This week, we return to Hoofington for more of the adventures of Trailblazer. Last time, she met and—through audience participation—wooed a wide-eyed bat pony who’s just as eager to explore the world. Let’s see where her road takes us next.

This week, we return to the Berrow catalogue. While the previous entry offers the closest thing we have to Cadence’s canonical backstory, this one has actually been referenced in the show. Ponypalooza’s mentioned in “The Mane Attraction,” among other details. Let’s begin.

Well. That happened. And I mean that in the best way. Part of why I wrote an Anon-a-Miss fic so long after the fact was because I wanted to get it out before canon did “Sunset’s friends turn on her” right. I didn’t know it would go this right. Let’s begin.

Welcome to the hiatus, folks, or as I like to think of it, the time when fan work gets a chance to breathe. Normally, I’d be cardifying the IDW comics to fill the time, but at the moment, I do still have a video backlog. Namely, the Equestria Girls Summertime Shorts.

And so we close out Season 7. It’s been the Season of Family, the Season of Legend… and undeniably the Season of Leaks. Yeesh. Still, now that everyone’s had a chance to see this, let’s discuss it in detail.

This week, Hasbro teases me by putting a Wizards of the Coast IP and card games in the episode. Just not at the same time.

We return to Trailblazer’s adventures in Midgard for another round of excitement, adventure, and shameless flirtation. (Ah, the perils of crowdsourced characterization…)

Amazingly enough, we’re in for two weeks of new material. It’s like they actually rebooted the franchise or something.

This is certainly an interesting recipe, but before I start sampling it, I should note that you can help determine the subject of next week’s card blog by voting here. Now, where’d I put that spoon…

This week, we return to the union of modern ponies and 80’s villains. Well, the daughters of 80’s villains. Well, the minions of the daughters of 80’s villains.

… Let’s just get started before I take this any further.

The centennial issue marks the penultimate entry for the IDW main line. Issue #102, coming out next month, will close out Season 10 and the line as a whole. For now, let’s see how the end begins.

This week, we return to the Berrow catalogue and Dash’s turn in the spotlight. She’s been comparatively patient, but she also didn’t have a choice in the matter. Let’s see what this entails.

This week, we return to Trailblazer’s adventures, and this leg of the journey of the saga has so much going on, I’m taking it in halves.

Strictly speaking, the Daring Do trilogy came out before this, but I’d like to close out the Mane Six’s novels before moving on to Yearling’s semi-defictionalized adventures. So, let’s see how Fluttershy rounds out this part of the Berrow canon.

Just in time for the Amonkhet prerelease, we have a different sort of God-Pharaoh. Not as many horns and slightly smaller wings, but she inspires just as much fear and reverence in her subjects. Let's see what trials Twilight goes through in order to survive this hour of devastation.

We’re not through by a long shot. Time to start on the Equestria Girls backlog.

We return to one of the more unusual pony comic sidelines, the miniseries adapting Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women using the G4 cast. Clearly the most appropriate content I could cover on Super Bowl Sunday. Let’s see where this goes from here:

This week, we continue our journey through Minty Root’s backlog with two different takes on my favorite ponies. Remember, I’ve never claimed to be free of bias.
