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?

Wherein a shy, well-built stallion tries to get the girl with the dubious help of three friends.
… Wait, haven’t we done this before?

This week, we discover the goal of the Crusaders’ next quest: Deeper characterization. Truly a saga worthy of being recounted for all time.

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.

This week, the Crusaders recapitulate their journey from pests to professionals.

Ironic that a Daring Do episode got unearthed early. Still, it belongs in… well, not a museum, but certainly its proper spot on the calendar. Which, conveniently enough, is now. Let’s dig in.

When ink and pen in hands of men
Inscribe your form, bipedal "P"
They draw an altar on which
God has slaughtered all stability—

… What do you mean “Not that kind of pi?” No one could call Pinkie stable.

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…

Member berries are comin’ in nice. So are the bitter recollections if y’all prefer somethin’ savory. An’ there’s always, always Apples.

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.

And so we return to Equestria for the final stretch. And, as with the first half of this season, they feel the need to remind us of that in the episode title. Good thing this is a Pinkie episode; between this and the last Bronycon, it’s enough to make anyone feel a little melancholy.

Rather appropriate to have a diarch-focused episode so close to a solstice. Let’s see what night and day get up to while Twilight’s trying to fill all eight hipposandals at once

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.
