look at just why the Mane Six are some the scariest ponies in Equestria.
When last we left the main comic line, King Sombra’s girlfriend literally cured him of not being a pony. Also of death.
Thankfully, this storyline isn’t going to try to top that.
Rather sidereal theme in the titles this week, huh? In any case, we’re looking at the last of the main line Season 7 follow-ups and an issue that I had honestly forgotten about between its release and now.
Your creatures can help you cast these comics. Wait, sorry, no, wrong kind of convocation. These comics can help you get a glimpse of Equestrian geopoltiics.
Not sure if that’s any better…
This week, we begin our look at the most notable example of integration between the comics and the show, so much so that those who actually read the former were astonished to see some focus characters mentioned in “Campfire Tales.” Of course, that doesn’t mean there’s a one-to-one correspondence. Let’s begin at the beginning.
As noted yesterday, we have three weeks until the return of longer-form pony animation. That’s exactly enough time to review the rest of the Legends of Magic miniseries, excepting the annual, so I’m taking the opportunity. Let us begin the Tragedy of Darth Stygian the Wise…
This week, we have a bit of an awkward transition, going from one side series to another, beginning with an ending and ending with a beginning. Let’s see how this goes.
Hoo boy. This issue of FIENDship is going to be rough. At least there’s something to else to mitigate it. Now, which Friends Forever is this…
Oh.
Ladies and gentlemen, this week’s theme is scaled frustration.
This week, I had a choice between a group of EqG shorts with Halloween content or a pair of comics with Halloween content. I went with the latter, since the spookery would make up a larger percentage of the total reviewed material, especially when it turned out there was enough to work with in just that issue! Let’s begin.
