We’re sticking with the side stories for a bit to bring things to some semblance of parity. As such, this week, we have Rarity on a commune and a team-up between two of the most important people in Twilight Sparkle’s life.

Two more weeks of side comics before we cut back to the main storyline. Right now, we have an art competition and a haunting to look into.

We may have run out of horse-ape specials to mitigate the intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s no rest for the cardy. After all, I still have a whole lot of comics to get through, and this week, we’re resuming the IDW rundown with a bang. Or possibly a prolonged whimper; I only know the broad strokes of this storyline. Let’s see which is the more apt description.

If you’re looking for “Father Knows Beast,” it should be just under this one in your feed. If you’d like to see an example of disunited nations even worse than “School Daze” and far, far funnier, read on.

This week, we have one of several issues that directly connect to Season 7 episodes, along with the penultimate Friends Forever. Let’s begin.

We’re not quite through with the Better Together backlog yet. This week, we’ll be looking at the shorts’ school play storyline from start to finish. Places, people!

This week, we have consecutive single-issue Season 7 follow-ups, one of which I have been very eagerly anticipating.

One week away from the movie premiere. That’s going to be an interesting weekend to manage…

Eh, that’s future FoME’s problem. For now, the Crusaders get to meet their greatest nemesis yet and I wish I’d ever seen Parks and Recreation so I could do an on-theme intro gag.

New Year’s Eve. When better to do an annual? Though Free Comic Book Day would also be suitable with this one, but I don’t have nearly enough comics in reserve to delay it that long. So, let’s look at what the Power Ponies are like when they aren’t the Mane Six.

I know I said I wouldn’t review these episodes until they aired in the States, but that was before I learned that Discovery Family plans on reopening the season with another double feature on the fifth. I really don’t like doing multiple episodes per blog. Doing so dilutes the attention either gets and keeps me from exploring their deeper design potential. For those of you still gamely avoiding spoilers (and best of luck to you,) I’ll say no more here and link back to this blog next week.

She governs one of the most powerful nations in the world. She ensures the continued survival of the entire planet. She has thwarted some of the greatest mages and monstrosities in the world.

But can she act?

We may be in an intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s still a week’s worth of animation for me to review before going back to the comics. The Equestria Girls shorts never stopped being a thing. Indeed, they’ve been a thing for long enough that even Hasbro’s sluggish YouTube release schedule has almost caught up to this article. Let’s get started.

After the Dominaria prerelease, it feels appropriate to have an episode focused on people returning home after a long absence. Of course, not everyone has that same sense of history and nostalgia. Let’s see how this pans out, and hope there’s nothing that anyone can peg on Belzenlok, King of Storms, Spirit of Chaos, Enslaver of the North, etc.

Appropriately enough for an episode with a B plot, this week is an FiCG double feature! Click here for the previous installment, a card blog featuring concepts from the Triptych Continuum. Or read on for further exploration of the SS Sugarmac

Be advised, there may be a new episode coming this Friday at 2 PM. It’s clear that Discovery Family’s “Summer Surprises” is code for “lol what’s regular, predictable scheduling.” On a similar note, today’s comic took me off-guard during my scheduling.

A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. Let’s make this last card blog of the intraseasonal hiatus worth the wait.

We interrupt my Zeno-Achillean efforts to catch up to IDW’s tortoise to take a look at some of the Equestria Girls shorts that have gone up recently. I held back on these because I like being able to provide links to the source material for those who haven’t seen them, and Hasbro has been slow-rolling the YouTube releases to get more people on the Discovery GO app. Thank goodness for Dailymotion.

Hello, all. I'm deviating from the main series this week to at least start the other comic lines; the first issues of both the single-character-focused micro-series and the two-character-focused Friends Forever line. Let's see where this takes us.

Happy Christmaween! (Nightmare Warming? Sounds like psychotropic climate change.) I though this was going to be the “ia” of Season 8’s “Welcome Princess Celest,” but it’s a full-fledged hour-long special. Let’s dig into the out-of-seasonal cheer.

Would you look at that. We’re actually getting some comics in this hiatus. Only one blog’s worth, since there’s an EqG special airing next week, but we still have time to look into Pinkie and Rainbow Dash wreaking havoc in their own particular ways, along with Toni “Pencils” Kuusito’s premiere as an official comic artist.
