So. Not only have the comics still not come out, issue #97 has been pushed back to May. Fine then. We’ll push the next manga chapter up two weeks. (How do I deliver more consistently in my job than these people?)

This week we reach the final full episode of Friendship is Witchcraft, though far from the last FiW content I have to work with. We’ll get to that in time, but for now, who remembers Babs Seed?

Pony Life has yet to emerge from the primordial ooze, so this week we’ll close out the first volume of the OEL manga. Let’s see what there is to be seen.

And so the unsung underbelly of G4 draws to a close… more or less. There’s that intergenerational crossover coming up. But this is certainly the finale to Season 10, and to the FiM line. 102 issues isn’t a bad run, and that’s not counting alll the spinoffs. Let’s see how it wraps up.

Thank you for patience; between EFNW ’21 and a day largely lost to air travel and time zones, I didn’t have the time to put together cards. Thankfully, it’s a fairly light week; we’re doing a roundup of the side shorts and suchlike of Friendship is Witchcraft.

We may be out of animated FiW content, but that doesn’t mean we’ve exhausted the well. There are still a few installments left, between the side projects and the live reading we’re looking at today.

For my opinion on the movie, see here. Note that there will be spoilers. There will also be somewhat more oblique spoilers in the cards, so I'll just cut it off here.

It’s time for more from Trailblazer, and this time the story’s really getting into high gear.

We’re not quite done with IDW yet. This week, we look at what may technically be part of G5. After all, what else do you get when you add G1 and G4?

At least, I think that’s the name of this storyline. The PDF I’m reading from doesn’t actually name it; it just gives chapter headings. In any case, the second comic storyline delves into another lingering question of the show: What is the Nightmare?

This is the main reason why I decided to skip over the comics a few weeks ago. I like the idea of the first card blog of 2022 using one of the oldest in-universe documents we have for source material. Let’s see what the diarchs thought of their first days on the throne.

Ugh. I hope that pun is the worst thing about this episode. I also doubt we’ll see any vamponies. We’ll see as this chronicle begins…

This week, it’s all about addiction and consumption. Whether it's power or pastry, enough is never enough. My next batch is almost ready; let’s look at the raw ingredients that went into it in the meantime.

This one’s a bit unusual. It comes as a request from SirNotAppearingInThisFic (and yes, I do plan on doing the official chapter books, including one next week.) I didn’t really know what I was getting into when he suggested, but having taken a look, this does work.

So, to overwhelmingly greater demand than I expected (i.e. any,) I am delving into the official Friendship is Magic novels. There are a staggeringly high number of them, along with journals, mysteries, handbooks (hoofbooks?) and more. I have a newfound respect for G. M. Berrow in terms of her sheer output. In any case, let’s see what the very first one has to offer.

We return to animation with a bang and several buckets’ worth of shenanigan potential. Let’s begin

Look, Estee noted that I design Magic cards in a recent blog. Then I mentioned in a comment on that blog that I had a few designs based on the Continuum. One thing lead to another, and here we are.

Rather appropriate spot for a novel focusing on Discord, honestly. An unexpected intrusion to G5 with startlingly little actual impact on it perfectly describes his actions in the comics thus far. But since the Make Your Mark series isn’t available until tomorrow, it’s noodle novel time.

Hello all. It’s time for the penultimate pre-Season 6 card blog, and since I already did a few cards for the Rainbow Rocks followup music videos, that means the bottom of the barrel consists of the Friendship Games shorts. As with last week, links have been provided for your convenience.

We come to the penultimate episode, though Winter Wishday is perfectly timed for two weeks from now. Awfully considerate of Netflix. Now, let’s see just what mystery is ahoof.
