A bit late given EFNW, but I can now cover the latest check-in with the Equestrian chapter of the Legion of Doom.
Well, this has been an eventful day. I was able to slip in between Hasbro purges and catch the movie, so let's get this out while it's still technically Sunday.
Sunnytember continues as we take a look at what the comics have been up to. When last we left that instance of Maretime Bay, Discord had emerged from the depths of antiquity and the ruins of Canterlot, seeking to save ponies from themselves by eliminating magic. We will, of course, immediately follow up on such a major plot development.
… Won’t we?
It may seem like nothing's happening with G5 content given the glacial pace at which it’s coming out, but it is accruing, slowly but surely. As proof of that, we begin a two-week block of the Starscout Era.
We conclude the comic catchup with the main line and the last two issues of the Milkyway Incident. When last we left the royal sisters, they’d dragged both Pipp’s reputation and the palace through mud. (Well, the mud went through the palace.) Let’s see how this gets cleaned up.
This week, we have Rarity faced with a seemingly irreconcilable dilemma between her artistic desires and economic realities that threatens to crush her dreams.
This week, it's that classic mainstay of mid-century comedy, the man in a dress. And you know what? I thought it worked. Not because it was a stallion in a dress, but... well read on to find out. It'll be in the thicker paragraphs.
The midseason hiatus has begun, and so I turn back the clock to the oldest episode I haven’t done yet in this, my 250th blog. As a reminder, everything else can be accessed from the FiCG index page, which is always available from my user page. Now, let’s get assertive
Wherein Scootaloo decides it’s long past time she made some puberty-grade bad decisions.
This week, we begin our look into a grand epic of madness, mayhem, and historical revisionism. And I do mean “begin.” With no more seasons to pad things out, Achilles is in danger of overtaking the tortoise, and a four-part—technically five-part; #75’s double-sized—series with Andy Price’s art definitely has enough material for two blogs. Let’s start stargazing.
This week, we turn to the last one-shot issues of the IDW comic. The final three will draw Season 10 to a close. Let’s see if the prelude goes out on a high note.
If you were expecting “Magic Duel,” you can find it here. This week, we’re looking at the first part of the Crusaders’ dream trilogy… which, due to how I ended up doing this blog, will be the last one I look at. And largely isn’t in Ponyville. Go figure.
Ah yes, the episode whose title works equally well for the plot of “Putting Your Hoof Down.” Let’s take a look.
This week, we return to the main comics, though these two feel more like Friends Forever issues that missed the boat.
Sorry for the slight delay; I blame Daylight Savings Time. In any case, this week we have a tribute to 1890s mystery stories and 1990s teen sitcoms.
I assure you, I will explain.
When last we left the comics, Twilight had sent Zecora and a brute squad to Farasi, a land Zecora had abandoned long ago on a quest for magical power… leaving behind her friends as well.
Any resemblance to Sunset Shimmer is probably coincidental. Besides, as far as I know, Sunset’s never had to deal with a grootslang. Time for adventurous diplomacy!
The interseason hiatus may have begun, but we have quite the animation backlog to get through before returning to the comics. And before we can even touch the EqG shorts, there’s a three-episode-long special to examine. Let’s get this show on the road.
This week, some loose ends from the very first episode get tied up in Slice of Life 2: Coherent in Canterlot.
This week, we reach the present moment with the G5 IDW comics; issue #8 only came out this week. Let’s see where we stand as of now.
Canon. Alternate. Universe. On paper, this should be my absolute favorite comic storyline, bar none. Let’s see if that hypothesis holds.
