This week, I catch up with the comics. Well, the IDW comics, anyway. Manga from both sides of the Pacific are in the hopper, but for now, it’s time to close out a storyline and revisit a universe.

Let’s take a moment to consider what we know about the Mane Six’s families and when we learned about them.

Next week, I’ll begin delving into Friendship is Forever, the clip show closing out G4. For now, it’s time for more of the manga.

My local game store’s legal maximum customer occupancy is currently twelve, but I was still able to get in a Core Set 2021 prerelease. (Traitorous Greed into Angelic Ascension is an incredibly rude flavor fail and I love it. Bribe your way into heaven!) On a largely unrelated note, let’s look at the next volume of the MLP manga.

Much as I’d like to do Applejack’s clip show in light of her not getting a “Meet X” Pony Life promo, Fluttershy’s next on the docket. Let’s examine Buttershush through the years.

Sorry to disappoint anyone expecting a full card blog based on what little we know about G5. Instead, we return to Season 10 with a look at how Li’l Cheese was made.

Well, the groundwork, anyway. The actual construction’s a bit outside of the comic’s age range.

This week, we return to sequential art with the third volume of the MLP OEL manga. Let’s see what wonders await in the 4koma’d land of Equestria.

So. Since IDW interprets “Available December 2020” as “Available one or more seconds before January 2021,” we’re going to cycle back to the Flash Sentry Papers and cover the back half of Tumbleweed’s compiled archive.

This week marks the beginning of a four-stage content rotation that should see me through June. Fair warning, one step will be the new season of Pony Life. There are definitely interesting components there. For now, time to summarize some abridged pony.

So. IDW themselves said the annual would be out March 31st, but now it’s been delayed until some point this month.

This week, we close out Volume 3 of the OEL manga, finishing up the Scavenger Hunt of Harmony. And oh boy, did they save the weirdest for last…

This week, cultural homogenization meets My Fair Lady to launch the most unexpected canon ship since Sugarmac.

I’m not sure if this is a sign that every member of the Student Six will get an individual focus episode this season, but we’re certainly getting a very unexpected bit of character development. Let’s see what’s cooking in the Dragonlands. (With mesquite, going by the title.)

Sadly, despite the title and the Apple-centric plot, this episode is devoid of a certain Manehattan hairdresser. Let’s see what Linus Van Pelt’s favorite episode of FiM does have going for it.

Echoes of several episodes come together in… something like a harmony. At the very least, it’s not shattering any—

Make that not shattering many windows. Let’s get started before I have to update that further.

Just in case you thought I’d be addressing the movie that brought us the Smooze, the flutterponies, and Danny DeVito as the lord of Fraggle-Diamond Dog crossbreeds.

… actually, Diamond Dogs evolving from Grundles would explain a lot, especially if Discord got involved.

As countless beings execute the ultimate jailbreak in Theros Beyond Death, this week we wrap up the Ponyville Mysteries comics. Nothing quite on par with escaping the underworld, but still plenty to dig into.

Read More

With Ponyville Mysteries exhausted, we turn to… well, not quite the Equestrian Suicide Squad. That was the Season 6 finale. Perhaps their take on Justice League Dark (which I’m given to understand is like the Justice League but without milk chocolate, ergo, no Discord.)

And so we come to the last bit of official G4.0 animation. Oh, there will still be Pony Life, the Season 10 comics, fan projects both serious and silly, and so forth, but this is still a rather sad moment for me.

Thanks to some scheduling hiccups–more dry heaves, really—we’re still looking at Pony Life. I’m also taking suggestions for future card blogs. See here for details. But for now, let’s dive in.
